Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Raiders Bad Beat: Gambling Fallout & Conspiracies

Segment Start: [10:31]

• Breakdown of the wild finish:
  Rich and Covino, joined by Tripp (Vegas insider) and Dan Beyer, dissect the highly questionable sequence at the end of the Raiders game, where a seemingly meaningless field goal "bad beat" unraveled betting spreads and over/unders.
• Impact on bettors:
  Covino notes the double whammy: “The Raiders going for a meaningless field goal affected... the point spread AND the over/under. It was a double bad beat. If you had like a parlay, it affected both.” [12:19]
• Conspiracy Theories:
  • Tripp and the crew muse about “Vegas wins,” odd play-calling, and possible intent behind the field goal.
  • Dan Beyer jokes, “I think that Pete Carroll did it to make sure all the Broncos fans in attendance did not hit their bets.” [14:01]
• Portnoy's Rant:
  The team recalls Barstool's Dave Portnoy's viral rant, calling for "prison for Pete Carroll" (the Seahawks), reflecting widespread bettors’ outrage.
  • “At one point he said... he was going to go murder him... [He] was saying it was the worst criminal, they should be in prison.” [12:55]

Memorable Quote:

“It almost felt like one of those situations where you’re hoping for something to happen... and then somehow, something wild happens.” – Steve Covino [13:06]

2. Athlete Social Media & Sliding into DMs

Segment Start: [07:46]

• The crew skewers the neverending “sliding into DMs” culture among athletes, using the (denied) rumor of NFL QB Jackson Dart messaging influencer Alex Earl.
• Covino summarizes: “If you don’t think these players are shooting their shot, yo, I promise… as much as they put in... gameplay, it’s scrolling and DMing and copying and pasting their little opening line.” [10:06]
• Rich adds: “They don’t get stock options, they get ass options.” [08:35]

3. Travis Kelce and LeBron James: Who’s More Likely to Retire?

Segment Start: [34:24]
Major Segment

• Retirement Chatter: Following Henry Cejudo’s actual UFC retirement, Covino and Rich debate which icon is more likely to hang it up next: Chiefs TE Travis Kelce or Lakers’ LeBron James.
• Arguments For/Against:
  • Kelce:
    • Priorities changing (broadcasting, “bride-to-be” Taylor Swift)
    • Stephen A. Smith fuels speculation
    • Rich: “I think if anyone’s going to retire, it’s Kelsey.”
  • LeBron:
    • Lakers are hot, but would he bow out on “magic number” 23rd season IF they won?
    • Covino: “LeBron’s proven it all… If there’s no path to a championship… he could walk away.”
• Dan Beyer weighs in:
  “I think Kelsey, I think it’s at the end of the rope. And I think that LeBron, even with the Lakers success this season... wants that farewell tour.” [38:17]
• Result: Panel is split, but consensus leans toward Kelce as the more likely retiree.

Memorable Quotes:

“He’s got a top 25 podcast, 13 million… They’re getting married and then I bet you, within a year… they’re gonna have a kid. And I bet you that he runs it back one more time after the career he’s had.” – Steve Covino (on Kelce) [36:45]

“We ain’t going out like that. I think that gives him more reason to be like, 'It’s over… This run is over.'” – Rich Davis [37:21]

---

4. Combat Sports & “Robbery” Talk

Segment Start: [15:29]

• UFC recap, including Cejudo’s retirement and the overuse of “robbery” to describe close fights.
• Rich: “If it’s a close fight, you can’t say you were robbed… It could go either way. That means a lot of swing rounds. It was a clear draw.” [16:58]

---

5. Pop Culture: Zootopia 2, AI Movies, and Viral Content

Segment Start: [04:24] & [17:44]

• Covino raves about family movie “Zootopia 2” making $1b worldwide, and the guys debate whether AI-generated films (like the viral ‘Little Mac Punch-Out’ trailer) cross ethical boundaries or are just the next evolution after Pixar.
• “We don’t want AI taking our jobs, but we both really want to see this… So, what’s your thought?” – Covino [20:34]

---

6. NFL Playoff Format: One Bye or Two?

Segment Start: [30:14]

• Crew revisits NFL’s move to a single top-seed bye, disagreeing whether fewer byes improves the playoffs.
• “I like the old way... There was something cool about the two elite teams in each conference had a bye.” – Dan Beyer [30:47]
• But more football = more fun.

  • Bills at Patriots: Are the Patriots for real?

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Athlete DMs:

[Rich Davis]

Hope you had a great weekend. Let's have a great week. Hey, Rich, I was thinking of this. I thought it was a cool catchphrase. Let's make it a December to remember.

[Steve Covino]

You came up with that?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Good for that. It's awesome, bud.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I like that.

[Steve Covino]

Over the weekend, let me give you three quick things and we're going to wrap up all the things that made you go. Tripp's got a great segue into the next conversation. It has to do with bad beats and gambling, but hang tight. Tripp, our number one pal.

[Rich Davis]

Is it that questionable play call at the Raiders game?

[Steve Covino]

My goodness, I saw that. So, question. Do you want me to. I have three things. Something about Dan Buyer, something about Booty, and something about living the dad life. What do you want? You pick your order.

[Rich Davis]

I wanted to talk Henry Cejudo, but you shut that down last hour, so it's all good.

[Steve Covino]

Who wants to talk about.

[Rich Davis]

We can talk about your dad life if you want. Talk about your Nike Monarchs all day if you want.

[Steve Covino]

Not wearing Nike Monarchs. You talk about it. I just want to let you know things that make you go, hmm. Is it only about football like you said? Zootopia 2. Fantastic. If you need a movie to watch with the kids, sure.

[Rich Davis]

That takes precedence over UFC 323.

[Steve Covino]

No one watched it. No one. Who?

Nerdy bad friends. Billion dollars for this movie. Zootopia tuba. You tell me about Henry Cejudo. A billion effing dollars.

[Rich Davis]

Well, I wasn't gonna say just that. I wasn't to tell you that there was some good fights over the weekend, some good UFC bouts.

[Steve Covino]

Danbire, take a good box. Take your kid to go see Zootopia 2. Both take your kids. Zootopia 2. It's fantastic.

[Rich Davis]

Take it to the zoo.

[Steve Covino]

It's so good. Zootopia.

[Rich Davis]

I'm sure it is. All right.

[Steve Covino]

My thing about Dan Byer.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

I went out with one of the other dads from baseball and his kid. And a couple of our families went out for Hibachi. And it made me realize Teppanyaki. Right? Made me realize that it's gotta happen soon. DB in the next month. I know you're a busy guy. You're a dad, you're a professional.

[Rich Davis]

You gotta tell your wife we're dragging you out.

[Steve Covino]

Honestly. Bring your wife. Buyer has never been to Teyaki.

[Rich Davis]

Someone's got to watch the kid.

[Steve Covino]

That's why I said, but bring the kid. You want him to go 30, 40 something years without going?

[Rich Davis]

I want Dan to appreciate the. The volcano, the onion volcano. Without his kid.

[Steve Covino]

I would appreciate it too.

[Dan Beyer]

You know, wants to get together and maybe cuss a little around the table.

[Steve Covino]

Right? Guys night.

[Rich Davis]

No kissing ass.

[Dan Beyer]

You know, none of that.

[Steve Covino]

But you know what? I. I went and I realized that while it is overpriced, while when you get like, I got the scallops and steak and it's like 50, 60 bucks, it's overpriced. The kids menu sandwich at the airport's overpriced. It doesn't stop you talking about. What I'm saying is, if you need a fun night out, I really do think like hibachi again. Arirang. What's the other ones called? Give me like the Yamato. Yamato.

[Rich Davis]

Is that it?

[Steve Covino]

The one by us is Benihana. Benihana. The one by S is called Ari Rangi. Arirang. Yeah. So it just honestly always fantastic. And I thought of Dan Byer because Dan's never been.

[Rich Davis]

We told you we should make it a win. A Dan Beyer experience. Like one lucky winner gets to go to Hibachi with all of us. And then we watch Rocky afterward because he's never seen Rocky.

[Steve Covino]

So it's a whole match.

[Dan Beyer]

Rocky 3 and Rocky 4.

[Steve Covino]

All right, so Rocky and Hibachi. Sounds like a perfect date. And my last thought was absolutely Jackson Dart. We've already talked about how we love how this kid plays. He's a fun young stud in the NFL.

[Rich Davis]

I love his Mel Gibson haircut. Too reckless.

[Steve Covino]

Yes. Fun when he butts heads with camscatter. Boo. Yes. But I thought there was something else even cooler about him. Like, man, this guy's relentless with the booty. But apparently it's not true. Alex Earl, hot influencer. And she was on Dance with the Stars. Hot blondie who is with Braxton Barrios. Former. Is he playing? That is. Is Barrios even playing?

[Dan Beyer]

I don't know.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, he's like one of those. Is he on a roster? But Braxton Barrios, I remember as a Jet, right? He was a Jet for a second. Super cool, handsome dude. But they broke up, and the rumor was that Jackson Dart immediately slid into her dms.

[Rich Davis]

And I was like, she denied it, though.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, she denied it. I was like, had that a boy.

[Rich Davis]

But apparently she who denied it, supplied it.

[Steve Covino]

So, yeah, she's saying that's not true. It was fake screenshots. But there was the rumor that Jackson Dart got word of this and immediately was like, yo, you single now, she.

[Rich Davis]

Alluded to the fact, too, though, that even if it were true, she wouldn't tell anybody. So she keeps it big and discreet.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

So I wouldn't blame him one bit. He's a young quarterback in the NFL for the New York Football Giants. You don't think he's trying to kick it to every hot chick out there on IG or whoever? A prominent figure.

[Dan Beyer]

Absolutely.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

I was gonna say.

[Rich Davis]

Why shouldn't he?

[Steve Covino]

I was gonna say, no crime in that. Not. Not to, you know, not to sound eye rolly, but who should get any if that's the type of girl he wants? If who should get the hot Instagram girl, the hot model? I don't know, maybe like the cool young quarterback of a football team in the NFL. I mean, so I just thought it was. I thought it was wild. The Jackson Darts. Not true, but would have been cool.

[Rich Davis]

I think Kelsey reminded everybody. Even though these guys aren't hurting when it comes to bank accounts and ass options, they don't get stock options. They get ass off.

[Steve Covino]

I heard that. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

But I think it did remind some people to shoot their shot wherever.

I think when Josh Allen, Kelsey Dart.

[Steve Covino]

When Kelsey did that interview with Taylor and she tells the story about how he kicked it, I'll be honest, that was the most endearing they've been together.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, that was kind of cool where.

[Steve Covino]

Like, he didn't even think he had to ask security. He's like, yeah, I want to meet.

[Rich Davis]

Her, but.

My girlfriend is friends with a lot of IG models and hot chicks. Like, that and when they start boozing and schmoozing in my presence, let's say the girls are at my house or something. I'll hear.

[Steve Covino]

Is that when you walk out of the shower and drop your towel, I'm.

[Rich Davis]

Like, oh, sorry, I didn't know anyone was here. No, but there's some, you know, prominent girls she's friends with.

[Steve Covino]

Like, you hear them, like, guess who slide into my DMs.

[Rich Davis]

Exactly. And they're big time names.

[Steve Covino]

And I'm like, no way. Let me tell you this, like, isn't.

[Rich Davis]

That guy in a relationship?

[Steve Covino]

When we worked. But that's just part of it. When we worked at espn, we worked with a couple really talented and beautiful female sports broadcasters.

[Rich Davis]

And they were, I'm talking a list, athlete, celebrity names.

[Steve Covino]

When we were at espn, I remember a couple of the talented, beautiful women who we worked with were like, yeah, he slid in my DMs. He slid in my DMs. He slid in my DM. So if you don't think these players are shooting their shot, yo, I promise.

[Rich Davis]

You probably like a part time job, you know, as much as they put in as far as gameplay and studying and getting ready and film, it's scrolling and DMing and copying and pasting their little opening line to every hot chick they see, especially if they're single.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, you want to come to my game, girl? Copy paste.

[Rich Davis]

And it's like a matter of let's see who takes the bait. It's like casting a wide net.

[Steve Covino]

Got to cast a net. All right, let's. Let's wrap up our things that made you go with maybe one of the most questionable things of the weekend, trip in Vegas. Since you are a Vegas guy, Trip and our good pal.

[Rich Davis]

And by the way, can you give.

[Steve Covino]

Us the quick breakdown of the Vegas gambling effect that this Raiders call had? Yeah. So I'm sitting at the gaming. I'm literally at the game. So fourth down and four, they run this crazy play. Just give up the ball. So now the Raiders have it. Of course, the line is seven and a half and 40 and a half. The score at this point is 24, 10, 20. Excuse me. They kicked the field goal. It was 24 14. It doesn't matter. Yeah, it's three points. So it's a 10 point. So they run a play. Run a play. Of course, Kenny Pickerson run to spike the ball and then kick, spike it with 1 second left and kick a field goal.

[Rich Davis]

Field goal with what? Like was it three seconds or something?

[Steve Covino]

And yeah, Tripp wasn't there a penalty? Because the guy was like leaning on the guy that they gave him like.

[Dan Beyer]

The down right offensive delay of game.

[Steve Covino]

But here's another thing that happened in the Cleveland game. Think about this. The score was 24 to 10 and with, you know, in the last few minutes, Cleveland punted From the Raiders 29 yard line instead of kicking a field goal. And the total in that game was 36 and a half.

[Rich Davis]

So everybody's like, hey man, Vegas wins, dude.

[Steve Covino]

No, but, but, but he's saying is that even though, even even though you're up a couple scores, you would traditionally still go for a field goal from the 29. So that was peculiar. And then in the Raiders, and I'm never the guy that's a conspiracy and I'm still not.

[Rich Davis]

But, but that talk today is that should investigate because it was too suspect.

[Steve Covino]

The Raiders going for a meaningless field goal affected Camino, the point spread and the over under. Like it wasn't like it was a double bad beat. If you had like a parlay, it affected both. And where was the game in Vegas. Yeah, I was Sam.

[Rich Davis]

So fishy. Something's fishy.

[Steve Covino]

Give the Portnoy rant. Or is it too X rated? We, we. We do not have a edited version of that. Yeah, take a chance. I'm kidding.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I didn't see it. So give me like Portnoy is.

[Steve Covino]

At one point, at one point he was said. I think he was in. He was going to go beat up Pete Carroll.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, worse.

[Steve Covino]

I think he said he was going to go murder him. But no, but he, he's saying it was the worst criminal. They should be in prison.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, you were sitting pretty. It didn't seem like that was going to happen and they went for it anyway.

[Steve Covino]

It almost felt like one of those situations where we've all been there where you're hoping for something to happen and you're like, my team just got the ball back and they're winning and there's 50 seconds left. No one's going to score a point. And then somehow something wild happens that happened. It was there. There was probably someone on the winning end of that that was crying. And then, you know, think about it. For everyone that loses, someone else wins.

[Rich Davis]

I can play the very, very end.

[Steve Covino]

Of this where he calls for jail time for Pete Carroll. Oh, let's hear it.

[Rich Davis]

Prison for Pete Carroll.

[Steve Covino]

And that's it. Let me tell you.

[Rich Davis]

Prison.

[Steve Covino]

I love, I love Portnoy's passion. I'm a big barstool fan and I thought that.

Short of going to kill Pete Carroll, I think everything he said was. Had some validity to it. It's very, very strange. Very strange. Db, any thoughts on this? I knew you were monitoring all the games yesterday.

[Dan Beyer]

I we put it up on Fox Sports Radio Twitter page as well. I did about three minutes with Kerry Rhodes and I think that Pete Carroll did it to make sure all the Broncos fans in attendance did not hit their bets. That's why, like there, you could see tons of orange in Allegiant Stadium yesterday and the Broncos recovering. And in the end, they didn't. They had just as much reason to throw up a Hail Mary at that point.

[Rich Davis]

So you genuinely think all the international fans that love a good field goal.

[Dan Beyer]

Or to prove Trump wrong, I think it was his only win.

[Steve Covino]

You think it was, you think it was to upset Broncos fans in a weird way?

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, because I'm sure he said that a bunch of Broncos fans probably made the trip came. I mean, it was. There were orange everywhere in the standing. Maybe not like in la, but it stands out. It was significant. They were winning by 10.

[Steve Covino]

There is a sentiment. Dan's right. There's a sentiment that when you go to a game, I bet you there's stats out there that show that if you are a fan that goes to travel to a game, you also maybe bet a couple bucks on your team.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, absolutely. That's why I think that he did it.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I agree.

[Dan Beyer]

That's why I think he did it. To stick it to at least the Broncos fans that were in attendance. You may not beat the Broncos, but you can at least stick it to their fans.

[Rich Davis]

I respect that.

[Steve Covino]

How wild was that? Well, thank you, D.B. and thank you, Tris.

[Rich Davis]

Thanks for the call. Appreciate all the phone calls. 87799 on Fox.

[Steve Covino]

Any other final thoughts?

[Rich Davis]

I mean, things that made you go, hmm, other. Other than the only thing that made me go home in a fight World Dwell is Schwili beat Yan and UFC in a five round battle for the main event, bantamweight event. But in the world of boxing, that's where I was tuned in most. I just think there's an overuse of the term robbery. And I've said it here, but I say it when I mean it. I really don't use or abuse that word. Right. There's a lot of overused terms in sports and social media just to get your attention. Robbery, man, outrage and all these buzz terms. I think the referees got it right for once. It was a draw. It's just, you know, that's Not a sexy thing. But the Lamont Roach and Pitbull Cruise fight was a draw. Lamont Roach went down for the first time in his career. Pit bull Cruise sucked the last half of the fight, so it was a draw. But if you read social media and you didn't watch the fight, right, robbery man. Lamont Roach got robbed because it was his second draw. He got robbed against Tank Davis. I agree. But that was also a close fight. If it's a close fight, you can't say you were robbed. Like both things count each other out. You. They don't go together. You can't say it was a close fight, but I was robbed. It's a close fight, then there's no robbery. It could go either way. That means a lot of swing rounds. It was a clear draw. If you watched the fights over the.

[Steve Covino]

Weekend, I'll tell you what, ufc, like.

[Rich Davis]

I said, congrats to Triple C Henry Cejudo on his retirement. We're going to talk about retirement. Not necessarily him, but we have a question about retirement next.

[Steve Covino]

Can I. Can I give you my observation about some fight stuff? Not ufc, not boxing over the weekend.

[Rich Davis]

But not every decision is a robbery, Rich. I just want to make that clear.

[Steve Covino]

No, of course. I would say my biggest takeaway. Not ufc, not actual boxing.

Two non related stories. Number one, Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua's two weeks away. Less than two weeks away. And Anthony Joshua is saying he is going to destroy Jake Paul and anything less will. He'll be disappointed in himself. And he actually, I think he quoted Drago, he's like, I will destroy him.

[Rich Davis]

So.

[Steve Covino]

So Anthony Joshua, if. So, if you're one of those people that hate Jake Paul and the spectacle, I hate to say it, maybe you.

[Rich Davis]

Watch, but if Jake Paul could look good in the loss, he still wins. Because no one expects this guy to win.

[Steve Covino]

Maybe you watch with the intent of Jake Paul getting knocked on his ass or, oh, my goodness, what if somehow Jake Paul hangs? And the other thought I had in the world of boxing was someone on TikTok and Instagram. You sent me this. And when I say you sent me, 50 other people sent this to me too.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, there's a really cool viral video that's gone out today. Yeah, it's from someone called Destorm, I believe. D E S T O R M Destorm on social media.

[Steve Covino]

Have you guys seen. It's a. It's a couple bros hanging, playing Mike Tyson's Punch out. And some guy goes, man, it would be cool if Mack had a backstory. And it Flashes to like an AI yet cool video of what a movie would be like. If, let's say Lil Mack was a dude down on his luck. His girlfriend just had a baby and he was trying to battle. And they make a storyline of Mike.

[Rich Davis]

Tyson's Punch out and he goes through the ranks. Glass Joe Von Kaiser, the whole deal. Don Flamenco.

[Steve Covino]

And they do a great job of. Of creating CGI versions of the fighters, you know, from Punch Out.

[Rich Davis]

And I've seen this done before, but not to this degree. Not this level. It was really well done.

[Steve Covino]

So if you haven't seen it yet, I didn't click on it at first because some. The. The thumbnail should be Punch out, but the thumbnail is just the dude sitting around with video game controllers.

[Rich Davis]

It's an AI, I guess. Fake trailer of what the Little Mac Punch out story would be. As he climbs the ranks and finally gets to Mike Tyson. It's a little Max down on his luck. He has a kid with his wife and he's just trying to fight out of poverty. And he finally gets that title shot. And it's kind of cool to see because then Mike Tyson rolls up.

[Steve Covino]

Is it? By the way, let's go. Isn't it? When you watch that, you got to be honest. Weren't you thinking to yourself, like, I.

[Rich Davis]

Would watch this, I would totally watch that. That's why we're talking about it right now. I said it's a next level AI teaser trailer of a movie that. I don't know, maybe it inspires the actual movie to be made.

[Steve Covino]

Then. Hold on. How do you feel about this? Is an interesting thought.

[Rich Davis]

You know what? I'll put it on our IG story right now. Ovinoenrich so you could play along at home and see it. Definitely worth the watch. Ovinoenrich C O V I N By.

[Steve Covino]

The way, video producer spot. You don't have to play it on the video, but if there's like a screenshot you could show, we're streaming on YouTube. YouTube.com covinoenrichfsr I bring it up because I. I mentioned Zootopia and how it made. Zootopia 2 has made almost $1 billion worldwide. We're cool with animation. We don't want AI taking our jobs. How do you feel about AI in that scenario? Are you okay if they made an AI movie.

Or is that crossing because you know what I'm saying, Like you're okay with animation. We don't want. We don't want AI to take jobs. But we'd both really Want to see this? So what's your thought?

You know, I'm saying like, what he been there?

[Rich Davis]

What do you think Pixar did? You don't think that eliminated the actual artist? No, I'm saying like, so I would say that computers have been taking jobs as far as animated movies. It's sort of an. I don't want to say it's animated, but it. I don't know what you would call.

[Steve Covino]

It's AI.

[Rich Davis]

It's AI.

[Steve Covino]

So it's like it's a weird in between because animation, we accept we don't want AI to take jobs. But I think that's because you could say like, well, why can't you just cast them guys Don Flamenco.

[Rich Davis]

And it's like, yeah, you can't cast that King Hippo. You know, it's really worth the watch. And Butterbeans an old guy. So check it out. We'll post it at Covino and Rich.

[Steve Covino]

At stevecovino on Spotty's playing a little. The video of it in the background on our YouTube page right now. There's Little Mac with his girlfriend. They're having a baby. They're down on their luck. And he goes to the Doc's boxing gym. Yeah. And there he is, Doc with his red zip up.

Training Little Mac. And he, you know, goes through everything. It's pretty cool. Again at Covey Nonreach, we'll put a clip on our Instagram story so you can play along.

Page you know we've I'm sorry we. We've had the playoff situation with that seventh wild card for a handful of years now. Your.

[Rich Davis]

Your.

[Steve Covino]

Your quick temperature. When you take a temperature of NFL fans. Just the one team getting the buy. Do you like that or did you like the old school days where like two teams got the buy? I feel like one team. There's like. It's like an awfully grand reward, but.

[Rich Davis]

I don't even know.

[Steve Covino]

What do you think, DB.

I would say I'm just left you with your mic off. And he went.

[Dan Beyer]

I was waving to him as well as he was walking. I was like this.

[Steve Covino]

Getting Christmas cookies.

[Dan Beyer]

Quitting time.

I like the old way.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. There was something cool about the two elite teams in each conference had a buy and then it sort of led to maybe them reaching the championship together.

[Dan Beyer]

I don't know because I think that. I don't even know if a buy is an advantage or not. But I think that ultimately it is. But it may just be those teams are just better than everyone else. But I like the two team buy. I did.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Well, now we got the wild card Monday. Just more football, I suppose. And no one's going to argue more football.

[Dan Beyer]

But imagine it being a 9 and 4 team would be out of the playoffs right now if it was only the six team.

[Steve Covino]

Right? Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

That'd be crazy.

[Steve Covino]

That's insane. So I mean, I think when the teams that make the postseason are all like good winning teams, I'm okay with it. When. And you know what? The NFL has been lucky there.

[Dan Beyer]

There.

[Steve Covino]

There's no like bunk teams that are the seven seed. Usually the seven seed is a team that's better than one of the division winners. So.

[Dan Beyer]

Absolutely. That's where the Buccaneers and Panthers in the NFC south, like, man.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. That's the next step, right? Re.

[Dan Beyer]

Yep.

[Steve Covino]

Receding. All right. Kavino and Rich. Now you had a hypothetical, Kavino. It had to do with retirement.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. I mean, I'm gonna throw some wrenches because that's what I do. I throw wrenches.

[Steve Covino]

Who are you?

[Rich Davis]

I'm Patches of Hoolahan. That's who I am. Just Todd the Wrench. Even this up a little bit because I think there's an obvious answer. But I'm gonna give you a little caveat, a little wrench narrator to make it a little more fair. Now, the reason I kept bringing up Triple C Henry Cejudo, who's been nothing but kind to us. Triple Cringe.

A multi champion in the UFC and a gold medal winner. Let me just give you his credentials real quick.

[Steve Covino]

Rich. And you're right. He was always very kind to me. So.

[Rich Davis]

Fourth fighter ever to hold two titles simultaneously. Olympic gold medalist UFC bantamweight champ, UFC flyweight champ, holds wins over Demetrius Johnson. Cruz Dillashaw. Stellar career came to an end this weekend, as he said to Dana White. And just by the look of his face, he got his ass kicked in his last fight with Talbot. So he fought bantamweight over the weekend, UFC 323, and he lost the last few of his fights pretty bad. So he's done, right? He should have never took time off. He retired, came back, was never the same fighter. Because Father Time's undefeated.

[Steve Covino]

Isn't that what fighters do? They say they're gonna retire and then they hope he gets him a little more money, and then they go, they come back.

[Rich Davis]

But you know what? He already did his thing, except on his comeback. He just didn't have that gas anymore, I guess. Got to him.

[Steve Covino]

I feel like there's more fake retirements in boxing and UFC than actually in wrestling. Remember, back in the day, there would always be, like, retirements and fake retirements. No, that's true.

[Rich Davis]

So congrats on a sweet career in the ufc.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Vatos locals forever. Henry Cejudo. But based on that thought, there's two other superstars in football and basketball that are toying around with the retirement idea. Let's talk football first, because Stephen A. Went on this rant today saying, I think Kelsey's going to retire after this season. No big stretch, because I believe it, too. I was surprised. Came back this season and now they're what, six, seven? And they're out of it. What more to play for? The guy's done it all. You think he's going to come back for, like, the rebuilding of a Chiefs organization? The guy's on his way out. No one wants to be a detriment to their team either. And I'm not saying he is, but if they're going to look younger and build and Mahomes needs some good receivers, young receivers. I don't know if Kelsey's in the mix. His priorities are different. He already has a career in broadcasting. He has a bride to be, you know, like, the future is bright for him elsewhere.

[Steve Covino]

Hit me with option number two.

[Rich Davis]

So Kelsey again, Stephen A. Talking about it today, and it's gone viral. Then the other one is LeBron, but hear me out, because people are saying he's got, like, one more year left. LeBron. It's season 23. That's his magic number, right? 23rd season. Let's say, and I would never wish this upon anybody, but I think teams like OKC would be in their way.

[Dan Beyer]

Right?

[Steve Covino]

You mean they're the 23 and one OKC.

[Rich Davis]

But let's say.

[Steve Covino]

Let's say.

[Rich Davis]

And I would never wish this, Rich. I would never, ever wish this. But.

[Steve Covino]

But this is sports.

[Rich Davis]

Let's say someone on OKC gets hurt not wishing it on anybody. I'm knocking wood, in fact. Right?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

That opens up the lane even more for a Lakers team. Who's hot? They're playing good. They got young, they got veterans, they got old, they got everything.

[Steve Covino]

Can't disagree, right?

[Rich Davis]

Let's say the Lakers win and it's his 23rd season. Magic number, last win, last hurrah. You don't think he retires? My question is, who's more likely to retire a la Cejudo style after this season, Kelsey or LeBron? If they win, I have an obvious. I think LeBron's going to still play one more year.

[Steve Covino]

I think the answer is obvious.

[Rich Davis]

Kelsey.

[Steve Covino]

No.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, really?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. What? I thought for sure you would say, and I'll explain.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe it's not as obvious as I. Maybe we don't need that wrench of Lakers winning.

[Steve Covino]

Then I think LeBron's proven it all okay. And if there's no path to a championship and there's teams that are in his way, like you said, the Lakers are a top. I would say three to five team in the NBA. The Lakers look good. It's fun to watch the Lakers.

[Rich Davis]

Dude, Reeves putting up crazy numbers. They're comparing him to stat wise to Kobe Bryant now saying they've already used the word superstar to describe Austin Reeves.

[Steve Covino]

Exactly. They've already sort of moved past LeBron being the centerpiece. That's Luca now. Yeah, but.

[Rich Davis]

But a major piece still.

[Steve Covino]

You know, Austin Reeves. And they may go after another big star if LeBron were to walk away. I think Travis. Kelsey, I look at it this way. You know, when you have a lot in the future, I know recently you were like, in your mind, you're like, dude, I got my daughter sweet 16. Then I got this. And when you have all these things on the horizon, right. You try to cram things in and you don't. My point is this. He's getting married June 13th. They made the announcement. Him and Taylor Swift, June 13th.

[Rich Davis]

He's got a top 25 podcast.

[Steve Covino]

13 million 13 here. Her little lucky number. Symbolic. So they're getting married and then I bet you within a year because, you know, they're at the age they have Every resource possible. They're going to have a kid. And I betcha that he runs it back one more time after the career he's had. I don't think you go out the one time you don't make the playoffs. I feel like it's like, it's like, like Tom Brady wouldn't want to go away. Remember Tom Brady, the last interception he threw for the Patriots. You're not going to go out like that.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you. He's not in Cypress Hill. He's on the Chiefs.

[Steve Covino]

I'm not going out like that.

[Rich Davis]

We ain't going out like that. We ain't going out. I think that that gives him more reason to be like.

It'S over. Like this run is over.

[Steve Covino]

He has a very bright post football career, but it's almost like once you stop, you're never going to go back. Right. So if he has any desire to play one more time, where I think LeBron could, with all good conscience. I played with my son. I've won on three different teams.

That's a good question. Your thoughts at 87799 on Fox.

[Rich Davis]

Well, you and I, I thought it was obvious, and you and I completely disagree. I think if anyone's going to retire, it's Kelsey. And I think LeBron's got like one more year because when he announced it, already taken in that farewell tour, I'm.

[Steve Covino]

Looking at it from another angle. I'm. You're saying who's going to retire? I'm saying who may. Who would want to run it back more? And I think LeBron doesn't need to. Kelsey would not want to go out like this. Dan Beyer, what say you? And let's get an update, man. What's up?

[Dan Beyer]

I'm not breaking a tie, but I am siding with Cavino. I think Kelsey, I think it's at the end of the rope. Yes. And I think that LeBron, even with the Lakers success this season, which has mostly been without him, that he wants that farewell tour that Cavino mentioned. And I still think that there's an opportunity he would go and play elsewhere next year to try to do it on his own terms.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

With LeBron. Don't you think if it was his and we would know it? I think so.

[Dan Beyer]

So, yes.

[Steve Covino]

I don't know.

[Rich Davis]

That's my take your thoughts. 87799 on Fox. We'll take your phone calls, but DB, what's up?

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, guys, couple of things waiting on the Heisman Trophy finalists. More news from college football as the ACC has responded to Notre Dame AD's Pete Bavacqua's comments that he made earlier today on the Dan Patrick Show. Bavacqua called the relationship now between the ACC and Notre Dame as permanently damaged. Jim Phillips, the ACC commissioner, released a statement saying, when it comes to football, we have a responsibility to support and Advocate for all 17 of our football playing member institutions and that he stands behind the conference's efforts to do just that leading up to the committee selections on Sunday. Notre Dame not happy with the ACC network playing Miami's win over Notre Dame. Also, social media pushes as well, but ACC commissioner Jim Phillips standing by his conference every goal starts with an assist on and off the field. That's why Halion and U.S. soccer are launching for the assist, a celebration of everyday acts of support that help people achieve their goals with iconic brands like Sensodyne, Tums, Voltaren, Advil and Centrum. To learn more, go to halionassist.com Colts quarterback Daniel Jones going to miss the rest of the season with a torn Achilles. Kevin Stefanski says Shador Sanders will be the Brown starter for the rest of the year. Bengals put wide receiver T. Higgins in concussion protocol. Also, defensive end Trey Hendrickson out with core muscle surgery and the team released wide receiver Jermaine Burton. Commanders tight end Zach Ertz done for the season with a torn ACL. The NFL flexed Week 16's matchup between the Patriots and Ravens to Sunday Night Football. Dolphins and Bengals will move to 1:00 Eastern, and tonight it's the Eagles and Chargers. Chargers running back Omarion Hampton has been activated. He will play tonight against Philly.

[Steve Covino]

Guys, back to you db now. So it wouldn't be like Kavino and Rich if we didn't look ahead. So a little schedule watching. Next as we continue to talk about the NFL, we're getting into Week 15 in a few days. I know we're still wrapping up Monday Night Football tonight, but I have a couple things I want to get to for next week. And that's all next right here.

The rules of the holiday party on Covino and rich. Over promised episode 120 which is on our YouTube page where we're streaming live right now. Live chat and everything. Covino and rich again.

[Steve Covino]

YouTube.com roach FSR just it's, it's free. Do it, have fun with it.

And you know, Interestingly enough, as 2025 comes to an end and you start seeing all these lists and recaps and all this nonsense.

I listen, we talked a lot about it. So I can't speak out of both sides of my mouth. But the whole Bill Belichick in UNC is pretty uneventful, huh? They like stunk and like there was no real impact.

[Rich Davis]

Man. That was a weak story.

[Steve Covino]

Yo. Would you agree that minus his girlfriend, it would have been the weakest non story like Jordan Hudson's. The only thing that like made that interesting at all.

[Rich Davis]

It was like torpedo bats. It was like the biggest story and then sort of fizzled.

[Steve Covino]

Could we talk maybe later this week? We talk about Senar's biggest fizzles and I think Torbit torpedo bats and Bill Belichick at unc definitely on the list.

[Rich Davis]

Anti climactic.

[Steve Covino]

All right, well, you know what? I was Samuel, you know, I love to schedule watch and there's three games.

[Rich Davis]

The rich loves to look at the schedule game.

[Steve Covino]

Three games I didn't want to analyze yet, but I just want everyone to know that after we wrap up tonight, which is a great game. I know Bo's got his Eagles hats on. Like you said, two eight and four teams. He got his Eagles at the Chargers.

[Rich Davis]

Hell yeah.

[Steve Covino]

There, there's, you know, something at stake.

[Rich Davis]

For the Eagles, but we wrap up 14, man.

[Steve Covino]

I say more so for the Chargers because it's a very crowded AFC playoff picture. A very crowded AFC playoff picture. So I think the Chargers sort of need this more than the Eagles. The Eagles.

I don't see the Eagles getting that one seeds. And we said with Dan Byer before now that there's only one team that gets a buy.

The reality is that if you're not the one seed, is there much difference in being the two, three or four if it doesn't really matter? Right. That second home game, I guess. But. But more at stake for the Chargers because they're, they're not in yet with all these. With the Texans and teams like that lurking for those wild cards. I would, I would think Chargers need.

[Rich Davis]

This and they have a winning record at home, so. But once that's in their favor, we'll see.

[Steve Covino]

Well, I mean, I think once we look towards next week, there's again, every week now we keep talking about it, it's like playoff football before the playoffs because there's games that are just determining where teams are at. And some teams are, you know, are sort of seeing their hopes and dreams go or you're seeing teams peak and there's three games that we could break down further into the week as the week goes on. As we enter week 15.

Week or so before Christmas, Sunday's early set of games.

Has the Bills at Patriots. And if the Patriots Covino beat the Bills.

That'S, that's, to me, it's like, how could you do anything but say, well, the Patriots are like a legitimate contender.

[Rich Davis]

I think it's the Tommy DeVito effect. They'd be pretty solid since he's been on the team.

[Steve Covino]

Listen, the Patriots snuck by the Bills earlier in the season in Buffalo. We were all, Patriots are legit. We were all like, wow, the Patriots are for real.

[Rich Davis]

They're for real.

[Steve Covino]

Question the Bills, though.

[Rich Davis]

There's so many teams that are for real that we're so hesitant to say, are for real. And this is the week. I think this is the week officially where we're like, yeah, the Patriots are for real.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. But is this where.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Is this where the Bills say, Packers are for real?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, the Seahawks are for real.

[Steve Covino]

Is this, though, where the Bill say, slow down there, young buck. Drake May. And everything. Everything the Patriots are doing right. You.

[Rich Davis]

Well, it's at home. It's at the Patriots.

[Steve Covino]

That's a big one.

[Rich Davis]

I. Dude, I think the Patriots got that.

[Steve Covino]

How about.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, that's first instinct. I don't know. I'll think about it.

[Steve Covino]

How about two teams that are fighting for the number one seed and two teams that we got to take serious. You mentioned Jordan Love. Packers are playing at mile High. Packers vs. The Broncos. How do you not circle that game and say, that's. That's an interesting one. Right.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, I just saw a cool stat about the Broncos. I would go Broncos on that one, too. But. But the Broncos have a chance to be the AFC west champions. They'll be the first team. Them or the Chargers. Right?

[Steve Covino]

Well, yeah, there's going to be a new AFC west champ.

[Rich Davis]

First time since 2016, man. It's been Kansas City ever since. And that's why we said that's the biggest story of the weekend. It's like sort of the end of one of the greatest runs we've seen. And is the run.

[Steve Covino]

Is the run totally done or is it revamped?

[Rich Davis]

Trinity? That's a whole other question we can't answer.

[Steve Covino]

You still have Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes that as long as you have those two guys, like, I feel like you have the two of the most important pieces the team looks for. Right. All right. And the third game to circle and look forward to. Rams are hosting the Lions.

And as a 49ers fan, I'm so torn on this. And, Bo, you're an Eagles guy, but I know you also pull for the Rams. It's an interesting one for that. As a Niners fan, you would think I would want the Rams to lose, but the 49ers aren't guaranteed a playoff spot. So if the Lions lose, then I could almost promise you the Niners are then likely in the playoffs because. Yeah. And the Rams are looking ahead to the Thursday game in Seattle, too. So that's a. That's an interesting game. So there is a part of me that's like, ooh, like, interesting. Who do I want to win that game? Right.

[Rich Davis]

Like, who do you think wins? Yeah, that's. That's Lions beat a hot Cowboys. You know, are they going to keep that momentum going, the Rams that when.

[Steve Covino]

They'Re good at home. Puka Naku, who by the way happens to be the one current NFL player I think we've had on the show the most. Yeah, he's such a stud, man. Watching his intensity after that second touchdown. Flexing like, what a great dude. For the record as well. So hey, lots of great football looking.

[Rich Davis]

Forward for next week. But enjoy your Monday Night Football tonight and check out that Tyson Little Mac video we talked about at Covino and Rich.
