Hey, it's Covino and Rich. In sports and in life, timing is everything. You can have the right talent, the right mindset, even the right team.

Are you imagining the finger right now? Well, you can relax. Prostate cancer screening starts with a simple finger free blood test.
Rich Davis
Around one in eight men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, but that's no reason to re clench when caught early. At localized or even regional stage, prostate cancer can have over a 99% five year relative survival rate. Did your tight end just relax? Good. If you're 40 or older and have a prostate, visit relaxitsabloodtest.com to find out if a PSA blood test is right for you. The PSA blood test could be the first step in screening.

Welcome to the Covino and Rich sphere. The Covino Sphere known as Fox Sports Radio, right? Friday, baby. Or should I say Friday? Friday, Friday. CNR on FSR with super producer Danny G. Iowa Samuel. Sam's still excited from last night. Look at him. Iowa, we love Iowa.
Rich Davis
His post on social media last night, he was unhinged.
Steve Covino
Oh, so funny. Of course. Dan Byers here. Thank you guys for being here. Covino and Rich, the weekends here. We be rocking out. Let's go, man.
Rich Davis
I'm telling you, it's so casual. I got sunglasses on and I got flip flops on weekends here. Let's go. Today's Friday.
Steve Covino
I don't have any pants on. That's how casual it is right now. So. Love our Fridays. Glorious Fridays. Love being here. We have games to play, prizes to give away. We're gonna play Brainwave, the game that's sweeping the nation. We're gonna do some weekend hobnobbin like we always do on Friday to get you ready for this weekend. It's action packed weekend of college basketball. Baseball's back. There's a big fight. We'll tell you all about it. Things you need to watch in the world of sports and entertainment, pop culture and just so much fun to get to on this Friday.
Rich Davis
Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about hero moments. When were you the most heroic? We're also going to talk about your biggest boners. Like. Like mess ups.
Steve Covino
Yeah, we'll explain. Okay, cool.
Rich Davis
You don't, you don't have to beep that, Sam. Your biggest. You blew it type of moments a la Nebraska putting four players on the court. So we'll talk some mess ups. We'll talk some hero moments. Caleb Williams in the news. We'll talk some NFL brainwave giveaway prizes. But I did want to bring up one thing. Just a quick follow up and then we'll move on. I know you don't want to hear about my New York Metzis too much.
Steve Covino
You're damn right we don't.
Rich Davis
But I mean it is Fox Sports Radio and baseball started a couple days ago.
Steve Covino
I don't care.
Rich Davis
You're watching the Yanks in the background. So Juan Soto and Lundoy hate each other.
Steve Covino
Oh wow, you're convinced already.
Rich Davis
No, but there is.
Steve Covino
You have one game. Is there a side story?
Rich Davis
This proof.
Steve Covino
Ok? I want to hear it.
Rich Davis
This proof. And you didn't need to even put on your John Stossel mustache and investigate. There was no George Stephanopoulos inside. Look, there was no on the scene yesterday when we all were locked in for opening day. You don't get to watch the intros when you're just sort of watching the game unless you're locked in that early. Right? Right. You see the clips floating around social media afterwards. Like you saw the Orioles debut their new big screen in center field.
Steve Covino
That was cool. I like how they unveiled it.
Rich Davis
They unveiled it by showing the week old one and then it just turns into the big one. They had the orange smoke plumes.
Steve Covino
Oh, by the way, your boy Alonzo getting the love he's always deserved. He got a standing ovation at his first at bat in Baltimore. Skip that part.
Rich Davis
You saw Los Doyers looking good. You saw a lot go down yesterday. But as you're catching up on your own feed, you know, because your algorithm adjusts to you, I'm like, oh look. Oh no, it's. It said Juan Soto and Lindor hate each other. And I'm like, let me click here when they did the player intros. Juan Soto has a special handshake with every single met. Like even Carson Benj, the new young stud. We're talking like boom boom, like elaborate handshakes.
Steve Covino
Who? The young stud who went yard yesterday.
Rich Davis
Yeah. Francisco Alvarez, Brett Beatty, you name it. He's got like some type of bean bop boop bop beep bop handshake. You know how he greets Lindor? Yeah, yeah, good dude. Like not even a fist bump.
Steve Covino
A fist bump. A lazy dead fish of a fist bump.
Rich Davis
I'm going to show you the video. We'll post it at Covinoenrich. But Just proof that Lindor and Soto hate each other. And while I pull up that video, let's go to DB for some breaking news. What's up, Danbuyer?
Steve Covino
Breaking news from Fox Sports, guys.
Dan Beyer
Tiger woods has been arrested by authorities in March Martin County, Florida, after he was involved in a rollover crash earlier today. Sheriff's officials speaking with the media just a few moments ago, revealed that Tiger was placed under arrest for dui, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test. The authorities there say that Tiger was driving his Land Rover when he came upon a pressure cleaning truck that had a trailer on it. Tiger tried to avoid the truck as he was going at a higher rate of speed, clipped the back end of the trailer, and Tiger's Land Rover turned over on his side. The authorities say that Tiger woods crawled out of the passenger side of his vehicle. The passenger side window of his vehicle suffered no apparent injuries, but authorities there did feel that he appeared to be under the influence. He did take a breathalyzer test, came out 0.00. But he refused to take a urinalysis when taken to the sheriff's office. Possibly under the influence of another substance.
Steve Covino
Wow. Yeah.
Dan Beyer
It would be speculation, but Tiger has spoken previously on Painkillers or maybe prescription drugs or. But we don't know that information. But his refusal to take that test allowed them to place him under arrest for dui, refusal to submit to a lawful test, and property damage.
Steve Covino
That's a wild story, man. You know, so many thoughts listening to that. Why? First of all, like, dude, come on. But then you hear he wasn't drunk. You have to assume it's like some
Rich Davis
sort of pain meds. Maybe this is all scripture.
Dan Beyer
That's what we speculate. And not to cut you off, but the official there is that Tiger talked to the authorities explaining his injuries. So that would be maybe a reason of saying, like, hey, I'm taking. Yeah, that's me speculating here. But it was stated that he did mention his injuries to the officers at the scene of the crash. Talking about previous injuries, not from this crash.
Rich Davis
And I'm not saying this is certainly excusable, but 0.0 on the breathalyzer. It's not like he got trashed and got behind the wheel. This could be one of those. Maybe he wasn't quite aware of what's
Steve Covino
doing because he took something that made him drowsy reaction. Yeah, it didn't expect that. Either way, he's lucky to be alive, it sounds like. Right? I mean, that's crazy.
Rich Davis
No one killed or anything.
Dan Beyer
No one was killed. Actually, the passengers or the driver and the passenger of the pressure cleaning truck were not hurt. It was Tiger's vehicle that was tipped over. He clipped the trailer that the pressure cleaning truck was carrying. He was going at a high rate of speed, according to these officials, at least for where these vehicles were driving. That was also the case when he suffered the accident about five years ago here in Southern California. But. So Tiger woods arrested, charged with DUI and property damage.
Steve Covino
Wow, that's crazy. It's also a little misleading when you hear dui, right, because you think, well, he must have been boozing. What was he doing boozing early in a day like this?
Dan Beyer
Yeah. And I don't know. I don't know the clarity, but a lot of times we say dwi, driving while intoxicated, you know, he was under the influence of something, he just wasn't.
Rich Davis
Alcohol, dui, dwi. There is a difference, right? I mean, because Timberlake and Britney Spears both were. One's a dui, one's a dwi.
Danny G
It just varies state to state. I think there's just. They're the same thing. They caught you driving under the influence. You're not in your right mind to be driving. You're on pills, you're on alcohol, whatever it might be.
Steve Covino
Either way, you're speeding at those high levels and your car turns over. It sounds lucky. He got lucky, put it that way. So I'm glad he's okay. I'm glad nobody's hurt here. But interesting story, Dan.
Dan Beyer
Yeah. The DWI again is the what Your blood alcohol content would be the driving under the influence. He wouldn't register anything on a breathalyzer, but that doesn't mean he wasn't under the influence of something. Yeah. Whether it be a recreational or prescription drug or whatever.
Rich Davis
Interesting, man question for you, DB not to put you on the spot, but you're a big golf guy. Do these situations Tiger finds himself in, does it affect his fandom or. Tiger fans? Tiger fans. And they just got us back through all these struggles.
Dan Beyer
I feel that considering what he went through with the family stuff, that if you're going to be a Tiger fan, that that would have been the point, that you would have jumped ship. I don't know. I don't think that there's been a lot of deviance from the injuries that he suffered five years ago. I think more people looked at that as a comeback or, like, when are we going to see Tiger comeback? So the answer to your question, I don't think that this will change anything.
Rich Davis
Yeah, no, I feel like he's a legend and his fans got his back.
Dan Beyer
Sure.
Rich Davis
If they have his back until yesterday. Yeah. They're not going anywhere today.
Dan Beyer
There was another time where he was. Where there was a mug shot. So we talk about the accident that he had in Southern California. There was another night where he was pulled over, where we have the infamous Tiger mug shot. And now here's an incident here. So for whatever reason, it's not getting through to him. He's not understanding what is going on and what is at stake. And if you are a Tiger fan, you don't even have to be a Tiger fan. That is what is increasingly frustrating about this situation. It's nice to say, like, you. Like, we. I'm glad no one was injured. Glad Tiger wasn't injured. I'm glad the other two people were injured. But again, luckily, that no one was killed. This isn't the first time, and it's not the second time with Tiger. So, yeah, like, that's.
Rich Davis
As Dr. Phil, super frustrating. Dr. Phil would say that's a pattern.
Dan Beyer
Yes.
Rich Davis
Patterns.
Steve Covino
It is a pattern.
Rich Davis
Dr. Phil always talks about patterns.
Steve Covino
This guy needs to stay. Stay out of the car. Stay. Get off behind the wheel. You know, you make Tiger woods money, have someone drive you. That was the first thought I had when I heard the Timberlake story, too, man.
Rich Davis
You know what?
Steve Covino
That's the goal, though.
Rich Davis
I don't agree with it, but I. The explanation always, usually is when you say, if you're Tiger woods or Justin Timberlake or Britney Spears or someone, have someone drive you. I think when you're that big of a name, you want your independence. Isn't that the fun fact that presidents can't drive ever? Like, you're president of the United States. Like popes, presidents. Like, certain people can't even get behind the wheel. It's like, you're not allowed. I think there's some odd thing, like Howard Stern, like, I want my freedom. Yeah.
Steve Covino
It's. It's presidents, popes, and Howard Stern.
Rich Davis
Yeah. I mean, Ronnie the limo driver needs a job, right?
Iowa Sam
In fact, Timberlake was driving a rental car.
Rich Davis
Yeah. I mean, he went to, like, Hertz or something. Like, I'm here at Avis. My name's Timberlake. By the way, the video of Timberlake, the guy. You know, there should be no laughing about a guy that was boozing behind the wheel. But he did not want that tape released. Timberlake, and we all thought it was because maybe he was an a hole to the cops or was boisterous or crazy. If anything, it's like, what a. What a nice, humble guy. Stop making dumb decisions.
Steve Covino
Yeah. There was no juice to it.
Rich Davis
There was no juice to it, if anything. Did you see the awkward part where he's like, where are you going? He's like, I'm on a world tour.
Steve Covino
Yeah.
Danny G
He couldn't explain I'm a musician.
Rich Davis
And they're like, what do you mean? They're like. He's like, I'm. Yeah, I'm Justin Timberlake.
Danny G
Yeah, I'm Justin Timberlake.
Iowa Sam
But rich. I felt like it was clickbait because it was like he drops his name and I. So I click on it and watch, and I'm like, nah. It was really said, I'm in town for work. He's like, for what? And he's like, I'm on a world tour.
Steve Covino
Yeah.
Danny G
It was his assistant or, like, his. His friend or something who's like, you can't take him in. You can't do this. And she was, like, trying to lobby on his behalf. And then, you know, he was.
Steve Covino
But, I mean, he was very polite, Curious to see what. What else comes out of this Tiger woods story. I'm with Dan Beyer. It's a little disappointing, too. It's like, yo, dude, come on, you gotta be better than that.
Rich Davis
Well, you know, I think hopefully three times. Three times that, you know, you get away with it. Meaning, like, no one's killed. Eventually it gets through. Like, maybe you're not. Maybe it's not in your stars. Tiger woods. To get behind the wheel or benefit.
Steve Covino
Benefit of the doubt. I was at the orthopedic doctor today. True story. You know, getting my shoulder checked out. Rotator injury. Cause I was throwing heat.
Rich Davis
Are you gonna be back after the All Star birthday?
Steve Covino
I don't know, man. But seriously, we need you out of the pen, Covino. And I was prescribed something, and that was my first question. Like, hey, Doc, is it gonna make me drowsy because I have a blabber mouth I gotta keep up with every day on. On Fox Sports Radio. I can't be getting sleepy. He's like, no, but, you know, you. You gotta take this with food. Otherwise maybe it will have an effect on you. You never know what this guy's taking, how it affects him. You know, he's always in some sort of pain. He's Tiger Woods.
Rich Davis
I heard it affects your hairline and your erectile dysfunction.
Steve Covino
I hope not. I hope not. My point is, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here, even though he doesn't necessarily deserve it based on the patterns and that maybe he was taking something that, that made him a little sleepy, a little drowsy, a little off. Who knows, man? We'll see. Dan Byers, got your updates. Stick around for that. Now, Rich, you were in the middle of this Juan Soto thing. I do find that really interesting. We made fun of you of like, all right, you're already yapping about your Mets. That's bad. You want good chemistry at the workplace, especially when winning revolves around that. And if Soto and Lindor can't put that aside, I don't like that at all. We just saw what Soto's capable of in the wbc. That's a stark, stark contrast. If he can't put it together with Lindor.
Rich Davis
If, if you see two people that are squabbling sometimes, it's very clear to see who the problem is based on everyone else around them. And yesterday at opening day, there's a montage that someone put together. It's pretty funny. It's. It's Carson Benj, the, the young stud rookie that went yard yesterday, hit a bomb. Him and Soto look like they've been lifelong best buddies.
Steve Covino
And how cool is that? Right? Soto's a superstar and he's the guy ass slapping and high fiving him with this young dude. That's great to see.
Rich Davis
And when they did the announcements of all the players on the team, this.
Steve Covino
Let's see.
Rich Davis
I'll give this guy props.
Steve Covino
Sounds like Lindor's a problem.
Rich Davis
He's a director of baseball.
Steve Covino
Oh, the director of baseball.
Rich Davis
Baseball. Fernando Ballestros Baseball. He, he commented on this and I'll give him props because it says uncontrolled egos. Among the Mets between Puerto Rican Francisco Adore and Dominican Juan Soto are becoming increasingly obvious to even fans. Watch how they greeted each other on opening day. I'm going to show you and we'll post the video. I want you to look at the beginning. So here's, here's Lindor coming out.
Steve Covino
Right.
Rich Davis
Take a look.
Steve Covino
Right. Well, we can't pretend that body language doesn't matter because it absolutely does.
Rich Davis
Just watch this video. I'm going to hand my phone to you. I'm looking. There's Lindor.
Steve Covino
Yeah.
Rich Davis
Shakes Mendoza's hand. The manager. Yeah, he's there.
Steve Covino
There's Soda. Look at Soda. Let's play slap ass.
Dan Beyer
I want to shake his hand.
Rich Davis
Him and Soto didn't even address each other. Then there's Bichette. Lindor just gives everyone a little. Juan Soto is giving everyone love and has special handshakes. Except for Lindor, which is strange. And I love Lindor.
Steve Covino
I was gonna say Lindor is such a likable guy. Says all the right things. It seems like him and Soto are just, you know, too many even look like new.
Rich Davis
Met Luis Robert Jr. That was on the White Sox. Look at this.
Iowa Sam
We want to see it, too. Rich, hold your phone up to the camera.
Rich Davis
Yeah, I feel left out. There you go. But look, him and Soto. Special handshake. Him in Lindor. A little fist bump.
Danny G
Yeah.
Rich Davis
I don't know, man. So you know, whether it's my Mets or your team. Egos. Yeah. Look there. Spotty's posting it. Look. Look at him and Lindor. Just nothing.
Steve Covino
That's why when I come into the studios, I give everybody a fist pump and a vato nichette.
Rich Davis
Him and him. Look, bro. Hugs. There's Polanco. Him and Soto. Special handshake. Everything just Soto's the guy. Lindor's the problem.
Steve Covino
The key to chemistry is a good handshake with everybody. That's why I slap everybody's ass equally here in the studio.
Iowa Sam
Oh, nice work, Spotty. It's covino and rich FSR on YouTube.

Now, baseball's heating up. We got an action packed weekend, but there's another story we got to get to. Baseball's heating up, but who's the coolest guy in the room? The Iceman. The Iceman. Now, when I say the Iceman, who do you think of?
Iowa Sam
I think of Chuck Liddell.
Rich Davis
I think. Well, I think of Top Gun, I
Steve Covino
think of Chuck Liddell, and then I think Val Kilmer.
Verizon Announcer
Immediately.
Steve Covino
Yeah. When I say the Iceman, who comes to mind? When I say Cool as Ice, you're thinking Vanilla Ice. Right? But when I say the Iceman, who comes to mind? Because apparently the Chicago media gave someone else this nickname. I don't know who signed off on it, who approved this, how it came to Be. But I'll say this to get it out of the way. We understand that things go in cycles and things are generational, but apparently Caleb Williams is the Iceman, and he's trying to get this trademark. Now, does anyone outside of Chicago think of this guy as the Iceman?
Iowa Sam
No. No. We know the OG Iceman is Gervin.
Steve Covino
Right. George Gervin is the guy. And there's a whole backstory on how he didn't get that trademark. Right, Danny J. Yeah.
Iowa Sam
So a business associate was in charge back in the day of getting his trademark for Iceman and Iceman44, which was his jersey number, and this guy passed away. Everybody, including Gervin and his camp, thought that. That it had. The task had been done. So all these years, they thought they had it, but once Caleb filed, they found out, oops, we don't have it right now. So that's why Gervin is opposed to this.
Steve Covino
Gervin comes to mind. But, you know, old heads will say Gervin Mike, who runs this place. That was his immediate thought. Guys like Mad Dog Russo, probably like G. That's right.
Rich Davis
He's the Iceman.
Steve Covino
There is only one Iceman, right? It depends who you ask. I get it. It's generational.
Iowa Sam
They put the name Ice on the back of Girvan's jersey.
Steve Covino
But you got to think Top Gun. I'm not even a Top Gun fan, but props to Val Kilmer. We've had the honor of interviewing him. Couldn't have been a nicer dude. Such a cool guy. He's the Iceman from Top Gun. You got to think Chuck Liddell. We live out here in Los Angeles. I think everybody in the Valley has had a Chuck Liddell sighting, whether it's at Costco or just strutting down the street of Ventura Boulevard. He is the Iceman. In the world of fighting, you know who owns the name? And are there other ones that are in question?
Rich Davis
Yes, because there's more than one nickname where there's multiple people that come to mind. So we'll go over who owns the nickname and what would it take for Caleb Williams in your mind to really beat the Iceman? So, twofold here. What would it take for Caleb? And I got a list of other nicknames.
Steve Covino
Same, same, same. All right, cool.
Rich Davis
Look at that. We're on the same page. Look at that.
Steve Covino
Look at that.
Rich Davis
On the same brainwave. And by the way, speaking of which, we will play later today. You could win a prize if you are on our brain at Coveenonrich and Again, who is the Iceman to you?

Are you imagining the finger right now? Well, you can relax. Prostate cancer screening starts with a simple finger free blood test.
Rich Davis
Around one in eight men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. But that's no reason to re clench when caught early at localized or even regional stage prostate cancer could have over a 99% five year relative survival rate. Did your tight end just relax?
Steve Covino
Good.
Rich Davis
If you're 40 or older and have a prostate visit relaxitsabloodtest.com to find out if a PSA blood test is right for you. The PSA blood test can be the first step in screening. Talk to your doctor to evaluate your risk, determine when to get tested and and discuss screening options and next steps.

Steve Covino
right, so it's Friday. We're So casual on this Friday, Rich has flip flops on. So I don't know who owns the Flop, LeBron James or Rich Davis, but we're going to talk about who owns what. Okay. Who owns nicknames? When I say Iceman, you think of who. Well, Caleb Williams is going for the trademark. Caleb Williams. Dude, he got ice in his veins. Sheesh. He's got the ice in his veins. He's great. I mean, has he, the Iceman earned that nickname? He didn't pick it. The Chicago media gave it to him. But there's so many people that come to mind. Chuck Liddell's number one for me. We know it's generational. It depends on who you ask. But let's go over some other ones. And let's get you involved at 8-77-99 on Fox. 87799 on Fox. Speaking of LeBron James, Rich King, do you think a Haku Harley race Vitamin King of cartoons?
Rich Davis
I think of.
Steve Covino
As far as nickname, King James. No, I mean, it's got to be.
Rich Davis
I mean, Elvis Presley.
Steve Covino
Yeah, there you go. That's another great one. Yeah. Who's the king? King of what?
Rich Davis
The king of cartoons?
Steve Covino
King of Bongo Bong? King James man.
Rich Davis
I also think of King Holly Race. The Macho king. The macho.
Steve Covino
I'm glad you say the Macho Man. All right, here we go. Let's get controversial ready? Because this is upset a lot of people. You said the macho. If he's the macho king, well, then I think Hector Camacho owns the Macho Man.
Rich Davis
You're out of your mind.
Steve Covino
No one. He was famous first. Nope. His fame came up in the early 80s. It's macho time. These are his trademark things. This is when boxing mattered. Mancho Man. Hector Macho Camacho. You can't say he's the Macho King and he's the macho. He owns all the nicknames. Because you're a wrestler wrestling fan.
Rich Davis
You're out of your. You're out of your damn mind.
Steve Covino
Macho Camacho was a big name fighter back in the early 80s. Randy Savage didn't become famous until the mid to late 80s.
Rich Davis
Well, get this. If you asked a hundred people if you were Steve Harvey with your big fat mustache.
Steve Covino
Well, it's generational.
Rich Davis
We asked 100 people. No, you could ask.
Steve Covino
If you asked him in the 80s,
Rich Davis
Hector Camacho would probably win 95 out of 100. People would say Macho Man. Oh, yeah, Randy Savage. No one would say Macho Camacho.
Steve Covino
I think you're also downplaying his importance at that time.
Rich Davis
Well, I mean, I'm telling you right now. If you asked a hundred people now.
Steve Covino
Yeah.
Rich Davis
Or they would say, oh, yeah, like the song.
Steve Covino
They might say Steve Covino. I don't know. I'll give you another one. Ready? I'll give you another one. I got a few on the dome, off the dome. Speaking of boxing, right? Who owns Sugar? Is it Sugar Ray Robinson? Is it Sugar Ray Leonard? Is it Sugar? Shane Mosley? Is it sugar? Sean O' Malley for the younger dudes who love MMA, or is it just Mark McGrath?
Iowa Sam
It feels like Sugar Ray Leonard because of our grandparents.
Rich Davis
I would say Sugar Ray Leonard's the
Steve Covino
answer over Ray Robinson.
Danny G
How about the Archies? They did Sugar.
Iowa Sam
Sugar.
Danny G
It's really theirs.
Steve Covino
That's so obscure, Sam. I'll tell you what, my mom loves that reference.
Rich Davis
Sam.
Steve Covino
Honey, honey, honey. I got one for you. System of a Down also has a song called Sugar for the rock fans. But, like, when you say Sugar, who comes to mind? It's generational, but I think there's clear answers. Like, I really do think it's Chuck Liddell. As far as Iceman, I do.
Dr. Nicole Safire
Or.
Steve Covino
Or, okay, so you, you think it's Gervin, probably, right?
Iowa Sam
Danny G being a basketball fan. Yeah. I mean, he had that nickname for so many years and I didn't get to watch him play or anything, but.
Steve Covino
But I don't think anyone thinks stories about him.
Rich Davis
Talking about old timey times. If you asked 100 people, I'm just pretending. If you ask people from teenage years to 90 year olds, who's the Iceman?
Iowa Sam
Well, for our generation, it would be Top Gun and then Chuck Liddell.
Rich Davis
I think most people, because of the popularity of Top Gun and then Top Gun Maverick made a bazillion do and Rest in Peace, Val Kilmer.
Steve Covino
One of the first times Rich and I experienced this was when LT came up and we immediately thought Lawrence Taylor and the kid was talking about ladanian Tomlinson. We're like, oh, wait, hold on.
Rich Davis
Wrong.
Steve Covino
Lt. Yeah, it was. That was the first time it was brought to our attention that there's generational differences depending on who you ask.
Iowa Sam
And those are initials to me.
Rich Davis
All right, so Macho man is Randy Savage. Iceman is Val Kilmer. I think King is King Hippo. King Hippo from Punch Out. No, I think it's Elvis Presley or LeBron King James.
Steve Covino
Well, I'm the King. It's gotta be Elvis. No.
Rich Davis
Yeah. What about this?
Steve Covino
Oh, did you guys see that movie?
Dan Beyer
It's so good.
Rich Davis
If I said. If I said Joe. Cool.
Steve Covino
It's Snoopy.
Rich Davis
Is it Namath, Montana. Like, who do you think?
Steve Covino
Odyssey? Snoopy. I think he owns.
Danny G
I was thinking of the cigarette. Oh, that's Joe Campbell.
Iowa Sam
No, never mind. You guys, I know you're not big NASCAR guys, but the King was also Richard Petty. Oh, there's been lots of the King.
Steve Covino
Is that who Run DMC was down with?
Rich Davis
Down with the King?
Iowa Sam
I'm sure they were big. Nasty.
Rich Davis
What if. What if I said Flash? Are you thinking Flash Gordon? Bolt, the runner. But, like, there's a few people with Flash.
Iowa Sam
Dwayne Wade.
Rich Davis
Dwayne Wade's Flash.
Iowa Sam
Yeah.
Steve Covino
I think John Flaherty of the New York Yankees.
Rich Davis
You're the only one.
Steve Covino
I'm the only guy. But it's funny. Yeah. Like, who owns these names? It depends on who you ask. But there has to be a winner. There can only be one in this game.
Rich Davis
You think there's too many people that have a last name Rodriguez that just do the rod. Like, K Rod, A rod, J Rod. Like, is there someone that owns the rod beside your mother?
Steve Covino
I'm telling Hortense.
Rich Davis
Yeah, you said, is there someone that owns the rod? I think, like, when you say rod, I think a rod. Like everyone else, I feel like, followed the lead of a rod with the. The abbreviation. K Rod, J Rod, all the rods.
Danny G
What if Andy Roddick was calling himself a rod long before?
Rich Davis
The only rod that I give credit to besides a rod is Rod Roddy. Rest in peace.
Steve Covino
Come on down, Hot Rod.
Rich Davis
Oh, Hot Rod. Roddy Piper.
Steve Covino
Roddy Piper.
Rich Davis
Hot Rod.
Steve Covino
All right, so when it comes to these nicknames, who owns what? And most of all, who owns the Iceman? And your thoughts on this and can they be shared?
Iowa Sam
Like, do you guys have a problem with. Because, like, think of creating a band or you're a rapper and you're getting your name for, you know, your act together. You're not going to go with something that's already used, hopefully.
Steve Covino
I mean, sometimes you can't. Right. So the problem was it wasn't trademarked, so should have been. I'm not mad at Caleb Williams because, you know, at first, at first sight of the story, I'm thinking, dude, you can't do that. Because I thought he was giving himself that nickname. I did. That was my first instinct. I didn't know it was sort of given to him. And that being said, he's thinking like a smart businessman trying to make it happen. I can't be mad at that. At all what about the goat?
Iowa Sam
When I say the goat, I think
Steve Covino
Tom Brady or LL Cool J owns it. Right?
Rich Davis
LL Cool J. But then I think Michael Jordan was one of the first. I think people deemed like, he's the goat. Because as Kavino points out, on occasion when we were kids, goat was not a good thing. It was like the hero and the goat. Like, the goat was like, man, you
Steve Covino
messed up the curse at a billy goat.
Rich Davis
Yeah. Then greatest of all time, LL Cool J. And then the first. I think the first deemed goat wouldn't have. What do you think it would?
Steve Covino
I think of goat boy, Jim Brewer. I think he owns it. So thanks for your feedback. You know, I'm really bad at pulling up this live chat, so let me do it right now. I can't count on rich guys playing with his flip flops under the console. Let me pull this up so I could see what the people are saying live.
Rich Davis
I just looked up because I was not being lazy. I want to say if we're missing any. And I looked up shared nicknames of sports legends. Do you know anyone that called Hakeem Olajuwon the Wizard?
Steve Covino
No.
Iowa Sam
He was the dream.
Rich Davis
Yeah, that's what I thought. Hakeem the dream man. Because they said Ozzy Smith and Hakeem Olajuwon both called the Wizard. I'm like, I don't know about Hakeem, but Ozzy Smith the Wizard. But there's. I think if a legend has a nickname, it's pretty, pretty wild to go after it. Like, that's what's interesting about the Iceman, because we've had a few legendary icemen. So the fact that Caleb and the Chicago Press like, yeah, yeah, Iceman. I'm like, we got like, multiple Iceman.
Steve Covino
Multiple. You know what? I'm going through the feedback, though. Everyone from Jones, Talica fan, Wes Scott for mayor. Most people on the live chat streaming live at Covino and Rich FSR are saying Chuck Liddell. But again, that does prove, though it is generational, it is. All right, so that's the story when it comes to that. Now we got to give Iowa Sam the chance to gloat in his glory. We're going to talk about your biggest boner.
Rich Davis
Oh.
Steve Covino
Because a boner was pulled last night. And I'm not talking about you, Iowa Sam. I'm talking about what happened in that Iowa game. And I want your breakdown. I want your thoughts. But here's what I want from the FOX Sports Radio Nation. Start thinking of the biggest bonehead plays in sports. But the Biggest boner moments in your life. I'm not talking about that time you got hold of the Spice Channel.
Rich Davis
I'm not talking about.
Steve Covino
No, no. I'm talking about your biggest mess ups. Like.
Rich Davis
Or just like, embarrassing like, oh, my
Steve Covino
God, I've never lived down.
Rich Davis
I can't believe I did that.
Steve Covino
Because you can't live down a Chris Weber moment, no matter how great you are. I'm not sure Nebraska could live down what happened yesterday.
Rich Davis
You can't live down. You can't live down. Who's. Who's the guy? I guess he could live down because I forgot his name.
Steve Covino
No, that's just you being a bonehead.
Rich Davis
Do you remember in the 80s when they would always do plays of the year, the guy that forgot he was on first base and pulled his pants down.
Steve Covino
I saw Steve Lyons.
Rich Davis
Was it Steve Lyons?
Steve Covino
Yeah, yeah.
Rich Davis
Like, we're talking about, like, boneheaded moves where like, oh, my God, I can't believe I did that. Interestingly enough, I could think of more things I've seen Covino do. Can I give you one?
Steve Covino
Cause do you share a nickname with Kurt Hennig? Is that why?
Rich Davis
Because I'm. I couldn't think of anything I've ever really done.
Steve Covino
I can't think of any bonehead things I've done. How about wearing flip flops to work? I mean, how would you feel if Danny G rolled up like, hey, I'm in my flip flops. It's like, yo, dude, how about you not wear them to work? I think that's a bonehead.
Rich Davis
You got a problem with me wearing flip flops?
Steve Covino
Yeah, it's a workplace. No one wants to see your bats. No one wants to see your penis toes in the office. I'm sorry, it's offensive.
Rich Davis
I got long toes. What do you want me to tell you?
Steve Covino
No one wants to see that. It's the workplace.
Rich Davis
It's not like I got LeBron feet or Steven Tyler feet, which are worse.
Steve Covino
True. I. I'll give you that. I will give you that. So, guys, start thinking about your bonehead moves in life. We'll go over what happened last night.
Rich Davis
I thought of a third. I have three Cavino bonehead moments.
Steve Covino
That's fine. We'll go over that next and share some stories, but Dan Beyer has an update.
Dan Beyer
What's up, DB Guys, tracking down the information that came from Jupiter Island, Florida earlier today.

Rich Davis
Daniel Powder this is a great one hit wonder from the 2000s. In fact, if you remember back on American Idol, can I tell you I
Steve Covino
did know that though probably because you bring it up a lot.
Rich Davis
Back on American Idol there was a couple seasons where when you got kicked off the show, that's what they played. When they did the little montage of here's your time on the show later, I remember that that was voted one of the biggest one hit wonders of the 2000s.
Steve Covino
Speaking of votes, Rich voted for Taylor Hicks a hundred times. It's one of his bragging rights. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
Rich Davis
You voted for Sanjaya I did. I did.
Steve Covino
And Bois, it's time for our tire act play of the day. We are Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. And last night we had a tip in win to go to the Elite Eight for Purdue. Smith, working against Weaver, dribbles right, puts up a runner right of the lane, banks it off. Tip by Coffin Red is good.
Rich Davis
Point seven to go.
Steve Covino
79. 77. Purdue.
Rich Davis
Son of a gun. You know, that was what prevented my four for four.
Iowa Sam
Dude, you were three and one.
Rich Davis
You know, I did my four for four. Don't be a ridiculous balky parlay where I said I'm gonna just pick the teams that I think are cooler.
Steve Covino
Yeah. Yeah.
Rich Davis
And I was three for four. And if it wasn't for that tip in, we would have went four for four.
Steve Covino
Because nobody beats Frank Perdue.
Rich Davis
I told you that. You know what? I should have listened to you.
Steve Covino
That was courtesy of Westwood One and our tire rack play of the day. For over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack.com the way tire buying should be. So speaking of college basketball. Yeah. But by the way, Action Pack weekend. We're so pumped for it. Iowa wins over Nebraska 77, 71. But Nebraska was winning the whole game. And they've never gone this far. That's the thing. And they call a timeout when they were still in the game and still had a chance to win, and they send four dudes back out on the court. What happened?
Rich Davis
I don't.
Steve Covino
You know what? I don't need to explain. Let coach Fred Hoytberg explain.
Iowa Sam
Put that one on me. It was a miscommunication and, you know, I'm the head coach. Put that one on me.
Steve Covino
The four men on the. On the court, on that final inbound did. There's some confusion online about if that's the rules. You're supposed to have five guys on the court. Where were the officials supposed to hold the ball before the ball? Was a good question, Robin.
Iowa Sam
I've never been in a situation like that. I know they always count to make sure there's not six. I don't know the rule on that with. With four. But yeah, I mean, again, we. It was a miscommunication and, you know, unfortunately happened. But that, you know, as far as the rule, I've never been a part of anything like.
Rich Davis
Like that. So they made a. They made a mistake. And, Sam, you reaped all the benefits.
Steve Covino
Sam, what was your thoughts? You're a big Iowa fan, obviously. Iowa.
Danny G
Sam, they, it was a little over a minute left and they, I think they had a three point lead or. Yeah, they had three point lead. And then he just hucks it down there and Alpha Garris just brings it in like Jerry Rice goes, gets the N1 lays it in.
Steve Covino
But again Nebraska down a defender in
Danny G
that moment and so they just like so ready to pounce on him with that. They're like, oh, down. Yeah. And I think. And they might be right from that bit of sound like the. You'll get a courtesy check from the ref sometimes be like there's. You have six guys on the floor. That's a technical foul. So they didn't tell him. You only have four guys on the floor. And everyone on the bench for Nebraska seemed to be in disarray coming off
Steve Covino
of a timeout and everyone's sort of shocked, but they called it immediately in the game like there's only four guys on the court there.
Rich Davis
And that's like, that's like Little League stuff. That's like when you tell the kids to run out on the field or on the court. And it's like, I think it was
Danny G
Van Gundy right after the play happened and he's like, there's only four guys out there.
Steve Covino
Yep, yep. And immediately social media goes wild. Worst thing we seen since Chris Weber. So that brings us to your biggest boner moment.
Rich Davis
Could I give one of the ones I remember about you? Because I said I've since I've, you know.
Steve Covino
And by the way, when we say boner moment, it's from a famous early 1900s baseball play. Merkel pulls boner. He was a Cub and he forgot to touch second base in a really crucial situation. And that was their elimination game, if I'm not mistaken. And it was Merkel pulls boner. So bonehead moves. Go ahead.
Rich Davis
Oh, I mean, I mean we're running out of time. I feel like there's a. I have my Covino top five boners.
Steve Covino
You need that much time to make fun of me?
Rich Davis
Well, I think people are going to want to hear this. Clearly, the top five stupidest.
Steve Covino
Clearly, when you think of big boners, think of me then.
Rich Davis
I don't know if anyone's ever thought that. But hey, we'll do it next right here and we'll play Brainwave. Coming up. Hang tight. More cnr.

This episode delves into breaking sports news, focusing on Tiger Woods' recent arrest and the debate around sports nicknames, especially "The Iceman" as it relates to Caleb Williams versus legendary athletes like George Gervin. The crew also discusses team chemistry in MLB, memorable bonehead moments in sports (and life), and the generational perspectives on sports culture and pop references. As always, Covino & Rich keep it lively, humorous, and packed with quick-witted banter.
"This guy needs to stay out of the car. Get off behind the wheel. You make Tiger Woods money, have someone drive you." – Steve Covino, [13:06]
"Tiger was driving his Land Rover when he came upon a pressure cleaning truck that had a trailer on it. …Crawled out of the passenger side of his vehicle…breathalyzer test, came out 0.00." – Dan Beyer, [07:33]
“Just proof that Lindor and Soto hate each other…like even Carson Benj, the new young stud…he’s got some elaborate handshake. You know how he greets Lindor? …a lazy dead fish of a fist bump.” – Steve Covino, [07:12]
“When I say the Iceman, who do you think of? …For me it’s Chuck Liddell…and then Val Kilmer.” – Steve Covino, [20:19] “If you asked a hundred people…95 would say Macho Man Randy Savage. No one would say Macho Camacho.” – Rich Davis, [32:07]
“The key to chemistry is a good handshake with everybody. That’s why I slap everybody’s ass equally here in the studio.” – Steve Covino, [19:22]
“Because you can’t live down a Chris Weber moment, no matter how great you are. I’m not sure Nebraska could live down what happened yesterday.” – Steve Covino, [40:09]
