Main Topics and Insights

1. Super Bowl LVIX – A Lackluster Game

Discussion Begins: [03:33]

• Summary: The hosts discuss the anticlimactic and dull nature of this year's Super Bowl between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. The crew laments the transition to the NBA/post-football season and details how the game failed to meet expectations for excitement.
• Quote:
  • Rich: “I can't...it might have been the most boring Super Bowl I've ever seen in my life.” [06:13]
• Key Points:
  • Seattle Seahawks won, 29-13, with a dominant defense.
  • The first half was notably boring, with almost all scoring happening in the fourth quarter.
  • Jason Myers (Seahawks) set a new record with five field goals, but none were dramatic.
  • The Patriots set a dubious record with their sixth Super Bowl loss, most by any franchise.

2. MVP, Offense Troubles, and Game Analysis

Discussion: [07:00] – [11:12]

• Summary: There’s a playful debate about whether a kicker can (or should) win Super Bowl MVP and some commiseration over Sam Darnold’s performance and redemption arc.
• Quotes:
  • Rich: "Would you have had to put [Jason Myers] in consideration?" [07:16]
  • Caller Jake: “No kickers. You could not vote for the kicker. That’s messed up, man. Kickers are people too.” [17:54]
• Key Points:
  • MVP went to Kenneth Walker, not Darnold or Myers.
  • Patriots QB Drake May showed potential but made costly mistakes.
  • Host and fans reflect on "what if" scenarios, like swapping QBs.

3. The Seahawks’ Bright Future?

Discussion: [13:02] – [15:11]

• Summary: The hosts pivot to what Seattle's win means for their future prospects given the youth of the roster, a competent Sam Darnold, and a dominant defense.
  • Rich: “Could you look at the Seahawks and genuinely think they'll be in the mix for a couple years? Is that the sense you get?” [14:25]

4. Halftime Show & Cultural Debate – Bad Bunny’s Big Moment

Discussion: [15:33], [29:50], [30:12], [32:00], [34:44]

• Summary: The Bad Bunny halftime show becomes a flashpoint. The crew analyzes the performance, discusses the pushback from some quarters, and considers the NFL’s strategy in choosing a global Latin superstar. There’s humor about memes, staging logistics, guest appearances, and commentary on social media “controversy.”
• Quotes:
  • Rich: “My favorite meme I saw was...Bad Bunny ran for more yards than the New England Patriots offense in the first half.” [16:13]
  • Covino: “If it hurts your feelings that bad, you're kind of soft. Enjoy some buffalo wings, grab a cookie.” [30:25]
  • Covino: “You can’t debate it...He was the number one streaming artist on Spotify...international superstar. How could you hate on that?” [32:00]
  • Covino: “For the record, would I have preferred Metallica? 100%. They're from San Francisco, their window's closing. But man, you can't get bigger than Bad Bunny internationally.” [34:44]
• Key Points:
  • Many appreciated Bad Bunny’s cultural representation and international reach.
  • Some older or non-Latino fans found it less accessible.
  • Notable guests (Ricky Martin, Cardi B, Lady Gaga, Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, etc.) joined the show, appealing to a cross-section of viewers.
  • Social media spread erroneous rumors about moments in the show, demonstrating how fast misinformation circulates.

5. Commercials and Changing Traditions

Discussion: [19:16] – [20:36]

• Summary: The guys bemoan the decline of buzzworthy Super Bowl commercials, especially the overuse of “weak AI,” and note that event viewing habits have changed; halftime and game action now anchor gatherings, not ad breaks.
• Quote:
  • Covino: “The whole thought of being excited about super bowl commercials is officially finito. Stick a fork in it.” [19:16]

[Isaac Loincron]

Hey.

[Covino]

Oh, back in Los Angeles. Had a great time in San Francisco. Thanks for being part of it. If you missed anything at covino and rich FSR on YouTube, hope you had a Seahawks kind of weekend. Congratulations to Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker, Dan Beyer and the Seattle Seahawks. Great job. Great job.

[Rich]

Oh, man, I think we gotta figure out how to get this Monday off.

[Isaac Loincron]

Not us.

[Rich]

I'm talking like society. We're like two years away from making that happen, huh?

[Covino]

Oh, yeah, we're real close to making it a holiday. Moving the weekend ahead or something like that. But anyway, I'm Kavino, that is Rich.

[Caller/Listener]

The.

[Covino]

The whole team is here and we're taking your phone calls. Let's go now.

[Rich]

I think to make that happen, it's simple saying holiday. With all these international games that are now on the docket, celebrate. You know what's going to happen. They're going to eventually go to 18 games. Every team will get two bye weeks because there's going to be a hell of a lot more international stuff. Thursday games, Friday games, all this nonsense which will push the season back one week. And by doing that, if you line up Super Bowl Sunday and President's Day the following day, who on planet earth would argue the day after the super bowl ends up being a holiday? That'd be perfect.

[Covino]

Perfect, though, Rinaldi, as you say. And speaking of international, that's the whole reason it was the Bunny Bowl. The Benito ball was a business move. It was not a political move. Hope you enjoyed halftime. Did we get through halftime, everybody? Are we okay? Did we survive?

[Rich]

I think we're good.

[Covino]

After a lackluster first half, halftime seemed a hell of a lot better because that was a boring ass game the first half. Let's be real about it and let's do our very last of the season. Things that made you go. Hmm. Super bowl edition.

[Rich]

Let's go, baby.

[Isaac Loincron]

Things that make you go.

[Covino]

H. Things that make you go. You know what's wild? It's. It's sort of sad and anticlimactic all at the same time because we have this long season. Every week, every day, we're talking about a new storyline. And it all ends today. And we have to pretend we're excited about the NBA.

[Dan Beyer]

Rich loves the NBA.

[Covino]

No. Well, I'm moving on to baseball. I don't know about you.

[Rich]

I just said it's like, it's like trying to get with a girl your whole, you know, time in college and like, the end of your senior year, you finally get her and, like, I don't know, she's like, lackluster in bed. And you're like, I went, I worked so hard to get with this girl. And that's it.

[Covino]

That's that.

[Rich]

The super bowl gave you that, like, unfulfilling feeling, like, this is what we work towards.

[Covino]

It's just a little sad, though, because it all came down to that. I do love the Sam Darnold storyline, of course, for the redemption of the Seattle fans who lost a heartbreaker to the Patriots all those years ago. And I feel a little sad for Drake May. I saw him all worked up and sad. Feels he let his teammates down. So let's talk about it. What were your observations?

[Dan Beyer]

Line didn't do him any favors.

[Covino]

Tell me about it. Right? I mean, he was off, though, but so was Darnold. However, they win 29 13. My prediction was 27 17. So, I mean, if it wasn't for the fourth quarter, there would have been no scoring in that game. But your thoughts from halftime to Green Day, to whatever you observed, we want to chop it up one last time and get you involved. Things that made you go, hmm, I have so many thoughts from halftime alone, Rich.

[Rich]

As do I. But let's. Let's talk about the game for one sec.

[Covino]

Sure.

[Rich]

Would you say, listen, we weren't there for the early Super Bowls when it wasn't a spectacle. They had marching bands at halftime. I'm sure they weren't the most exciting games. Wasn't the most exciting. I'm sure when our parents were little. Right. But in recent history, there have been blowouts, But a lot of times those blowouts were like. Like a powerhouse team on display. Like watching a dominant Cowboys team or a dominant, you know, Chiefs team or something where you're like, oh, look at this. Or Tom Brady working his magic. Something about this game. I can't. I don't want to be a prisoner.

[Covino]

Of the moment, but it might have.

[Rich]

Been the most boring Super Bowl I've ever seen in my life.

[Covino]

It was a very clear example of what we thought could happen, which was the Patriots had a weak schedule and he had some weak competition, and it was all exposed in the biggest game of the year. That's really it. And Seattle's defense deserves all the credit in the world. They were awesome. And again, we'll go through these observations and try to figure out why Rich is let down. If you have any thoughts, if you feel the same, let us know at 87799 on Fox. Let's go 87799 on Fox. And the live chat is up. Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube. You could watch what you hear. Covino and Rich FSR On YouTube. Two takeaways. History was made, though, Rich. Boring, yes, but history was made.

[Dan Beyer]

Boring.

[Covino]

Seattle made history with five field goals. So Jason Myers with five field goals. History.

[Rich]

Yay.

[Covino]

And the Patriots made history last night, too.

[Dan Beyer]

And none of the field goals were long kicks.

[Covino]

I know, I know.

[Dan Beyer]

There was no drama with the kick.

[Covino]

None.

[Rich]

There was a time in that game when it was 12 nothing that I was talking to the people at my house at our little party, and I was saying, yo, if Myers tax on two more field goals, and let's say this game ends 18 nothing. And it's because of six field goals. Was his name in consideration? Would you have had to put his name in consideration?

[Dan Beyer]

I don't think so. I don't think so.

[Rich]

Even if it was, let's just say in an imaginary world, if the dude.

[Covino]

Was responsible for 18 points or more, how could he not be Consideration gave.

[Rich]

It to Kenneth Walker. It was 12 nothing in the. At the end of the third, Walker scored zero points. I know, but he did have a nice accumulation of. He's the one.

[Dan Beyer]

He's the one that got them into field goal range.

[Covino]

Rich didn't say he would have won. He said he would have been in consideration. Okay.

[Dan Beyer]

He would have maybe been, you know, thought of, couldn't win. I don't think he could win it.

[Rich]

I agree. That would be a very weird.

[Dan Beyer]

He would need like a couple of 60 yard bombs.

[Rich]

Of course. No, agreed. But I'm saying when it was 12 nothing and that was the only scoring, I did think like, what if they have two more chip shots and the final score is 18 nothing, six field goals. You'd almost have to be like, should you give it to the kicker? Like, I Kenneth Walker had that run called back, which you thought was the icing on the cake, but he still got it anyway.

[Covino]

I mean, field goals aren't automatic, especially in big time pressure moments. And like I said, the Patriots also made history with the loss. That's their sixth super bowl loss, the most by any franchise in NFL history. So I don't want to say congrats, but you got to be pretty good just to even be in that company.

[Rich]

You know, it's, it's not boring if you're a Seahawks fan. I'm reading the feedback. Michael M. Says that.

[Covino]

No, that's true.

[Rich]

I agree. If you're a Seahawks fan, what an amazing day for you. But if you're not a Seahawks fan, the sentiment is top three boring super bowl of all time. Like it really was like that fourth quarter saved it from like without a doubt being the worst Super Bowl. Like maybe a couple turnovers. Some fun at least some.

[Covino]

Because like our buddy Spotty said on our Patreon today, we're on patreon every day. Patreon.com covino and rich There was like a 30 second window where you thought there might be a fun comeback because they started moving the ball a little bit. So there was like a little bit.

[Rich]

Like, oh, wait, hold on.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, Even Chris Collinsworth with that interception was like, I got nothing.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

He had just got done saying, wow, they found a tempo. They Found the rhythm, they find that.

[Rich]

Tempo, they score again. You're like, ooh, maybe they get the ball back like at the two minute warning and there'll be a chance. But then you're right that that pick sort of sealed it. But you know, one of the things that made me go, hmm, Things that made you go, hmm, it really does come down to who you play and who's the hot conference at the time. And again, not making excuses for my 49ers, but there is a part of me that's like, man, my 49ers team that lost a couple in the last five bumped into the Chiefs in their prime. I'm not saying the Seahawks were handed a Super bowl, but God, how many, how many NFC teams wish their chance was against that good Patriots team? You know, I'm saying like in the 90s, remember the 90s, it was whoever won the NFC for a while was going to win the Super Bowl. I feel like whoever cape like the Rams should be very bummed right now because the Rams are thinking. Stafford's thinking, man, if I would have got it together and we would have won that game, the Rams would have slaughtered New England.

[Dan Beyer]

But something that's being a little overlooked today, the Patriots defense really held their ground. They were bend, but don't break. If they had a better offensive performance, like, I caught Colin for just a few minutes this morning. You know, the guy who stole our quarterback.

[Rich]

Oh, the Fernando thief.

[Covino]

You mean the guy who sniped Fernando.

[Dan Beyer]

He asked the question, if you traded quarterbacks, would the Patriots have won that.

[Covino]

Game if you traded quarterbacks?

[Dan Beyer]

So Sam Darnold was okay.

[Covino]

I know that Sam Darnold's a darling to Colin.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, very much.

[Covino]

Colin was emotional last night, in tears because he was so overjoyed with the story of Sam Darnold. So if they would have traded quarterbacks, would the Patriots have won? No, no, I don't think so.

[Dan Beyer]

Because the Patriots defense played well, but.

[Covino]

I imagine Colin said so because he's such a fan.

[Rich]

I don't, I don't. I don't think the quarterback split a factor. Seattle D going after Sam Darnold. If he was the Patriots quarterback. I see it playing out the same way.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

I think either way, the Seahawks defense, Darnold had no turnovers, which was he. He did his part.

[Covino]

Sam Darnold, one touchdown, 202 yards, one tutty, and no turnovers. That was the key and that was the criticism as well. Even our very own Dan Buyer was like, let's hope he doesn't have a stinker and turn it over. Rich brought that up here on the show as well. Patriots, Drake May. 295 yards, two touchdowns, but also two.

[Dan Beyer]

Interceptions in a lot of that in the fourth quarter. Garbage time.

[Covino]

But I say no because Sam Darnold was the first to credit his own defense for winning that game. I think that was pretty evident. Even though Darnold played okay, it was the defense that won the game.

[Dan Beyer]

Sure. But if the Patriots had been able to put up some points there in the fourth quarter, we would have had a more exciting ending.

[Rich]

We were all hoping for that. But here, here's the question now, as far as things that made you go, our observations, and we'll take all your feedback.

[Covino]

Rich's wife's wings were more exciting than the game. I thought they were. Yeah.

[Rich]

Delicious. Yeah. Did you like the lemon pepper or the Cajun ones?

[Covino]

Both, actually. Yeah.

[Rich]

There was only one lemon pepper left, and I snagged it.

[Covino]

Watching Sam lick his fingers after eating that one he snagged was more exciting than the first half, I'll say the first half of that game. So more observations. What do you got, Rich?

[Rich]

I think when you, when you look at changing narratives in sports, that's what we do every day, right? We talk about, you know, who's good, who's bad, or everyone's got their weakest predictions. Half the time you're wrong, I'm wrong. The best are wrong, the worst are wrong. Right. No one's. No one could predict things. That's what you always say. Being trying to be a fortune teller in sports is ridiculous. But now that they won, there is a thought of, well, can the Seahawks now be at the beginning of a little bit of a run here? Because going into the season, we thought they got Sam Darnold.

[Covino]

He's good.

[Rich]

But I don't know if that'll take the Seahawks all the way. At least that's how I felt. They were in Vegas, scheduled to be, you know, predicted to be like maybe a borderline playoff team. But now that they won and you saw that defense is for real, you saw how well their coach, ironically, their.

[Covino]

Running game was what helped them out in this game. So if they build around that, too and build their offense up a little more. Yeah, but I'm saying they're on a good run right now.

[Rich]

If Sam Darnold is the guy that doesn't make the mistakes he used to, they have a good running back. They have a fantastic defense. They're well coached. And I looked it up. They're the fifth youngest team in the NFL. So if you're the fifth youngest team.

[Covino]

McDonald is what, 36 or something? 30 something.

[Rich]

He's 38 years old.

[Covino]

38. Geez Louise. So I'm saying if he's young, if.

[Rich]

He'S like, you know, a young mind. In the NFL, the roster's average age is 25. Could you look at the Seahawks and genuinely think they'll be in the mix for a couple years? Is that the sense you get? Or you. Or is this a sense of like, oh, no, this is an anomaly. Everything lined up for this team.

[Dan Beyer]

They didn't overpay for Sam Darnold, so they're definitely going to be in the mix.

[Covino]

Yeah, they're in the mix. Like, but the AFC is going to let.

[Dan Beyer]

The AFC is going to come back stronger, though. We did not have our premier AFC team in this Super Bowl.

[Covino]

It was.

[Rich]

It was a weird year for the afc. I will say that, because remember, going into the year, we were like, man, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Buffalo, Kansas City. We thought it was going to be an AFC driven league. And it turns out it was the NFC west. And like, you know, some of the North.

[Covino]

You know what I feel should have happened sooner. I think everybody recognized that Drake May should have just ran when he had the opportunity. That was the most progress they had, moving the ball down the field.

[Rich]

Yeah, there was. There was nothing.

[Covino]

Right.

[Rich]

Nothing.

[Covino]

Coverage was so tight. But it left some opening up for him to run. You know, when he did, they moved the ball, so. All right, then.

[Rich]

Keep doing that. My favorite meme. My. My favorite meme I saw on social media yesterday that everyone was passing around was at halftime when Bad Bunny's holding the football and he's walking forward through the corn maze while he's singing. It said, sugar cane, sugar cane, sugar cane fields. It looked like. I don't know. What is it? It was sugar cane.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Like they make rum.

[Covino]

Oh, if you're talking to Corny Collins.

[Rich]

I know my corn.

[Covino]

Sugar cane.

[Rich]

I mean, you are from Iowa, Sam. I had it.

[Covino]

I mean, it's Puerto Rico.

[Rich]

I thought it was hilarious when they said Bad Bunny ran for more yards than the New England Patriots offense in the first half.

[Covino]

Which was true. It was true. It was funny because it's true. And I have two observations about that, too. I kind of respected how Bad Bunny held the football. He had the five points of pressure, kind of looking like a pro there. And he had a little swag to him in his little Zara suit. He was looking handsome looking. A little swag. A Licious with the ball. Right.

[Dan Beyer]

Like an old school Roger Craig for the Niners.

[Covino]

Like he did it properly. He did it justice. But on that same note, I felt the way he spiked the ball was a little. Little weak. A little weak.

[Rich]

That was not a gronk spike.

[Covino]

It was not a gronk.

[Rich]

That was.

[Covino]

But at the same time, you know, it would have been awkward if he spiked it and it hit someone else in the face or came back.

[Rich]

It was, it was not an athletic looking spike.

[Covino]

So, yeah. But I think he had to go extra low to ensure that it didn't like hit somebody in the face. But I did notice it. It was a weak sort of spike and the football did say, if you missed it together, we are America. I thought that was cool. But yeah, respect to him and holding onto the ball tight.

[Rich]

Observations from the Super Bowl. Let's start with Jake and Penn. What's up, Jake?

[Covino]

Hey, Jake.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, what's going on, guys? First time, long time.

[Rich]

Oh, thanks, man. What's up?

[Caller/Listener]

So I got a grievance.

[Rich]

Yes.

[Caller/Listener]

I'm sitting there watching, I think at the beginning of the fourth quarter, you can vote. You can start voting for the MVP of the game. And so at that point in the game, I'm sitting there and I'm going, man, wouldn't this be crazy if the kicker from Seattle actually was the mvp? Because to that point he was the only one scoring points. And so I log on, I'm going to do my voting. You can vote for wide receivers, cornerbacks, defensive linemen, everybody. No kickers. You could not vote for the kicker. That's messed up, man. Kickers are people too. And he was the only one scoring point.

[Covino]

That's true. That's true.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah. That's weak. You should be able to vote for him.

[Rich]

Well, have feelings too.

[Covino]

Kenneth Walker, you know, was a surprise because no one predicted they'd be running the ball like that.

[Rich]

Plus 800 going into the game. Kenneth Walker, MVP was like around plus 800.

[Covino]

They were finding great success with Kenneth Walker and just running the ball, moving the ball and he would have had a touchdown. Right.

[Dan Beyer]

Charbonnet had been the guy there in the second half of the season for the most part. And he, of course, was out injured.

[Covino]

135 yards. I do think that him winning takes away from Sam Donald's story a little bit. I think he deserved it. I'm not saying he. I don't think he deserved it, but it would have been way cooler had Sam Darnold had a better game. Not that he sucked but if he had a really good game and won the MVP 2 just added to the awesome story of Sam Darnold's full circle of going from the jets and dished around to being super bowl champion and MVP.

[Rich]

Sam Darnold now has more Super Bowls than the four teams that dissed them since the 90s.

[Covino]

It's insane. It really is a great, great story.

[Rich]

Think about it. Carolina Nothing. Minnesota Nothing. 49ers. Last time they won the 94, 95 season and the jets come on.

[Covino]

So I have a non football observation, but it used to be such a big part of the game and celebration, and that's the commercials. There's so many reasons as to why we don't care as much as we used to. Social media is a big part of that. Our attention spans are a big part of that too, probably. But what's with all the weak AI in all these commercials? Like, there was a lot of. It was like an overuse of weak AI. I feel like people make better AI on their phones than they do in major motion pictures and major commercials. But I don't know, man. Like, the whole thought of being excited about super bowl commercials is officially finito. Stick a fork in it. I didn't give a diddly squat about any of them. Spot brought up the Jurassic park one. That one stood out. But again, it goes back to weak. It was a lot of weak AI. Like, it bothers my eye.

[Rich]

It's just not a focal point anymore. You know, we've attended parties and hosted parties our whole life, right?

[Covino]

See, it's Ben Affleck with a stupid wig on. I'm like, corny.

[Rich]

I feel like the attention at my house was everyone did that. It's like, settle down. Let's. Let's. Let's take a look at halftime and the beginning of the game. You know, the coin toss, national anthem, you know, the first few plays, and then people get in their chit chat mode. Eating, drinking, having fun. The idea of, like, yo, guys, settle down. Let's watch the commercials. That's. That's not a thing anymore.

[Dan Beyer]

Rich, did Charlie Puth make you cry?

[Rich]

I thought it was really good. I mean, good. Yeah, I don't think any.

[Dan Beyer]

And then the fist bump between the two pilots.

[Rich]

I don't think anything that happened yesterday, unless you're Dan Byer and you're a Seahawks fan, I don't think anything yesterday was memorable. I think it just goes in the mix of super bowls. There's been 60 of them now. Not everything can be the best in.

[Covino]

A Way, there was a football game going on during the Bad Bunny concert because there were so many people tuned in for that. By the way, the numbers are in. Over 141 million tuned in for Bad Bunny. And I don't think that game did football any favors. Yeah, it got a lot of eyes and a lot of casual fans involved, but the whole pull is to have Bad Bunny to bring new fans to see an exciting game. So if you're a casual fan. Yeah, you're chit chatting about the Buffalo Wild Wings when you should be excited about the game. It was a boring game, listen. With a lot of other controversy surrounding it.

[Rich]

If you had people over your house that aren't football fans, because I had a few friends that are like, yeah, I'm not a football person, but they're there for the hang. They made it a point to be like, you know, am I supposed to know some of these people? And the reality is, if you're not.

[Covino]

I mean, casual fans were not excited.

[Rich]

I mean, we all know football, but some of my wife's friends and stuff were like, who's like, the main guy? And I'm like, well, Drake May's young, so you really wouldn't know him yet. And Sam Darnold, like, he's got a cool story. Like, he was, like, thrown into the trash. And then this team gave him a chance in the last couple years, like.

[Covino]

Well, it was a big story for a lot of nameless offensive linemen for Seattle, too, because they were making some big plays. And a lot of people like, who's that? So congrats to the Seahawks.

[Rich]

You know, what I had to do yesterday, that was a pain in the ass. I can't be the only one. So I'll bring this up. If you had multiple TVs going. We had four TVs going at the house. We had the projector in the yard. We had the garage, the living room. And then near the kitchen, you had.

[Covino]

To set up four TVs. What are you, rich or something? TCL rich over here.

[Rich]

Go back to 1955. What do you have a TV? What are you, rich or something?

[Covino]

Commercial.

[Rich]

Back to the future.

[Covino]

What are commercials?

[Rich]

What's a rerun? With the rerun, you would think if I'm watching them all in the same streaming service, which I use, Hulu Live, all we're at a different speed. Do you know, I had to go around and be like, you know, they're in the beginnings. Where did. Give me. Where did Smith and Jigba go to college? Buckeyes Ohio State. Ohio State. Right. Okay. Yeah. So I had to wait until the little heads popped up and it's like Smith and Jigba. Ohio State. Pause in that moment. Get. I had to get every tv. Oh, you were coordinating at the exact same moment and then tell four people on the wall you did what it looks like. Be like and press play. Because Sam, when I put the game on, they were all in four different spots.

[Covino]

So with volume, same network.

[Rich]

Yeah, that. That's such a pain in. So I couldn't be the only one that had to sync up the TVs.

[Covino]

There's got to be a better way. So yeah, 141 million tuned in for Bad Bunny, but only to see a sort of a weak ass game. And 6.1 million tuned in to see Kid Rock.

[Rich]

That's USA. That's more fascinating to me that 6 million people were in such a protest like. But I'm going to watch Kid Rocks in Cowboy. Whether it seems it's the last thing I do.

[Covino]

I'm going to take a positive spin on this. That's a hell of a lot more than I thought would tune in to see Kid Rock. And that's not a knock on Kid Rock. You know, I, I grew up loving Kid Rock.

[Dan Beyer]

That's more people than have listened to his music in a long time.

[Covino]

6.1 million. Way more than I thought. And I heard it was pretty good. Same same for Bad Bunny. Pretty good. Depending on if you're a fan or not. So I heard it was all right, by the way.

[Rich]

Two things. Two things can be true. Two things can be true. You could, you can watch Kid Rock if you want. But the narrative that if you didn't like Bad Bunny and you like, I don't get it. That doesn't make you racist. By the way, just for the record, I saw people like say just language. Yeah. Like I don't care. Like you could, you could have thought. You could have said, yeah, I don't get this at all. Doesn't mean you're racist. Just means you're. You're not into Spanish speaking music and you're like, who you think everyone's parents knew who Bad Bunny was.

[Covino]

I thought it was better than the past few years, to be honest.

[Rich]

I was talking to my dad and we agreed on something. And Camino, I know you and I had the same thought when Ricky Martin comes out.

[Covino]

What a stud.

[Rich]

How did they drop the ball and not have him do like 30 seconds of live in La Vida Loco?

[Covino]

I know why you would have got stole the show.

[Rich]

You would have got everyone be like die.

[Covino]

Yeah, I know that he would have stole the show. He belted it though.

[Isaac Loincron]

Yeah.

[Covino]

A voice like that, he's aging backwards. Props to him. There's so many observations just from that too, which we got to get to and we will. But more of your feedback from the game and more. This is our very last of the season. Things that made you go, hmm, super bowl edition. More Covino and Rich next on Fox Sports Radio. All right, buddy, Ready to tackle your financial goal? Am I?

[Rich]

Celebrate. Remember when Sandler's all sad in the Wedding Singer?

[Covino]

Oh, yeah. Let's celebrate. And we're getting closer to that super bowl after day off.

[Isaac Loincron]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And we hope you're feeling okay today. Hope you didn't party too hard Andrew WK style. But right now it's our last. It's kind of sad. It's our last of the season. Things that made you go home. Super bowl edition.

[Rich]

Let's. Let's go right back to you guys.

[Covino]

And I got a lot more super bowl halftime observations too. Cause that's the big controversy, right? The game was pretty much cut and dry. Seattle dominated.

[Rich]

I don't believe it.

[Covino]

What?

[Rich]

I don't believe it. I think no one really cares. And a few people on social media make us think people are mad about things. Like what were you really Mad about Bad Bunny for, like, what would make you mad about that?

[Covino]

Well, for non Spanish speakers, it's just. They don't understand.

[Dan Beyer]

You didn't see Eric Dickerson, hall of Famer, double down on how it was un American.

[Rich]

Yeah, but it's like 15 minutes of a performance. It doesn't speak English. Not for you.

[Covino]

If it hurts your feelings that bad, you're kind of soft. Enjoy some buffalo wings, Grab a cookie. Have a conversation with someone.

[Dan Beyer]

I'm not disagreeing, but, Rich, there were plenty of people with the way they worded their posts on social media.

[Rich]

You know what I say to those people?

[Dan Beyer]

It kind of came off a little racist.

[Rich]

You know what I say to those people? Get a life. Like, you know, I. I call it how I see it. Sometimes I lean one way, sometimes I lean another way. I don't get how, like, you can't.

[Covino]

Be mad for the NFL making a great business decision again. I'll reiterate what we already said. It wasn't a political choice. It was a business decision. They are going international. There's so many international games next year. They're trying to globalize the sport. They are globalizing the sport. Think of it like the World cup, because that's what they're shooting for. And if you want. If you want the game to grow, then stop crying about it. And you wouldn't complain if it were the World Cup. So we shouldn't be complaining because this Bad Bunny at Super bowl next year.

[Dan Beyer]

They'Re going with the Wiggles because they're taking over Australia.

[Covino]

Yeah, man. Absolutely.

[Dan Beyer]

The can't wait Riches Niners gonna be in Australia.

[Rich]

My only thought.

[Covino]

My only thought that men at work next year.

[Rich]

The only time at work, the only time where I'm like, oh, they blew. When you saw Ricky Martin, it's like, yo, if he did 30 seconds of she bangs or living la vida loca. Kavino's right. Maybe you would have made.

[Covino]

Could never outshine the bride, right? So you can't have Ricky Martin living la vida loca, doing his little leg kicks and everything, stealing the show.

[Rich]

Even if Gaga went into, like, abracadabra for like 20 seconds, just something to, like Bad Bunny.

[Covino]

He's the. And here's the other thing. You can't debate it. And here's why. He was the number one streaming artist on Spotify and everywhere, all over the world, okay? International superstar. How could you hate on that? The NFL went as big time as they possibly could. So congrats on that. Now, do I expect everybody to have enjoyed It. No, because I, I understand everyone speaks Spanish, but I do recognize this, that he represented all cultures. I thought that was kind of cool because he didn't just represent Puerto Rico. Right. It was all Latin countries. You had all sorts of different representation. He had Cardi B. There for the Dominicans, he had Pedro Pascal for the Chileans, Jessica Alba for the Mexicans, Alex Earl for the Whiteies. You had Lady Gaga. You had Ronald Acuna Jr. And I.

[Rich]

Think a lot of people realize this.

[Covino]

Braves Venezuelan baseball player out there at the halftime show, you know how they.

[Rich]

Had people dressed up as the plants on the field, as the, the sugar cane.

[Covino]

Right.

[Rich]

People. Dan Buyer was one of them. Yeah. He made 18 an hour was on the field.

[Covino]

The fun fact is they made 1870 an hour. Right, Danny?

[Dan Beyer]

And they worked a thousand hours total.

[Covino]

No, like 70 hours, wasn't it?

[Rich]

They made like a thousand to get on the field. So he had to do what he had to do.

[Covino]

So, yeah.

[Rich]

Dan Buyer was sugar cane stalk number five.

[Dan Beyer]

They practiced for two weeks.

[Covino]

Covino, I will say this too, you know, speaking of things being represented, you know, all the little subtleties, I think that there was a lot of prideful moments for Hispanic people and Puerto Ricans and little kids sleeping on the chair and how in Hispanic cultures people party late into the night and the little kids are sleeping there at the party on the chairs and all the little things that he did. But I really love that he even acknowledged the Mexican Puerto Rican boxing rivalries. Like, I don't know if you guys saw it, but Xander Zayas was there representing Puerto Rico boxing. Emiliano Vargas.

[Rich]

I don't think anyone know those are two people you mentioned. But that's cool.

[Covino]

Fernando Vargas, his son. So Mexican fighter versus Puerto Rican fighter. Again, it's just part of the culture you have.

[Rich]

The people got married. There was a couple that genuinely got married. But I will say yesterday paid for my wedding. Yesterday was a. Also a master class in how dumb we are for believing social media. Because do you know how many people are like, you know that little kid Bad Bunny handed his Grammy to? That was the five year old kid that was detained by ice, everybody. And that went wild. Everyone on social media was spreading this rumor around and it was completely false. It was a little actor. So just. It was a master class in showing how quickly a false rumor could spread. Because within minutes everyone thought that.

[Covino]

And by the way, for the record, but would I have preferred Metallica 100%. They're from San Francisco, they're getting older, their windows closing. They Deserve it. But man, you can't get big. Bigger than Bad Bunny internationally.

[Rich]

Well, let's.

[Covino]

I liked it.

[Rich]

I liked it. Let's do a couple calls after we go to Isaac Loincron for a minute.

[Covino]

Hey, Isaac. Ilo.

[Rich]

What's up, man?

[Isaac Loincron]

Fellas, let's start at the Winter Olympics. The US women's hockey team is now 30 thanks to a 5 nothing victory over Switz. While the US curling mixed doubles duo of Cory Dropkin and Corey TC defeated Italy today, 98 to advance to the gold medal match against Sweden. And guys, here is how their clinching slide sounded.

[Covino]

Girl.

[Rich]

Girl.

[Covino]

Clean. Clean is the word you want to hear. Clean. Yup. Oh, TC to a T for Team usa. Wow.

[Rich]

And that's our tyrack play of the day. No shit.

[Isaac Loincron]

Never thought that curling on the radio could sound so interesting. Anyway, in the NFL, the Super bowl champion Seahawks landed back in Seattle about half an hour ago, minus Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker and winning quarterback Sam Darnold, who are presently at Disneyland. And based on a video of them riding the teacups together, trying extremely hard to make it seem like they actually want to be there, I think you.

[Rich]

Can say they missed the fun. Like, well, they had Anthony Ann's when they were born.

[Isaac Loincron]

You could just tell they're fighting the good fight. But they would rather be back in Seattle with their teammates. They will be back there on Wednesday because the Seahawks announced that's when they're going to hold their championship celebration, beginning with a rally at Lumen Field and then a parade through downtown Seattle. No word yet on whether the festivities will include Fox Sports Radio Seahawks aficionado Dan Beyer rappelling down the Space Needle wearing nothing but a navy and lime green Speedo.

[Covino]

It's 90 minutes of fun in the. Then you're done.

[Isaac Loincron]

Can't wait for Wednesday. Back to you guys.

[Rich]

Thank you, Isaac.

[Covino]

Very happy for our very own Dan Byer, Seahawks fan. Our pals like Wes in Vegas, who roots hard for the Seahawks. Congrats to all the Seahawks fans. By the way, if you're a Seahawks fan, I understand you loved every second of it.

[Rich]

Of course. I mean, I love.

[Covino]

So congrats.

[Rich]

I love Super Bowls. When I was a little kid when the Niners dominated, of course, but everyone else, like, boring.

[Covino]

And congrats to Darnold and Walker and. And Jason Myers, like we said. Now back to your phone calls at 87799 on Fox.

[Rich]

Phones are all lit, so let's take one now. We'll take the rest next. Let's who's been holding the longest? Danny?

[Dan Beyer]

That would be Justin in Pittsburgh.

[Rich]

What's up, Justin? How are you, buddy?

[Caller/Listener]

You guys love the show.

[Rich]

Thanks, man.

[Caller/Listener]

To check in and say, hey, after hearing Howard Coward swipes your guys's Mendoza interview. Yeah, that just reaffirms how, like, I just can't stand his elitist attitude.

[Rich]

We love Colin. But you know what? I'll tell you this, though. I think we should. We should. Look, we should be really sad about it. Be like, well, Colin, then you have to, like, hand off Tom Brady to us once because we always.

[Covino]

Let's make this clear, because I don't want any sort of controversy.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, I think Stu guts cleared it all up.

[Rich]

They took up arms for you.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Well, on blast over, you know, I understand that doesn't mean we have to like it, but I completely understand. I get it. It's why it happened. Exactly.

[Rich]

He's the bigger fish.

[Covino]

Yeah. So, I mean, we'd be so fake to pretend like we were cool with that. And. But at the same time, are we mad at Colin? No, Totally understand. Just.

[Dan Beyer]

How about the producer of his show who stole the.

[Covino]

Yeah, well, after him. Yeah, after that guy, you still got.

[Rich]

A picture with him.

[Covino]

And that's very truthful and very honest. And. And look, I don't want any cowherd heat. And I mean that because honestly, we wouldn't have gotten this. No, I. I think.

[Dan Beyer]

I think you guys did pretty good on Friday on Radio Road.

[Covino]

Listen, we got the nod from Cal Herd, and that's partially why we even got an opportunity here at Fox Sports Radio. He vouched for us, and I'm always grateful for that. But that doesn't mean I have to be happy about losing that guest, because we were super pumped about it.

[Dan Beyer]

And does this mean you guys can be poached from from now on? Because one Stu got thought at the end of their conversation about it was they should have stole Jackson dart away from you if they knew you guys were a fair game to steal interviews from.

[Covino]

Two side notes. I got to listen back to what Stu got said about us, and so should you. It was second hour of his show today. He broke it down. But it was also really cool to share the stage and hang with Stu. Got super bowl and Colin. We went to Colin's party. It was great.

[Rich]

By the way, Colin did comment about swiping Fernando. I don't know if you heard this. Cavito and Rich. Look, I'm sorry I had to come in and take Fernando, but stars attract stars. The big Dogs want to eat with other big dogs, not Gavino and Rich. It's the heart. Sorry. There you go.

[Covino]

Thank you, thank you, Colin and thank you, Joey Molinaro and thank you, Fox Sports Radio Nation. We're gonna wrap up things that made you go hmm, super bowl edition with your phone calls. Hang tight and your feedback next.

[Covino]

I love the choreography and the visual aspect, like the artistry and the messages that were made. I thought it was a cool halftime show. I really did. I thought it was cool. I liked it. I didn't love it. I liked it.

[Isaac Loincron]

Liked it. I liked it.

[Covino]

Cavino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich]

What's fascinating is if you've ever been lucky enough to go to a Super bowl, watching them bring the set on and take it off within that little time frame, it's amazing how they. By the way, they're well oiled machines.

[Covino]

A lot of feedback from people at the game that the halftime show was visually ass. It was buns.

[Rich]

Because if you were. Unless you were up high, you just saw nothing.

[Covino]

You saw nothing but sugar cane people.

[Rich]

But on camera.

[Covino]

But on camera, like this show was more design for our visual pleasures at home. And we're live from Fox Sports Radio studios. Time for our tire act play of the day. We all rejoiced when we finally got to see a touchdown last night.

[Rich]

Alani in the backfield now. Play fake to him. Sam stops, looks, throws. Got a man wide open. Touchdown Seahawks.

[Covino]

It is A.J. barter.

[Rich]

He could not wait to get out of that hotel. Talked to him yesterday, he said, I gotta go hit somebody. AJ how about catching a touchdown too? That was courtesy of Seahawks Radio Network. That was our tire rack play of the day. And for over 40 years, our good friends at Tire Rack have been helping customers find the right tires for how.

[Covino]

What and where they drive ship fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tirerack.com, the way tire buying should be. I heard when that touchdown happened, Dan Byer went into a mean robot dance. Yeah. He just lost short circles.

[Rich]

Was there a part of you in the third quarter, guys, where when a game's low scoring and boring like that, then you start rooting for that?

[Covino]

Yes.

[Rich]

Like there comes a point where you're like, you know, now I don't want to see a touchdown.

[Dan Beyer]

That's funny. Brenda said, I hope it stays zero because no super bowl team had ever been shut out.

[Rich]

Yeah. So at one point.

[Dan Beyer]

So it would have been history in the other direction.

[Rich]

I was rooting for all field goals. I was like, you know, it would be wild, like 18. Nothing for the story goals just for the story. When it's already like, meh, boring. Then you're like, all right, what can we see that we've never seen before? A shutout. Only field goals. Like there's never been a Super bowl where there's not been a touchdown scored either. Didn't we, didn't someone look that up yesterday? They did, yeah. Yeah.

[Covino]

Let me tell you, I was Sam's little football socks that he was wearing at your party. Oh, you noticed those were more exciting than the first half of that game.

[Dan Beyer]

Wow.

[Covino]

Yeah, I was more excited seeing Sam in his little festive socks.

[Rich]

You were very observant.

[Covino]

Yeah, I did notice that, Sam. See, I'm that kind of guy.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

So, anyway, it was fun partying, and we hope you guys enjoyed it. We're gonna wrap it up with your feedback. We promise. Everybody on hold. Hang tight. Everybody on the live chat. Keep chiming in. Who do we got from now?

[Rich]

Let's say hi to Russell in Las Vegas. What's up, Russ?

[Caller/Listener]

How's it going, guys?

[Covino]

What's up, bro?

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, man, I missed you the last time you were in Vegas, man. I apologize. I was out of town, out of the country.

[Covino]

Ah, it's all right.

[Caller/Listener]

The next time. Next time you guys come into town, I'll get the beers for you.

[Rich]

Yeah, you know what? I'm holding you to it.

[Isaac Loincron]

Russ.

[Rich]

What's up, man? What's up?

[Caller/Listener]
