And Danny said every Thursday we should bring in a rando piece of sports memorabilia or something from our childhood. Something old school, which is sort of fun.
Covino
All right, that's cool. I love show and tell. And I love Thursdays because we throw it back old school in 50 hits. And today is the anniversary on this day, 1967. It was Super Bowl 1. And as we said the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Green Bay Packers 35 to 10. Millions tuned in for the first Super Bowl. And we pose this question to you, FOX Sports Radio Nation. 87799 on Fox. 87799 on Fox. We're getting you involved. What were some of your favorite, most memorable super bowl moments? Now, of course, it could be game related. Maybe you were at the game. Maybe it was a performance, maybe it was halftime. Maybe it was something that happened at the party. Maybe you want some money. It could be anything. If it's memorable to you, it's your time to share.
Rich
You know, I'm not alone in saying that I remember exactly where I was for every Super Bowl.
Covino
That's tough.
Rich
Where.
Covino
Because you could have been at like a random neighbor's house. You remember that?
Rich
Yeah.
Covino
Where I was a random childhood friend's house.
Rich
Who won? What was the score? Like? These are the type of things I feel like it's in such an annual mark of the beginning of the year that you sort of remember where you are and what you were doing. But I have good memories, bad memories. Like, they don't have to be all good ones. Like, I'll tell you what, one of my worst memories was. The last Super bowl, the 49ers lost to the Chiefs where they were, they were up in overtime and when they had to settle for that field goal, I knew in my heart and soul that the Chiefs would respond, drive down the field and score a game winning touchdown. Even on fourth down, when the 49ers had the Chiefs at fourth down in overtime and if they stopped them, they win the Super Bowl. I knew, I'm like, they're gonna, they're gonna do this. I remember walking out of that stadium in Vegas and Danny, you remember the story? I was so mad that I didn't even wait till the next morning to take my flight home. I rented a car and drove home. I'm like, I just gotta get out of this town.
Danny G.
You were crying in the middle of the desert, screaming out your car window.
Covino
Why? On another side note, Rich and I have been part of, I think this year will be 20. Yeah, 20 Super bowl broadcasts, radio row on site, and some of the fun best stuff we've ever done. We've met so many cool players along the way and it just gets us more pumped about Santa Clara in February. Yeah, I'm pumped, so pumped to bring it to you again on FOX Sports Radio because you never know who's going to stop by. It's, it's the best Time of year, for sure.
Rich
Super bowl memories.
Danny G.
Going to be Covino and Rich's. Fourth with Fox Sports.
Covino
Fourth with Fox Sports.
Rich
Do you remember the cities we've been to together? Most, I mean, I'm saying over 20.
Danny G.
Years, but with Daddy Gary, Arizona.
Rich
Yeah. Vegas.
Danny G.
Then. Oh, let's see. Oh, no, not New Orleans. Last year. Yeah.
Rich
And now this year, our fourth.
Danny G.
Yeah.
Rich
Look at that. A lot of fun. Good cities.
Covino
You know, I want you guys to think back to 2007. We were in Miami. And this is why it's scan. It's no wrong answer. Personal for me. I thought it was awesome because I Remember interviewing in 2007 a young Devin Hester. And I remember talking about how fast he was and Devin Hester, man, how did you know, like, you were better than the rest? And he said when he was a little kid, he was always explosive. He was faster than everybody. I'm like, man, dude, that's awesome. Nice to meet you, man. I wish you all the best of luck in this game and. All right. They didn't win the super bowl, as you remember. The Colts won the Super bowl in 2007 over the Bears. But I remember watching the game and it was the very first play, the kickoff. Devin Hester runs one back and like, oh, man, that was so cool. Cause we were just talking to the dude and I'm pretty sure that always stood out to me.
Rich
That was so awesome at the time. Covino's like, it's because I gave him a pep talk.
Covino
It was a cool feeling knowing we had just talked to that dude and. And he sort of like manifested like.
Danny G.
You feel like you had a little something to do with it.
Sports Reporter
Yeah.
Covino
Like, you know, on a professional broadcasting level, like, yo, we were just talking to that dude. He was talking about how excited he was and to run one back.
Rich
And he did it. Kavino's like, cut left, not right.
Covino
No. And you know what, though? We saw a legend begin, really, that night. Because that dude was the best at it. He was the best at that. He really was.
Rich
Well, as far as super bowl memories, let's hear him. 87799 on Fox.
Covino
Can I give you a stupid one? Rich? I never told you this in 20 years. I never told you this.
Rich
A Super bowl memory. I'm pleased I have at it.
Covino
The year was 1991 and the Giants were in the Super Bowl, Right?
Rich
Yeah, I remember.
Covino
I believe against the weak ass team you root for.
Rich
Well, that wouldn't be the Super Bowl. That would have been the nfc.
Covino
Oh, nfc. I was nfc.
Rich
Yes, when they.
Covino
No, no, no, no.
Rich
When they demolished Joe Montana. They played. That was against the Bills.
Covino
They beat the 49ers.
Rich
Then they played the Bills.
Covino
Then they played the bills. So it's 91 against the bills. And the Bills had this nightmare run, right? But I was at my girlfriend at the time's family's house. So random, right? I do remember this, but there's a reason I remember this. I don't remember where I was. For everyone like you, I remember where I was for this. Because we're at a Super bowl party and I'm like the new, like, ancillary random person at the house. So I'm not related to anybody there. I'm just there. And a photographer comes into the house, knocks on the door. Hello, photographer. You mind if you're having a big party here? Mind if we get some pictures, right? And dude, I'm front and center, and I don't even belong there because I'm just like, again, visiting.
Rich
You're the boyfriend of the girl.
Covino
I'm the boyfriend of the girl there. All the family's there. And I was in the Daily News. No, it was the New York. No, it was the Star Ledger. The New Jersey Star Ledger was the biggest paper in New Jersey. And there I am cheering on the Super Bowl. It was Nantucket Monthly. I'm sorry. No, no, no, no. It was. It was. It was actually.
Rich
Look at. It was the school newspaper. It was the school newspaper.
Covino
You know what? You're right. It was the Daily Noodles, Rhode island tr.
Rich
You know what?
Covino
I was the Weekly Reader.
Rich
My bad.
Covino
It's Reader's Digest. You know what it was Highlights magazine.
Rich
It was actually a school project I did. I said Daily News.
Covino
Covino, off track here. No, the Daily News is New York's hometown paper. That's what it was. But it was the Star Ledger. I was in the Star Ledger, like Jersey's pump for the Giants. And it was me in the News. And back then, that was a big deal.
Rich
Yeah. Just to throw out a couple. I remember the first Super Bowl I attended in person spot. And I went and we got to see Drew Brees and the Saints upset the Colts in Miami. Question.
Covino
If you're so good at super bowl trivia. Right?
Rich
Yeah.
Covino
We all remember Janet Jackson and what happened.
Rich
Yeah.
Covino
And it changed our industry. Right. FCC was a big thing.
Rich
Let me be.
Covino
It won't let me be anymore. But it was such a big deal for. Where were you watching it?
Rich
That bra was spring loaded, by the way. That thing popped off. Dude, that was all planned.
Covino
You know, it was planned moment. It was absolutely popped it out. There was a.
Rich
There was a button on that thing where the cup went.
Danny G.
Boo.
Covino
Then she had like a little cover smack logo on there. Like a little gold coin or something. What was going on? I think it was just contained. It was. It was a natural spring. But if we're talking about built into that thing, unforgettable moments. It was such a weak moment, but it really was unforgettable because it had great ramifications moving forward in life. And. And I want to know where you were.
Rich
Where were you?
Covino
Do you Remember?
Rich
Was that 04 or the 03?
Sports Reporter
04.
Rich
What year was Janet Jackson?
Covino
It was 04, but at the end of the 03 season, right?
Rich
Yeah. It was a 2004 Super Bowl.
Covino
It was a Super Bowl.
Rich
I'm just curious. I was living in. I was in Brooklyn.
Covino
I was wearing an affliction.
Rich
That was Jake Delome coming up short, right? That was Panthers losing to the Patriots by field goal.
Covino
Adam Vinateri, where were you, FOX Sports Radio Nation when this controversial nothing burger happened? Because it wasn't even impressive.
Rich
We could list all day all our favorite Super Bowls, but there's two things stand out to me, Danny G. Two things that stand out. Number one, when I was a little kid, my love of the 49ers. I grew up on the east coast as a Niners fan, so I knew that if the 49ers lost the super bowl, every kid in school would make fun of me. And I remember I was in my room by myself. You know what? Sometimes you like to watch a game or a moment by yourself. I was a little boy. The 8889 season against the Bengals, and the Niners are trailing in that game. And this is before the Joe Montana legendary drive. I remember in my room, and I'm admitting this. I was a little kid. I was crying.
Covino
Wait, how old were you?
Rich
I was crying. 89.
Danny G.
10, 17.
Sports Reporter
Man.
Rich
I was 10 years old. And I remember crying, thinking he was 20 years old. All the kids. I was thinking, all the kids are going to make fun of me. I really thought I was like, the kids are going to make fun of me.
Danny G.
How are they going to find out?
Rich
The Bengals?
Covino
No, no. Make fun of him because his team lost.
Danny G.
Oh, gotcha.
Covino
Right.
Rich
All the kids are going to make fun of me because my team lost. How could the Niners lose to the Bengals?
Covino
Probably had that sweet satin 49ers jacket.
Rich
I did have a satin 49ers jacket.
Covino
Could picture it.
Rich
And I rem, I don't think as a little boy was I ever more excited than when Joe Montana hit John Taylor crossing the end zone. And that, to me, was like my favorite personal super bowl memory. But just as far as watching something miraculous. We were together at my apartment in Sherman Oaks when we first moved to la.
Covino
Yeah.
Rich
When Tom Brady made that comeback, that was insane, because it got. It became a joke, sealed the legacy. Because I remember you and I, we were with mixed company, different friends and people, and it was like, all right, unbelievable.
Covino
I remember where I was sitting that. I remember exactly where I was sitting.
Rich
You were sitting on my couch, right?
Covino
That chair next to my couch. No, I had a chair next to your couch. Yep.
Rich
And I remember us being like, all right, they're getting closer. All right, they're getting closer because we.
Covino
Weren'T moving for that one when they.
Rich
Sacked Matt Ryan and took them out of field goal range. I remember. And then you guys made fun of me because after the game, there's a picture of me somewhere.
Covino
Danny.
Rich
I know. Spot could probably find it.
Covino
Spot. You got to find it, bro. You got to find a spot has it somewhere.
Rich
I'm sitting on. On a chair.
Covino
I think I have the video I filmed.
Rich
I'm sitting on a chair with my hands on my chin, like old schoolboy looking at the tv. Like, in admiration of Tom Brady.
Covino
No, like, shaking his head. Like, shaking my head.
Rich
Like, this guy's magical.
Covino
He's doing a slow crack while crying. Like, you know, because he was so emotional.
Rich
I was like this or drunk or something.
Covino
I don't know what was going on.
Rich
A combination of drunk, high, and emotional. Tom Brady comes back 28 to 3, and I'm not even a Patriots fan.
Covino
It was hard to not acknowledge how amazing that was. Right.
Danny G.
So it's a Super bowl all of us will remember forever on the anniversary.
Rich
Of Super Bowl 1. What is your best super bowl memory?
Danny G.
Two quick ones for me. When I was a little boy wearing an LA Raiders shirt, living here in LA, Marcus Allen reversed field 74 yard touchdown against the Redskins. He was running like a gazelle through traffic into the end zone.
Rich
Oh, what a game.
Sports Reporter
He.
Danny G.
He was one of those running backs where it almost looked like he was running in slow motion because of his big, long strides and the way he. That's my first memory of NFL football as a little kid. And so Marcus Allen's been my favorite player ever since.
Rich
That's my dad's best gambling example.
Danny G.
Oh, the score.
Rich
Yeah. 38 to 9. Because that was what I learned about A box pool. My dad would be like, oh, Richard, you want zeros or sevens or ones or fours for the combination of a box pool? My dad's like, I got the worst numbers, 8 and 9. I remember my dad winning some pretty good money in the 80s off of 8 and 9. And that was the lesson of, like, you never know what a good or bad box number is.
Danny G.
And then my other favorite memory happened with you guys in Arizona. Luke Combs concert. You guys didn't really care about watching Luke Combs. You were schmoozing with Sirius XM people.
Covino
Flavor Flav was there.
Rich
He was in the VIP room.
Danny G.
Yeah, he was. But who was there in attendance wearing his cowboy boots? Brock Purdy.
Caller
And.
Danny G.
And Rich. What's the term I could use? Cornered him or backed him down in the stairwell. And of course, you've heard us talk about this before, and we laugh about it because he did. Look. Purdy looks scared. Rich look, Rich legit looked like a stalker. But the next day on the air on Radio Row, we're telling the story and we're laughing. And right as we're telling this story, who comes walking straight towards our stage with his entourage and does a little.
Rich
Point and wave rock party.
Danny G.
It was like it was planned. It was crazy.
Covino
That was so.
Rich
That was a great moment. That was definitely a great moment. I have a great Super bowl memory. 05. Jacksonville, Florida. The first super bowl we went to. We were young men in our twenties. What you say? There was a.
Covino
That was the official launch of our show. Our official launch. We had been on the air, but we officially launched at Super Bowl Jacksonville, Florida.
Rich
Covino practically got attacked by a New England Patriots cheerleader. That's true.
Covino
True story.
Rich
Because apparently she had just got dumped by a dude.
Covino
I didn't report the assault, though.
Rich
I wouldn't have either. He got pulled away by this beautiful cheerleader of the Patriots because she just got dumped by a dude that apparently looked just like Covino. So to spitefully get back at her ex, let's just say Covino reaped all the benefits. And I remember being like, look, I hate this guy.
Covino
You know how cool we felt? I'm not gonna lie. Like, I feel like it's a different person we're talking about. So I'm allowed to say this like you're hanging out with Patriots cheerleaders in your 20 somethings. That was a cool moment.
Rich
Yeah.
Covino
Thanks for bringing it up. Yeah. All right, so let's go to the old. Turn it over to you, Fox Sports Radio Nation, your greatest super bowl memories on the anniversary of the first ever in 1967. 87799 on Fox.
Rich
They could be sad ones. I can imagine if you're a Bills fan, when Norwood wide right, you probably thought you had it and like those. It could be sad moments. Horrible. It doesn't need to be all happy moments. Like, I still think Crabtree was held against the Ravens. Holding should have been first and goal.
Covino
Kaepernick.
Rich
All right, let's say hi to Trip in Vegas. What's up, Tripp?
Caller
Hey, gentlemen. Thanks for taking my call.
Covino
Trip like I do.
Caller
Two great ones. One involves a friend of mine, father for me, 1991, betting with the bookies. We have the Giants and under. And when he missed that field goal, we went nuts. I never forgive living. Living at Myrtle Beach.
Covino
Do you remember seeing my picture in the Star Ledger?
Rich
See that? That's. How could you not.
Caller
And then when the Eagles went. Was it 2005 when they played the Chiefs? I think so.
Rich
Yeah.
Caller
So that year they played, I worked with a guy in the casino in Connecticut before I moved out here. He's like, if they go, I'm going. He refinanced his house after they won the. The divisional round and paid like $10,000 for two tickets, two airline tickets, a hotel room. And he said, look, I'm may. This again. That's a memory for me, the fact that he was that big of a.
Rich
Fan and that big of an idiot. Refinance his house. If you have to refinance your house, watch a game from the couch. Thank you, Tripp.
Covino
Thank you, buddy. Just refinanced. Watch on the couch inside your home that.
Rich
You got to refinance my house so I could go watch Donovan fall short. All right, Q, what's up, man?
Caller
What's happening?
Covino
What's up?
Caller
I. I got a bittersweet one.
Rich
Yeah.
Caller
When the.
Covino
When the.
Caller
When the Bears won the Super bowl in 85.
Rich
Yeah.
Caller
Stupid Mike Dick said that he forgot he wasn't thinking about giving Walter Payton the ball to. For a touchdown. He gave it to Perry. Refrigerator.
Rich
Yeah. Refrigerator Perry. Yeah.
Caller
Memorable moment for some. For some extra entertainment. And this man been on the team for over 10 years trying to get to the super bowl, and you give it to him.
Rich
Yeah. That is a wild moment.
Danny G.
It's weird, but he never had another chance. He never had another chance to score a TD in a super.
Covino
You know what, though? The super bowl shuffle in itself is a crazy story that they were so bold to think that they were going to get there, and they did. They Made that song as a kid. That song was everything. That was the coolest thing you'd ever seen.
Rich
Not to be a Super bowl nerd, but it is one of the few things I really nerd out on. Like, the uniforms, the scores, what cities they were in. Like, I love all that. It's like a. Just. Just a. It's a little thing I'm fascinated by.
Covino
Don't.
Rich
I don't know why, but I am. Super bowl uniforms, stadiums, logos. Then they went generic with the logo, and it just became the Lombardi Trophy in silver. But when I think back to all those. All those games in the 80s and 90s, when we were kids, super bowl used to stink. Then we went through a time period where all the games were really close. When we were kids, there wasn't a close super bowl until the Bills, until Montana won against the Bengals and then the Bills Giants game. But besides that, we're talking about probably 15.
Covino
I got it right here, Rich based.
Rich
Probably out of 17 out of 20 Super Bowls in our childhood were blowouts or games that, like, stunk.
Covino
If you go back to what he was talking. The 85 game. 85 bears even before this, 45, 10 over the Patriots.
Rich
Look at the before. The year before that. Montana killed the.
Covino
I'm sorry, 46.
Rich
Yeah, 46, 10.
Covino
And then the Giants over the Broncos 39, 20. Then the Redskins over the Broncos 42, 10.
Rich
So, yeah, a ton of blowouts when.
Covino
We were little kids.
Rich
Yeah. And then the Niners close game. Niners blow out 55, 10 against 55, 10. And then, you know, and other. And then other than that, close Giants Bills game. The other three Bills losses.
Covino
Cowboys put up a 52 spot.
Rich
I mean, so the super bowl used to be more entertainment and just like, yeah, the game sucks.
Danny G.
Food, family, friends, dude.
Rich
And then more time to get drunk. And then there was a decade where every super bowl was close. And I feel like we're in that world now where the last. I would say not last year's, though. Yeah, more so than usual, though. The super bowl last year stunk. The Tom Brady.
Sports Reporter
Don't forget the ads, too. Always about the ads.
Rich
It used to be more. I like.
Covino
Here's my question based on that. I was just thinking about that because there's a lot of callers talking About Games and Memories. 87799 on Fox. When you think of, like, the. The be all end. All of music videos. It's like Thriller. Right? So what was the Thriller of commercials that stood out?
Sports Reporter
Budweiser. Toads.
Covino
Yeah.
Sports Reporter
Budweiser frogs, Budweiser in general. We could just do. I was gonna say we could do a top five. That's just. Budweiser is totally in there.
Covino
But you're right, maybe it is the frogs one was the one that stuck the most.
Sports Reporter
I think the original one.
Rich
Yes.
Sports Reporter
It was the Super Bowl. It was in the 80s. The Macintosh, the Apple Mac 2. That was a big one commercial with the. You know, they're doing 1984. The Olympic sledgehammer thrower listed as the.
Danny G.
Number one most memorable super bowl commercial.
Sports Reporter
Was basically the start of the idea of the super bowl is the place where you put your best commercials, hands down. And it makes a huge impact. Apple got put on the map from that, and super bowl ads got put on a map from that as well.
Rich
You know what I think ruined the Super Bowl, Adam?
Danny G.
It coming out early.
Rich
Yes. Social media.
Covino
Dumbest thing ever.
Rich
Like, if you. If you're Tostitos or you're Doritos or Budweiser and you have a cool ad, I get it. You're trying to just get it out there. But when you're putting it on TikTok and Instagram two weeks leading up to the big game, the super bowl, where's the. You used to wait. You used to actually. Instead of taking a little break to go to the bathroom, you would sit down and be like, no, I gotta watch your commercials too.
Covino
Yeah, you didn't want to miss that. It was must watch. What about the.
Danny G.
I was gonna say Bud bowl or whatever that was.
Covino
Versus Bud.
Danny G.
Going to tell you on this list here for the rest of the top five. Number two, Nike's Just Do it ad. 1993. Michael Jordan, of course. Number three, E Trade's Talking Babies ad. It was 2008.
Sports Reporter
Got the Talking babies were a Super bowl thing.
Danny G.
Number four, Volkswagen's the Force ad. A parody of Star wars featuring a kid dressed as Darth Vader. Number five, Coca Cola's hey kid, Catch the mean Joe Green.
Rich
Yeah.
Covino
Wow.
Rich
You know what? You want to show how time is fine. That. What's up. The craziest part of that is that. Do you realize this is just. This will blow your mind. The dudes in the what's up? Commercial were answering landlines. Yeah.
Covino
And then they reenacted. They reenacted it. Not too long, but just to think.
Rich
Like, a guy called his buddy and he's like. He. Hello.
Covino
What?
Rich
Like was on home phones with cords.
Covino
For me, that's the one that stands out the most.
Rich
True.
Covino
You could argue any of those. 8, 7, 7, 9, 9 on Fox. Let's go to you.
Rich
Let' go to Butch in Florida.
Covino
What's up, Budget Butch?
Caller
Hey, guys, how's it doing?
Rich
What's up, man? What's your.
Caller
What's up, buddy?
Rich
What's your super bowl memory, Butchie?
Caller
I'm going to rattle just a few off and I'll let you guys go. First of all, niners 55 to 10.
Rich
I mean, I felt. I felt bad. I'm a Niners fan. I even felt bad for Elway.
Caller
I did too. I lived in California at the time and the joke was we named overpasses and underpasses after Elway because he played such a bad game.
Rich
Yeah. Poor guy.
Covino
You know, not to make this emotional or anything, but it goes to show you why this is so special to us in a lot of ways and why Rich remembers where he was every year and everything and why it feels like a holiday. A lot of these members memories are connected to friends and family members that we don't even see anymore.
Danny G.
Yeah.
Covino
Or they're not even around. And that's the truth. That's kind of crazy. Yeah. I'm sorry to bring down the vibe. No, you're right. But that's what's beautiful about the, the game. It brings people together. What's your other one, man.
Caller
There'S Niners Bengals game. They were so close. They were like, they're like, like all the Super Bowls seemed to be like blowouts until then.
Rich
Yeah, that, that we. And we made that point. By the way, I have a memory that I don't even know if Kavino remembers Aaron Rodgers and the packers beating the Steelers. 2010. 2011. 2010 season. 2011. Yeah. In Dallas. Right. It was snowing in Dallas. It's like an ice storm.
Covino
So cold. They.
Rich
They couldn't really slip in. They couldn't accommodate the snow because it doesn't happen in Dallas. So it was hard to get around.
Danny G.
And.
Rich
And my wife's a Packers fan. So I went out of my way to get my wife and her dad super bowl tickets so that I could forever be in his good graces.
Covino
So my.
Rich
I sent my father in law and my wife to the super bowl and I laid in my hotel room and Covino and I ordered room service and watched the super bowl in a hotel room together.
Covino
I totally remember how cold it was.
Rich
Lloyd and Harry, because we did. That's true. We did all the viewing parties and things were like, you had to fight. How are you going to get there? It was snowy in Dallas, so him and I like ordered we brought buffalo wings to a room together and people say, where'd you watch a game? And I, joking, would say, oh, Kavino and I laid in bed together and watched. Did you wear matching robes like Harry and Lloyd?

Covino
The chat's popping on the YouTube. Covino Enrich FSR and we're going over old school when 50 hits. Your most unforgettable super bowl moments on the anniversary of the first ever Super Bowl.
Rich
Yeah. Super Bowl 1 on this day in 67. 67.
Covino
6, 7.
Rich
What you got, Irisan? What's your memory now?
Covino
Super bowl.
Rich
That was 1967, right?
Covino
Yeah.
Rich
So that was about 19 years before I was born. But there's a very famous photo of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson smoking in the locker room and drinking a fresco. I just thought I'd mention that because that is from the first Super Bowl. It's like iconic now. And the halftime show was certainly not a big deal until the 80s. People forget that.
Covino
Is it like a marching band?
Danny G.
Marching band.
Rich
It was like mediocre.
Covino
And not a lot of people smoke anymore and not a lot of people drink.
Rich
Fresca.
Sports Reporter
It feels like Prince was the one where it's like, that was my first. What you talk to is like the Prince halftime show.
Rich
Oh, it's one of the best halftime.
Sports Reporter
Shows that changed our entire idea of a halftime show.
Rich
I mean, in the end, a lot.
Sports Reporter
Of marching bands and themes like Disney's Wide world or stuff like that.
Rich
Michael Jackson back in the day was a big one.
Danny G.
Yeah. He popped up on top of the stadium.
Rich
You ever hear the documentary? There's a quick docu series about that where it's so timed out to the second as you know, you can't go over on a halftime show, especially because it's extended to begin with. The producer was like, michael Jackson waited like an extra 30 seconds. Remember he stood up there with in the Wind and he just stood there. The producer's like, sing, sing. Like just do something. And he was just milking the crowd for that anticipation. And the people behind the scenes were losing their minds, as you can imagine.
Covino
You cried at that too, didn't you?
Rich
I cry often.
Covino
Taylor Swift could never, by the way.
Rich
Taylor Swift could never. You know, I remember being in college, I was saying, you like the Packers. I remember the packers losing to the Broncos. That, that as you. We talked about the Elway documentary recently. John Elway with the helicopter dive where he flipped around. I was in my college Tony G's.
Covino
So right though the image we have in our imagination, in our mind of what the helicopter play looked like as to what it really was, is so it's not the same.
Rich
It wasn't into the end zone.
Danny G.
It was in our little kid mind.
Covino
In our little kid mind. He like spun around like seven times.
Danny G.
Yeah. And I thought he was like five.
Rich
Feet off the ground, but you know, same. What a. What a baller play.
Covino
Oh yeah. It was so cool.
Rich
You know, Spot, you have a great story if you don't mind sharing. I reminded you during the break we were on a. We were on a flight back from the Super Bowl. One Spot, if you want to take it away.
Covino
Sure, I'd love to, Rich.
Rich
Thanks, Spot.
Covino
Yeah. Which super bowl was it?
Caller
You.
Covino
You reminded me which one it was.
Rich
I totally forgot it was a. It was a Patriots Super Bowl.
Covino
Yeah, well, we were delayed. Patriots, Seahawks, usually we go, you know, we cover the Super Bowl.
Rich
It was the. It was the Marshawn lynch just for the reminder. It was the interception at the one yard line. Marshawn should have ran. But the first three quarters of that game I didn't watch at my house.
Covino
Right. Because we usually cover the game. So we're in the super bowl city and we fly back before the game to be back in town, settled and then watch the game at home. Our flight was delayed so we were like stuck at the airport and then we were eventually got in the air, but we were in the air while the game started. But the system on the plane wasn't working. I don't remember if it was DirecTV. Like we were flying jetpack. So like we had no Internet, no in seat tv, no entertainment. Eventually we were able to get a signal, but you couldn't get like any sort of streaming service at the time. Remember they prevented any streaming services because it took up bandwidth. I was able to use my Internet to Log into my sling. Remember Sling? The service like the actual Sling, not Sling tv, which is the streaming service. But Sling allowed you to tap into your cables.
Danny G.
An actual little box.
Covino
Right. So I was able to use that connection and stream the super bowl from my television in New Jersey.
Rich
So Spot in the air. We watched the super bowl in the plane. And on the plane, Spot was the only one that had the game. So people were walking and hovering in the aisle near us, just looking above. Spot. Spot was like the. Honestly, Spot was like a hero.
Covino
That's awesome, because that one.
Sports Reporter
That one commercial is going around.
Rich
Yeah, I brought that up during the break. They're like, their flight is delayed, and everyone's watching the game on the guy's flight. Spot really, like, honestly, it was like one of those moments where I was really happy that Spot's like a tech nerd because I was like, dude, you tapped in. Everyone else on this plane hates you. They're hovering above us.
Covino
And I only charged people a package of Biscoff cookies so they could watch your most unforgettable moments. Super bowl moments. 87799 on Fox. We'll wrap it up with your phone calls. We'll do some rapid fire. And I just want to give people some time to get on the YouTube page again. Covino Enrich FSR. Cause we have our show and tell coming up. But Spot also found the video of Rich crying. Watching. Watching Tom Brady's comeback.
Rich
Right.
Covino
I don't have the sound, but you can. You can watch him.
Rich
Well, I want you to keep in mind, I was probably high. Look, there's Tom Brady. And impressed. Look at him.
Covino
Look at. Look at him. Wait till he claps. I wish I was. It's the lamest. Wait till he claps.
Danny G.
It's the lamest thing.
Rich
Wait till I clap.
Covino
Watch.
Rich
This is the 28.
Covino
3 comeback, by the way. Do you see the tear running down his face? Because he's so. He's so emotional. So emotional. Seeing Tom Brady like, this is unbelievable of.
Rich
I'm like, greatness, guys.
Covino
Greatness.
Danny G.
It's like, it's like one homie tear in the corner.
Rich
Honestly, I felt overwhelmed with. I'm emotional. I felt overwhelmed that we were watching. Like, you weren't alone.
Covino
No, you. You were.
Rich
You were crying for the Falcons.
Covino
I was.
Rich
I felt bad for them. Oh, no. I, I, I really. Honestly, Sam, I felt like we were watching the greatest do the greatest, and.
Covino
I was the greatest comeback ever. Yeah, that's funny.
Danny G.
Colin in the chat says, how tight are those pants, Rich?
Rich
I mean, it were. It was the 2000s. All right, let's go to. Where do you want to go, Cam in Illinois. Where do we want to set? Well, let's start at the top of Rapid Fire. Rapid Fire Kyle in Vegas. Go. What's up, bud?
Caller
20, 20. 2007, 29, 17. Bears lose. That was a heartbreak moment, especially because we were so destined. 13, 3 that year. We played our butts off. We got there only to see Peyton Manning get his first championship.
Rich
Yeah, that's a tough one, Cam. Illinois. What's up, Cam?
Caller
Hey, what's going on, guys? Mine's the same Bears. Indianapolis. We flew down to Miami. We were like, early 20s, broke, but scraped together enough. Enough money to make it down there. We were out on Saturday partying all day. There's a guy with a big lens from the Chicago Tribune taking pictures of us. We were like, hey, are you with the Tribune? He's like, yeah. So we gave him our names, and we were like, hey, are we gonna be in the Tribune? He's like, probably not. Take $50,000 pictures or 50,000 pictures a week down here. Next morning, woke up my brother calling me. He lived in Chicago at the time. He said he got the paper open up the Chicago Tribune, Super Bowl Sunday. Two page picture of me and my buddy Blake. Said, cam and Blake at pure Illinois party in South Beach. Never forget it. Got it framed over my desk at work.
Rich
That's cool. I mean, you know what? That's the least of consolation. I remember those moments where you're really sad, Danny. Not just the one where I left Vegas and I went home when the Niners lost to The Chiefs. The first time in Miami. 2020. The 2020 season. I. I remember seeing a dude in the bathroom during one of the big TV timeouts. The 49ers were winning, if you remember, by 10 going into the fourth quarter. And this guy, this Big Brother big, like 6 foot 5 black guy, gives me a hug and he's like, yo, Niners, we got this first time since Steve Young. And I go, no. Like, why did you say this? I remember being like, it's his fault.
Danny G.
He jinxed it.
Rich
No. And I said. And I took a selfie with this guy, and I said, if the Niners lose, I'll always remember you as the guy that jinxed in effect, spot. I'm going to text it to you right now. You can post. I have a picture of my phone. I go, because you'll be the guy.
Covino
You got pants on in this photo or.
Rich
Yes. I went to the bathroom then Picked up my pants.
Covino
Oh, okay. Making sure. Sounded like a weird story to me. Wrap it up with your phone calls. Who do we got? Danny G. Let's go to Rich and Virginia.
Rich
Oh, you know what? We're running real late. Let's go to Perfect for a quick update. We'll wrap this when we did. We're running so late. What's up, Perfette?
Danny G.
Hey.
Covino
Perfect. Good.
Sports Reporter
I'm ready to get out of here myself.
Caller
What's up, man?
Sports Reporter
All right, let's talk about a couple injury reports out here. Yes, unfortunately to Rich, Fred Warner's return will have to wait. Cross your fingers. You have to wait. He could possibly come back after the Seahawks game, but he will not play Seattle. He'd been limited in practice all week and he was ruled out. Meanwhile, for the Seahawks, they added quarterback Sam Darnold to their injury report with an oblique injury. Darnold says not that big of a deal, but famous last words, I guess, maybe question mark.
Rich
No big deal, huh, Sammy?
Sports Reporter
Yeah. Texas wide receiver Nico Collins not at practice for a second straight day, still dealing with a concussion. So his status for the Sunday divisional game in jeopardy. Something to keep an eye on. Moving through. Big news earlier was, of course, the New York Giants honing in on John Harbaugh as their next head coach. Deal's not done yet. Ball reports saying that any, barring any setbacks, the team expects to hire him. And among those pinned to be one of his assistants would be former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monkin. Hold off the retirement talk for just a bit because Clayton Kershaw, in spite of saying farewell to the majors, has committed to pitching for Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. According to espn, Golden State warriors fifth year forward Jonathan Kaminga has demanded a trade. Yes. Yes. Unfortunately, we have to talk about Jonathan Kaminga. Even though this circus keeps getting longer and longer, the demands came on Thursday, the first day he became eligible to be traded. He demanded a trade. He has not been on the floor for last 13 games for the Warriors. Meanwhile, over in Berlin, the Orlando Magic closed out the Memphis Grizzlies. 118, 111. Big show over there in Uber Arena. Rich. Steve, it's been fun.
Rich
Thank you, buddy.
Covino
Thanks, Starside.
Rich
I will get your super bowl memories. We'll wrap it up next right here.
Covino
On Cavino and Rich and show and tell you what we got here. But it all comes down to this one game. The best of the best playing for the Lombardi. So if you're watching at home, watch it like it matters on the TCL ultimate series, the QM8K or the QM9K.
Rich
Hey, this is super bowl football, guys. Bright lights, fast cuts, big hits, bigger debates. Was he in?
Covino
Did it move?
Rich
Did it cross the goal line? TCL brings the ultimate brightness.
Covino
It moved. When you were watching Brady Ultimate Black.
Rich
Levels, you ain't kidding. So the picture could stay clear and clean from kickoff to the final drive. It's so clear, you could smell the fresh cut grass. You see the ball spin, deep shots, everything, guys. No blur, no hold up, Go big. The ultimate Series is available now in a 98 inch class.
Covino
So every seat's a great seat, not just the people in the middle. So if you can't be at the stadium, TCL Ultimate Series is the next best seat available at all major retailers. TCL, the official TV partner of the NFL, here for Super Bowl 60.
Rich
Yeah, buddy.
Covino

Now, I do have to give a shout out to Scott that was on the hold. Danny, did you hear his story? He has an attorney friend who is a Peyton Manning fan and he was a Bears fan. The super bowl we mentioned a few times. Bears, Colts. He legally changed his name to Peyton Manning. He took the bet and his buddy's like, no, I'm making you do it. It. He since changed it back, but he had at one point legally change his name to Peyton Manning.
Covino
Well, you know what, speaking of that game, it's time for Danny G. To announce the winner because we're about to do some CNR show and tell.
Danny G.
That's right. Can I get a drum roll?
Rich
That's my belly.
Danny G.
That's my belly. And thank you to Everybody in our YouTube channel chat today. It's been off the hook. I'm gonna go with Nature Boy 32. His comment was, that's got to be a Flava flavor clock. Pre digital.
Covino
And he'd be right.
Rich
You know what's so funny? He's right. One of our show and tell items. 2005, the first year we did our show together, Flav was in our studio, and we saw him again years later. Danny, with you at the Super Bowl.
Danny G.
Yeah. He came on the show with us.
Rich
Flava Flav, Public Enemy. We just had a random crappy clock in the studio, and he's like, let me sign it. So I said, yeah, go ahead. And I found it in a box of, like, memories the other day. I thought that was an Eagles clock. I figured I'd bring it in a Flavor Flav sign clock.
Covino
All right. And I do want to mention what I brought in. We brought up this game several times today. I'm sorry to the Bears Fans. Super Bowl 41, 2007, Miami. We were out there broadcasting, covering the Super bowl colts over the Bears 29 17, Peyton Manning, VP in the rain. But guess what, guys? As we were covering all the parties and festivities leading up to the game, we interviewed so many cool people.
Rich
And you had them all signed that ball.
Covino
And I had them all sign the official ball, right? Hold on. I was leading up to it. Sean Alexander.
Sports Reporter
Hold on.
Covino
Chad Johnson, Chris Carter, Devin Hester, who had a game, man, he ran one back.
Rich
Wow.
Covino
Alex Smith, Young Alex Smith, Jerry Rice and Dan Marino. Dude, all on the same ball. And. And so many other people I just haven't even mentioned. But we interviewed so many cool people. I got so many cool autographs. And I got it here. It meant of a lot lot back in 07.
Danny G.
That's worth some money. Let me hold that.
Rich
Yeah, and I brought one other. I brought one other fun piece. I keep this in my office every day. And we do trip. We do trivia with him every week. But I have my Mike Tyson, too. Rich Mike Tyson boxing glove. I thought that was a cool item to share.
Covino
You can't get better than Mike Tyson on the glove or Jerry Rice and Dan Reno on a four.
Rich
Flava Flav on a clock.
Covino
Yeah. Or Flava Flav. I mean, on a clock.
Rich
And to end the show spot, can you flash that picture of me with the 49ers fan that jinxed me? I sent the team the 49er fan that jinxed me when they were. When they were losing.
Covino
So more reason to Watch us on YouTube. Covino and Rich, FSR. Check it out. Thank you. Have a good one.
Rich
I'll read it there at you, baby.

This is an I heart podcast, Guaranteed human.
Date: January 16, 2026
Podcast: The Dan Patrick Show (Covino & Rich Hour)
Host Network: iHeartPodcasts and Dan Patrick Podcast Network
This lively episode features Covino & Rich, alongside Danny G. and callers, reliving the most memorable and personal Super Bowl moments. The show, in its trademark blend of sports talk and humor, celebrates the anniversary of Super Bowl 1 by opening the phone lines and personal memory vaults: iconic plays, infamous halftime shows, crushing defeats, crazy fan stories, and the parties that make America’s biggest sporting event feel like a holiday. The discussion also veers into commercials, memorabilia, and the emotional connections fans create around the game—whether watching from the stands, on the couch, or even on a delayed flight.
“I remember exactly where I was for every Super Bowl.” — Rich (03:01)
“We saw a legend begin, really, that night.” — Covino (06:07)
“I was a little kid…crying, thinking all the kids are gonna make fun of me because my team lost.” — Rich (10:33)
“It changed our industry. FCC was a big thing.” — Covino (08:38) “That bra was spring loaded. That thing popped off…that was all planned.” — Rich (08:48)
“It used to be you’d actually…sit down and be like, no I gotta watch your commercials too.” — Rich (20:52)
“I had them all sign the official ball…Sean Alexander…Chad Johnson…Chris Carter…Devin Hester…” — Covino (41:15)
On Fate in Vegas:
“I was so mad…I rented a car and drove home. I just gotta get out of this town.” — Rich (03:46)
Super Bowl Melancholy:
“A lot of these memories are connected to friends and family members we don’t even see anymore…” — Covino (22:49)
On Janet Jackson’s Halftime:
“Speak for yourself, buddy.” — Covino, after Rich claims even Sydney Sweeney can’t cheer him up (00:55)
On the emotional power:
“I felt overwhelmed…that we were watching—the greatest do the greatest…” — Rich (32:59, after Brady’s 28–3 comeback)
| Timestamp | Segment/Topic | |------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------| | 02:08 | On-air question: Most unforgettable Super Bowl memories | | 03:46 | Rich’s personal heartbreak: Niners/Kansas City loss | | 05:45 | Covino’s memory of Devin Hester’s kickoff return | | 08:38 | Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” and its industry impact | | 10:33 | Rich as a kid, crying during Niners/Bengals | | 13:02 | Danny G. on Marcus Allen’s legendary run | | 20:02 | Favorite Super Bowl commercials (“Thriller” of commercials) | | 21:46 | “Whassup?” commercial and how times have changed | | 29:41 | The lore of John Elway’s “helicopter” play | | 30:10 | Spot’s inflight Slingbox Super Bowl heroics | | 32:59 | Video of Rich tearfully admiring Tom Brady’s comeback | | 41:15 | Show & tell: Covino’s 2007 signed football, Flavor Flav clock, etc. | | 42:08 | Closing reflections on memorabilia and emotional connections |
The episode is fast-paced, irreverent, and sentimental—blending banter, friendly jabs, and genuine emotion. Covino & Rich's rapport keeps it loose, trading barbs and self-deprecating humor (“I did have a satin 49ers jacket”—Rich), while callers are warmly welcomed and their stories are celebrated. The nostalgia is contagious, turning even painful moments into fond, often funny, memories.
Whether it’s witnessing history, reliving heartbreaks, showing off memorabilia, or just sharing the game with loved ones, this episode captures the uniquely personal and social experience of the Super Bowl. Listeners are reminded—in classic C&R style—that these moments aren’t just about football, but about the friends, family, parties, and emotions that make Super Bowl Sunday a landmark in American culture and in our own lives.
