Episode Overview

This episode of Covino & Rich focuses on the fallout from a dull Thursday Night Football matchup between the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders, analyzing the home crowd's booing of Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix and what it reveals about sports fans, expectations, and criticism. The crew explores who really deserves to be booed, both in sports and everyday life, blending fan frustration with their trademark humor and interactive banter. Additional discussions touch on broader NFL narratives, fan behavior, “placeholder” players, and upcoming schedule analysis.

---

Main Themes & Purpose

• Dissecting the "Bo Nix Treatment": Is the criticism of Denver's young quarterback justified, and what does it say about fan loyalty and expectations?
• Fan Booing Culture: Who truly deserves to be booed – athletes, coaches, or others in sports (and beyond)?
• Thursday Night Football Reaction: A breakdown of the game’s lackluster quality, reasons behind it, and its implications for both teams.
• Broader reflection: Understanding the “placeholder” role in sports and life, and managing expectations for underperforming teams or individuals.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Thursday Night Football – Broncos vs. Raiders Recap

• A consensus emerges that the Broncos’ 10-7 victory was a “snoozefest” and generally poor quality ("Was it on Sean Payton, or Bo Nix playing like cheeks?" – Steve Covino, [05:18]).
• Discussion of pointless penalties, the refs’ over-involvement, and a lack of offensive execution:
  • “More penalties than first downs or points.” (Big Mike, via Covino, [06:41])
  • “Wasn’t a defensive battle. It was just a boring, badly played game.” (Steve Covino, [07:04])

2. Bo Nix’s Performance & Fan Booing

• Home fans booed Nix despite the Broncos’ strong record:

  “Well, I've been booed before and I'll be booed again... Not gonna be the last time” — Bo Nix, postgame presser ([08:17])

• Covino commends Nix’s composure:
  • “He handled it well. It can’t feel good, so I give him props for at least dealing with it.” ([09:46])
• Rich Davis challenges the concept:
  • “You boo a team, that’s terrible. If you’re booing an 8-2 team, it’s an interesting thought.” ([08:31])
• Criticism centers on Nix’s lack of progress despite ample protection:
  • “The Broncos have a stellar offensive line… he’s not making any plays.” (Covino, [08:43])
• Danny G and Dan Byer dissect whether criticism is warranted considering defenses/games played and whether his plateau is an actual concern.

3. When Is Criticism, Especially Booing, Productive?

• Covino and Rich reflect on the effect of booing:
  • “Is there anything good that comes out of it? Does it light a fire or just make him feel bad?” (Covino, [15:55])
  • Segment explores sarcastic applause, home vs. away booing, and whether “tough love” motivates or demoralizes.
• Relatable moment:
  • “I’m not good with criticism… I wanted to tell the dude to kiss my ass.” (Covino, [09:16])

4. Who REALLY Deserves the Boo Treatment? (Sports & Life)

• Expanding on the topic, the team humorously questions if booing should be more common outside sports:
  • “We should start just booing people for other things.” (Rich Davis, [16:00])
• Examples: Slow cashiers, bad drivers, empty donut boxes at work, people who leave shopping carts in elevators, baristas who mess up orders, etc.
• Notable quote:
  • “Anyone that’s holding up your day deserves to be booed—Bo Nix style.” (Rich Davis, [35:06])

5. Fan/Crowd Interactions and Psychology

• Discussion points:
  • Is booing a form of holding athletes (or anyone) accountable?
  • Is it fair to boo a player/team performing above expectations despite one bad game?
  • “Imagine going to see your favorite comic… and you’re like yeah, I’m not really feeling this set. Booo.” (Rich Davis, [19:43])

6. Broncos and Raiders: Team Analysis

• Analysis of the Broncos plateau: Are Nix’s struggles short-term or an indicator that Denver should look for another QB?
• Raiders’ problems: Geno Smith’s struggles, O-line injuries, lack of offensive cohesion, and firing of special teams coordinator after repeated failures ([14:54]).
• The impact of recent tough games and short rest on both teams’ Thursday performances ([21:27]).

7. Schedule Watching & Looking Ahead

• Rich looks ahead to Broncos’ schedule, emphasizing the looming matchup with the Chiefs (who will be rested post-bye week) as a “real big test for Bo Nix, Sean Payton, and the Broncos” ([24:27]).
• Possible opportunity for Denver to quiet critics and establish division dominance.

8. The Placeholder Theory: Are Some Players Just ‘Filling Time’?

• Rich explores the idea of “placeholders” in sports and life—players/coaches filling a role with no ultimate shot at glory, yet collecting their paycheck or providing stability.
  • “Are you okay being the placeholder? If you’re Geno Smith… I know I’m not going to win a Super Bowl for the Raiders.” (Rich Davis, [49:09])
• Applies to careers, relationships, various real life situations.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Bo Nix and Criticism:

  • “Is Bo Nix cheeks?” (Covino, [05:18])
  • “He’s not moving the ball the way they thought he was.” (Covino, [12:20])
  • “You don't want your own fans booing you, but you know, it's part of it.” —Bo Nix ([08:20])

• On Booing in Sports & Life:

  • “We should boo people more often, you’re right.” (Covino, [16:24])
  • “Imagine you’re at the store, there’s one register open, 15 people in line and they’re not opening a second… Boo!” (Rich, [16:19])
  • “The person that doesn’t put their shopping cart back.” (Covino on boo-worthy behavior, [18:46])

• On Game Quality & Fan Reactions:

  • “If you’re getting booed at home, where’s the home field advantage?” (Covino [15:50])
  • “You're going to get booed when you're away, right?… you don't want to get booed at home.” (Covino, [17:10])

• On Placeholders:

  • “Are you okay being the placeholder? …I got paid.” (Rich, [49:09])

• On Thursday Night Football Quality:

  • “It was just background noise. It was there, and that's what it was for me.” (Covino, [47:56])

Summary Takeaway

This episode uses Bo Nix’s rough night and the Denver crowd’s boos as a springboard for a lively debate about fan expectations, acceptable criticism, and society’s inclination to “boo.” While anchored in a specific (and notably dull) NFL contest, the conversation ranges from NFL Xs and Os to playful venting about everyday societal frustrations, offering both hard sports talk and comic relief. The “Bo Nix treatment” becomes shorthand for how we respond when expectations—fair or otherwise—aren’t met, both on the field and off.

Today's Friday.

[Steve Covino]

Kavino and Rich broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Yeah, week 10 off to a weak start, but we have lots to get to. We're gonna have a fun show right here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's rock out now.

[Rich Davis]

On today's show, we're gonna play a game, Brain Wave. We're gonna do weekend hobnobbin. But you know, we gotta kick the show off right away.

[Steve Covino]

Let's.

[Rich Davis]

Sean Payton owes us an apology today. Yesterday we were apologizing to Sean Payton f that he owes us an apology for that snooze fest known as Thursday Night Football.

[Steve Covino]

I want him to mean it. I don't want any forced, lame public apology that we see all the time. I don't want like a weak AI scripted, tweeted apology. I want to see her kiss my ass apology.

[Rich Davis]

I don't want to love his blind apology where you're saying it just because you're on stage. Like, I'm sorry for gaslighting.

[Steve Covino]

I don't want to. I don't want to look back into the eyes of Sean Payton and say, you don't even know what you're sorry for.

[Rich Davis]

I just feel like yesterday we talked about Sean Payton and how we were so quick just two years ago to be like, this Denver thing's not working out. Get him out of here. And then fast forward a couple years. This team's eight and two now, but after last Night. I think you owe us an apology for wasting three hours of our life.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, it was just a boring game. Was it on Sean Payton, though, or Bo Nicks playing like cheeks? Because the narrative is quickly changing on Bo Nix, and the stats are showing it. He's playing kind of weak is Bo Nicks cheeks. You heard Colin Cowherd just in that recent promo, he was dumping on your boy Geno Smith. And of course, early this morning, Bo Nix, he was saying, if you're the Broncos, you got to start thinking about maybe drafting another quarterback because he's moving backwards. He's not progressing the way people thought he would and the way he should at this point in the season. So. And then there's the theory of, like, hey, not. It's like a stock, Rich. You know, you could always go up, but you're going to hit plateaus at some point.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, I'm a crypto guy. Bitcoin. It hits a plateau as long as.

[Steve Covino]

Your trajectory is still.

[Rich Davis]

It's like the stock market or crypto or anything. Like, as long as over the long term, you're. You're going up the staircase.

[Steve Covino]

And that's what Bo Nicks has to do. But he, you know, obviously hit a few roadblocks, you know, because the Raiders defense is so stellar.

[Dan Byer]

Danny G. Vaunted defense. I told Rich it was not going to be 27. You know, I didn't think. Like I told you on the yesterday, I didn't think the Raiders were going to win, but I did think it would be a closer game than what you predicted, Rich, just because it was in division and they have a long history of rivalry, and they battle really tough every time they face each other.

[Steve Covino]

And the stat that everybody's talking about, even Big Mike was saying at the first moment I walked in today, Mike, who runs this place more penalties than first downs or points. Yesterday, again, the Broncos win 10, 7 in a snoozer from the jump.

[Dan Byer]

The refs were too involved in that game.

[Rich Davis]

Well, you know, I said, does anyone try to angle this as a. Well, a defensive battle? And Big Mike, who again, runs his place. The guy is knowledgeable. Never heard, never heard of him. He goes more like offensive ineptitude. It was offensive to watch.

[Steve Covino]

There you go. That's Sam, everybody. We got Danny G. On the phones, 87799 on Fox. Dan Beyer with your updates. He's hanging out spots on the videos we're streaming live. We got a live chat going. Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube. The memes weren't very kind either. Breaking the NFL has decided to hand both the Broncos and the Raiders a loss for their performance on Thursday Night Football. Broncos dropped to 7 3. The Raiders moved to 27 because neither team looked like they wanted it. Both teams playing flat. It wasn't a defensive battle. It was just a boring, badly played game. And we'll take your thoughts on it. Bo Nicks again. Did he just have a bad week or is he just not getting better? That's the question in itself. And if you saw the press conference, I thought he handled the press well at the end because he was getting booed at home.

[Rich Davis]

And that's where I want to go next. So listen to Bo Nix. He addresses the whole home crowd, not really having his back. Take a listen. What'd you think about some of their.

[Dan Byer]

Reaction boos and that kind of thing?

[Steve Covino]

Well, I've been booed before and I'll be booed again, so not gonna be the last time. It's obviously unfortunate. You don't want your. Your own fans booing you, but, you know, it's part of it.

[Rich Davis]

You boo a team, that's terrible. If you're booing an 8 and 2 team, it's an interesting thought. Right? I mean, like, I get it. It was a boring game. You spend your hard earned money.

[Steve Covino]

Here's the major and noticeable criticism. The Broncos have a stellar offensive line. They're giving this dude plenty of time to make a play, and he's not making any plays. And if you watch, like, it's visually obvious, like they're sitting here, like, keeping them protected for so long, nothing's happening.

[Rich Davis]

Patty cake, patty cake.

[Dan Byer]

The Raiders did rush four for a lot of the night, and so they were dropping back in. Their coverage was pretty decent last night.

[Steve Covino]

But he's going to get that criticism.

[Dan Byer]

He's going to obviously face better defenses.

[Steve Covino]

There's high expectations for this guy, and I do commend him on handling it the way he did. Especially me, because I'm just a guy that's not good with criticism. I admit that I got criticism from my other gig today, and I wanted to tell the dude to kiss my ass. Did you? So, no. I sent him back a little bit of a snippy email that I'm sort of regretting. Yeah. Not. Not necessarily a nasty Graham Rich, but I did give him a piece of my mind because I'm not good with criticism. So he's getting booed from the hometown fans. He handled it well. It can't feel good. So I give him props for at Least again he's dealing with it.

[Rich Davis]

I have a thought on the booing, but more from Bo Dix Gotta do better.

[Steve Covino]

At some point, 10 points ain't gonna be enough. We gotta score more. We just have a tough and resilient football team. We find ways to win. Usually right now it's the defense leading the charge. They just continue to get us the ball back. A bunch of sacks tonight, you know, a few that were in field goal range that knocked them out. And you'll win a lot of games with the defense playing like that. And then tonight we had a little spark with some special teams plays and then, you know, we just, at some point we got to start moving the football and scoring points. I feel bad saying this because Danny G's such a Super Raiders fan, but I think sometimes your foot's not on the pedal is hard when you play down to your competition. In the back of their mind they're thinking, these are the Raiders. We got this. Even though Danny G made it clear like divisional games are always tougher and they're going to play tough. I think great teams bring out greatness. You know, great opponents bring out great performances. You see it in fighting, you see it in all sports. The Blue Jays pushed the Dodgers for a greater series. This just led for a boring game because the Broncos really didn't have to do much to win.

[Dan Byer]

I wouldn't disagree with that. But I'll also say this and, and this is from watching every Raider game this this season so far. This Pete Carroll team is not as bad as 2 and 7 now they're still under.500, but they've had a couple of close games that they lost at the end. Bears game, fourth quarter.

[Steve Covino]

Should have won that game.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, talking about that last show, they could have won that Jags game with a two point conversion. They aren't good, but they're not horrendous. They're not the worst team in the league. So that was another reason Rich, yesterday I thought the game would be a little bit closer because everybody piles on and jumps on. We saw what the offense was when it had Brock Bowers. Even though did he show up last night?

[Rich Davis]

Did you know there was a game or not?

[Dan Byer]

Geno Smith was not able to get him the ball.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, I feel like bad watching how bad Geno Smith is playing, how many picks he's throwing.

[Dan Byer]

It's been a tough season and now.

[Steve Covino]

You gotta then picking them off the ground. He's like, you gotta look at that.

[Rich Davis]

Peel them off the ground.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, they were peeling them off like he looks like he's struggling just to get up.

[Dan Byer]

It's the O line wasn't in Vegas. The O line wasn't good to begin with. But then when you lose Colton Miller at the beginning of the season to injury, he's their best O lineman. And JPJ went out with the hurt ankle and they already had three fill ins on the O line. Once JPJ went out of the game with that bad ankle, I was like, this is horrible for Genty and I don't think the Raiders are going to get back in the end zone.

[Steve Covino]

That's the other criticism. If you watch the game and if you just scroll through social media the way I do Genty people, what is he averaging, like 2 yards a carry? He's not moving the ball the way they thought he was.

[Dan Byer]

That old line gets no push.

[Steve Covino]

And so his lack of size and power in the NFL, No, I don't think that's it.

[Dan Byer]

Genti, when you see, when he gets a little bit of daylight, he can break these runs and he's a tough runner. He still leads the lead in most broken tackles right now for running back. But look at when your O line is getting no push. You saw Gino try to get that ball in. I think it was third and one and Gino didn't even make an inch. And that's been the story of their season so far.

[Rich Davis]

I wish everyone was as optimistic as you are about that.

[Dan Byer]

Sounded optimistic. I hate watching that O line in that quarterback.

[Rich Davis]

Dan Byer. Is there. Is there a more optimistic guy that bleeds silver and black the way this guy does?

[Danny G]

Danny does. He absolutely does. I don't think he's far off in saying what he's saying about this team being competitive.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, they're not that.

[Steve Covino]

You're right.

[Rich Davis]

They've lost close games. They're not. They're not 2 and 7 bad.

[Danny G]

I actually don't disagree with anything that you said. Like I think that that Covino's point about Ashton Genty is. Is correct. And yeah, he's only getting three yards of carry. And Danny's right. There's. There's no holes for him. I'll tell you something that I think it was will tell you everything you know, need to know about the Raiders is that Tyler Lockett's been there for eight minutes. And I know they made the deal for Jacoby Myers, but you talked about Brock Bowers. He led the team in targets last night. And the reason he probably led the team in targets is because Geno Smith was used to Throwing the Tyler Lockett in Seattle. So that tells me there's not a lot of offensive cohesion, that Geno Smith is defaulting, throwing back to a guy that he threw two, three seasons ago who is well past his prime in the NFL.

[Rich Davis]

It's a great point.

[Danny G]

So there's. There's just. There's a lot going. There's not a lot going right for the Raiders right now, even though it may seem that they're just not far off. I thought that that was a glaring point last night, that when they kind of needed throws, he was throwing the Tyler Lockett.

[Steve Covino]

Speaking of Gino, it was a obvious late hit on Gino.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, there were actually two because he was piled on late on the play where he got injured.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And like we said, we've seen him peel off the ground.

[Dan Byer]

You saw his legs get taken out way after the play was over, after that. So there were two missed roughing the passer calls, but still, Carlson had a chance to tie it there. And Carlson and the special teams, they've been horrible this season.

[Danny G]

The Raiders fired Tom McMahon, the special teams coordinator today. He's out.

[Dan Byer]

Not a surprise.

[Steve Covino]

But did you notice what went viral? Did you notice when it happened that Herb street, now Michaels paid no mind to the late hit? Like, really didn't acknowledge it.

[Dan Byer]

It literally. It was sort of Bronco defender took three steps to the quarterback after the play was over and then went low on his legs.

[Steve Covino]

You know, it's. It's tough watching Geno Smith, you know, struggle. You know what he's capable of. He's throwing a lot of picks. The team's not playing well. It provided for a boring Thursday Night Football game. A boring start to week 10. Your thoughts on it? And the question is this again, Bo. Nick's getting a lot of criticism. Even though he won at home. They won at home. He was getting booed. We talk about this a lot.

[Rich Davis]

And.

[Steve Covino]

Whether or not it's counterproductive. Like, if you're getting booed at home, where's the home field advantage?

[Rich Davis]

I just. I always wonder what. What people think the booing does. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Is there anything good that comes out of it? I think that lights a fire, just makes him feel bad.

[Rich Davis]

I got a twist on this. I almost feel like we should take the lead. We should start just booing people for other things.

[Steve Covino]

Boo.

[Dan Byer]

Play better.

[Rich Davis]

Boo. You go to a store. You go to a store.

[Dan Byer]

Like Spot does to you on our show.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, you ever go to a store and there's one register open and there's like 15 people and they're not opening a second register. Hey, everyone.

[Steve Covino]

Boo.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

Hey.

[Danny G]

Boo.

[Rich Davis]

You guys suck. We need another register.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

Boo.

[Steve Covino]

We should boo people more often. You're right.

[Rich Davis]

Get your coffee drink who really deserve it. Get your coffee drink. Order wrong at Starbucks. You suck, Baristas. Boo.

[Steve Covino]

Still won this past week.

[Danny G]

Giannis turning it around on the Pacers fans when they booed Miles Turner. And then he dunked on them and he booed them. Yeah, it started to catch on.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, he gave him the thumbs down and started booing the crowd.

[Steve Covino]

I get it. Because sometimes it's warranted. And I remember feeling this way, talking about Anthony Volpe this past baseball season. He was struggling so hard at shortstop with the Yankees, and the Yankees fans weren't very kind to him and letting him know they booed him every chance they got. And you have to ask yourself, is this helping him or hurting him?

[Rich Davis]

Do you like the sarcastic applause? You like the sarcastic applause when that player finally does do something? Yeah, but you're gonna.

[Steve Covino]

Here's the thing. Here's the wild part about it. You're gonna get booed when you're away, right? When you struggle, when you stink, you're gonna get booed. No. Do you fans. Don't the opposing fans cheer when you.

[Rich Davis]

Screw up and you do poorly? Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Well, you don't want to get booed at home. Oh, it's just.

[Rich Davis]

What do you call it? A false. False start.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, they get booed when they run onto the field and they run back.

[Steve Covino]

Into the tunnel, whether it be your home field or, like, you don't want to be hassled, haggled, harassed. You don't want to hear any nitpicking like, yeah, when you're home, do you want to be bothered at all? It's your home. That's his home field. They won. He got booed. He's a young quarterback, like we said, if you think about it as a stock, and I believe. Believe Colin was talking about, like, even Peyton Manning struggled in his fourth season. He's still moving upward. He may be plateauing like a stock, but he's still moving upward, struggling. As far as I see it, they're seven and two like we said, so eight and two now. So is it warranted or not? And Rich, I really do like your spin. Who really deserves those booze?

[Rich Davis]

I'll be honest. You know who deserves booing?

[Steve Covino]

Who else? Because I.

[Rich Davis]

People at the front desk of a car rental place. What are you trying to sell us? Do you want the insurance? Hold on. With a boo. Boo. Boo.

[Steve Covino]

Boo.

[Rich Davis]

I think we just start booing people. Yo. The person that doesn't go in the light turns green because they're looking at their phone. Don't honk. Roll down your window. Boom.

[Steve Covino]

Thumbs down. That's funny.

[Danny G]

The newer cars, a boo is going to replace a honk. I think that would be a great way to do it.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I got boop. 2D bags that I encountered today. The guy who just takes up like two parking spots, you know, he deserves some boost, clearly. But the person that doesn't put their shopping cart back. Oh, man. And sometimes I live in a condo. I live in a condo complex. And get this, there's always like a shopping cart. So you could bring like groceries up and down through the elevators. When you live like in an apartment style setting, people leave the shopping carts in the elevator and they just leave them there like trash bags. Boo these people. Well, the thing is, so who else does? Who really deserves.

[Rich Davis]

Think about other forms.

[Steve Covino]

Got the win yesterday.

[Rich Davis]

Think about other forms of entertainment. It's. I just think it's funny how sports athletics, we have this open invitation to boo who we love. Meaning if you're a Denver Broncos fan.

[Steve Covino]

Right.

[Rich Davis]

Follow this line of thinking. You're a Broncos fan. They're 8 and 2, but you're so dissatisfied with Bo Nicks that you're booing him.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Imagine going to see your favorite comic. Joe Coy, Bert Kreischer, Sebastian Maniscalco, Dave Chappelle. Imagine if you like Timmy. No breaks, Timmy, no breaks. Get this. Imagine you're like, yeah, I'm not really feeling this set. Booo.

[Steve Covino]

I'm not that kind of guy. Hecklers do that. But you know what? Yo, we should all boo Rich. I caught him, dude. First of all, there's nothing worse. People bringing donuts or treats to the office or whatever. The other day I walked in here, I saw that big giant pink box of donuts sitting there on the counter. I was so excited. I opened it up and there's nothing inside. So to the a hole that leaves the empty box or the empty carton of milk at home. You know, the person who leaves the empty thing that full. I threw them so hard. But I caught Rich about to do that same thing. Here he was about to leave an empty box here in the kitchen. What's in the box for the next. Yeah, nothing's in the box. You don't leave an empty box.

[Rich Davis]

I had this pulled on me recently and I felt like I wanted to return the favorite.

[Steve Covino]

My mom used to Be why did.

[Rich Davis]

You put the milk carton back in the fridge when there's this much milk in there?

[Steve Covino]

And I'm like, I don't know.

[Rich Davis]

And then I've, like, learned I changed that behavior.

[Steve Covino]

Yo, can I boo someone? Whoever's. Let's just say whoever's messy in this men's bathroom here at Fox Sports Radio, they deserve some booze.

[Rich Davis]

They never know they got the aim of Geno Smith in the pocket.

[Steve Covino]

Exactly what I mean.

[Dan Byer]

You know what's going on there. Look at these short memories. Less than a month ago, the Broncos stunned the Giants with that last second field goal in that historic comeback, 33 to 32. Yeah, we're all on the edge of our seats watching that. Both. Bo Nix was a hero. And now this quickly, they're booing him. Yeah, that's what surprised me.

[Steve Covino]

That's what's crazy about it.

[Danny G]

How much do you think? Because I think it's a big part, the games that these teams played last week. So the Raiders went into overtime. Played the entire overtime period with Jacksonville. So now you got a short Thursday game. The Broncos were in a fist fight with the Houston Texans. Two defensive teams going at it. I felt that there was a little bit. They're spent anyhow, and it's. And you look at Rich's 49ers team, look at the performance they put up against earlier this year on a short week. So it's not an excuse. But if you wonder maybe why both teams are kind of lackluster, it could have been just what happened.

[Steve Covino]

That's fair.

[Danny G]

Couple of days ago.

[Steve Covino]

That's really fair. That makes a lot of sense. Actually, Dan brings up a good point because after the game, the guys on the Amazon prime broadcast were like, this is like, you're in week nine, week ten. It's a Thursday night game. You win ten, seven, you move on. Like, they're not going to remember this game. It was just another win on their.

[Rich Davis]

Belt, honestly, for the Broncos. Good for you. I mean, like, you played like trash. It was boring. It was a Thursday night on your calendar, on your schedule. This is not a game you look forward to. No NFL player or coach likes the Thursday game. So when you can escape the Thursday game without major injury and pick up a dub, as my dude Fred Warner would say, dub city. If you could pick up a dub, then do you just move on to the next week and say, put that in the rear view and say, let's, let's.

[Steve Covino]

You know, that was dud city.

[Dan Byer]

You put it in the rear view. As long as none of that stink carries over to the. Their battle against the Chiefs coming up.

[Steve Covino]

So your thoughts. And again, the foot, the fans booing Bo Nicks at home. Your thoughts on that? Like I said, I think he handled it well. I guess this. He handled it like Bob from La Bamba. Not my first or my last. It's not the last time, and it's just part of the game, but what a bunch of weenies. Boo.

[Rich Davis]

Dare I look ahead? You know, I do like a little schedule watching.

[Steve Covino]

Let's do it.

[Rich Davis]

Is that cool?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, sure. Okay. And then we'll get to everyone's feedback.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, boy.

[Steve Covino]

The rich loves to look at the.

[Rich Davis]

Schedule, schedule, game, schedule watching. Yeah. Love schedule watching. So this Broncos team that, as Dan Beyer pointed out, had a battle with the Texans, like, in the trenches, like, you know, that was a hell of a game, right? Broncos win a close one. They win another close one last night in a. In a game where their young star quarterback is booed. They're at home tv. The only thing you could say good about last night, the uniforms.

[Danny G]

Yes. They both looked very sharp.

[Rich Davis]

Broncos, I love. They got to officially change back to the old school Broncos. I feel like my brother, who's a Broncos fan, was telling me that all the fan groups are really pushing for the Broncos to really consider.

[Steve Covino]

It looks more exciting.

[Danny G]

It could really work if they're getting the new stadium that they. That they plan to build, like, that's a way to do it. And I would say this, that the uniforms that they normally wear now that we call their super bowl winning uniforms, those could work as a throwback.

[Rich Davis]

So throwback to the Elway championship.

[Danny G]

Just reverse it.

[Rich Davis]

Do the old reversal. And Danny Garrett, I'm surprised you don't rock one of those. Those road Raiders jerseys, the white with the silver and the black outline.

[Steve Covino]

Those are sweet.

[Dan Byer]

I have one. It's a Mari Cooper, though.

[Rich Davis]

Those are sweet as hell. So anyway, Broncos coming off of two really defensive battles. 10, 7. And last week, both teams scored under 20 right. Against it. Was it 1815 or 1817. So the ridiculous. They play at home against the Chiefs next week. So that. That will be a really big litmus test. They better be rested up for that AFC west picture. So your boy Mahomes, they got the bye week. They're going to be coming off a buy, and they're going to be ready to go. So that'll be a real big test for Bo Nicks, Sean Payton, and the Broncos at home against the Chiefs. The Chiefs are 5 and 4 and you know, they're looking for, they're looking to really get back in this division where the Broncos could sort of, you know, the Broncos could legit distance themselves in first place if they win that game 9 and 2. And you would have the Chiefs at 5 and 5. That is a monstrous game for the Denver Broncos to put all these boos and noise behind them. You beat the Chiefs in a week, you're golden, baby.

[Steve Covino]

And the way this season's gone so far, it could happen because there's no rhyme or reason this 2025 season. And we're going to get to your phone calls and feedback your thoughts on the debut of Week 10. The Broncos barely beaten these week, Week 10, barely beating the Raiders. And who deserves these boos? Who actually deserves these BO in sports, in life, plus Rich's big TV game of the week, we all, we get to it all next on Fox Sports Radio.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

Boo.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. In sports and in life. Who? Who in life? Deserv. Booze. I'm telling you, there's plenty of stores you go to that deserve booze. You know what deserves booze? People that rev their car engines. Who are you trying to. Who are you trying to impress?

[Steve Covino]

How about when you go to a store, they don't even greet you in today's world? Then they have the nerve to ask for a tip. My tip. How about you get booed right now?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, I know. You know who deserves a boo? The people that flip the screen and they act like they don't know what they're up to. Like it's going to ask you a question.

[Steve Covino]

It's just gonna ask you a few questions. We know the stupid questions. Boo you.

[Dan Byer]

How about the school drop off lines in the morning where the parent doesn't pull all the way forward, and so the lines backed up to the street because of that one parent that wants to give their kid. Like, here you go. Right at the gate, right at the entrance.

[Steve Covino]

You gotta start giving thumbs down where they're deserved.

[Rich Davis]

All right, Mo and Tempe. Mo, who should be getting the booze? Man, what's up?

[Steve Covino]

All right, I got two. Two issues. One, whoever was not rooting for the Dodgers, living in America, rooting for Rogan, for Canada. Boo to you.

[Rich Davis]

Boo to you.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. And number number two, whoever's in the drive through and you mess up my order and you act like you're mad at me. Boo to you. You know, that's a good One in itself. The drive through. No matter what, without fail, right? You'll get go. You'll go to the drive thru, you get your order. And no, without fail, it's always wrong. It's just always. You should go right back to the window, thumbs down, just boo them.

[Rich Davis]

The person that forgets to give you the sauce that you asked for multiple times. You get home and it's not there. And you know what happens?

[Steve Covino]

You're the guy that takes the booze, which sucks because if you're, if you go and pick up the food, let's say, let's say you order takeout. Your wife will always say something like, make sure they put the sauces in there. Make sure they put bread inside. And then you, you go to the guy like, is everything in here? Yeah, everything's in there. You get home and it's not there.

[Rich Davis]

Tony's prince, they forgot the orange beef.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. And then, and then your wife and your kids and everyone's mad again. You start getting all these stray booze and it's like, nah, you got to go back to that takeout place and boo that person or boo them next time. Because it's always wrong. There's always something.

[Rich Davis]

Can I tell you? Someone did something that bothered me. I got a breakfast burrito for my kid. My 5 year old, believe it or not, loves a chorizo egg and cheese sandwich. Like a little. But like a burrito, a little breakfast burrito, chorizo, egg and cheese. And I said five times, no beans. No beans. He doesn't want the sloppy beans on his nice little breakfast burrito they put a ton of beans on. I call him, I go, I told you. They go, all right, come back, but make sure you bring it. Don't you believe me? What is it? Dissect it or what?

[Steve Covino]

You want to dissect it? You want to look at it?

[Rich Davis]

I hate it. I was like, give me a free one.

[Steve Covino]

I wanna boo your little son. No beans in his breakfast burrito.

[Rich Davis]

You want it in a breakfast burrito?

[Steve Covino]

He's gotta get his fiber.

[Rich Davis]

Mexican, is he breakfast? He's trans Mexican. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

By the way, rich little white boy.

[Rich Davis]

That identifies as Mexican.

[Steve Covino]

Who cut your hair.

[Rich Davis]

What?

[Steve Covino]

Cause I wanna boo him. Oh, that's a boo, man. I'm just kidding.

[Rich Davis]

Cold blooded.

[Steve Covino]

I'm just kidding. But I'm saying if you get a weak haircut, maybe you spin back around. Cause they always spin you into the mirror and you got the stupid cap, like a big fat face, big fat head. If you got a bad haircut you spin right back around back.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

Boom.

[Steve Covino]

This haircut sucks.

[Rich Davis]

No, I love it.

[Steve Covino]

So anyway, thank you guys. Let's go to the phone.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, someone that doesn't know how to go through TSA security. Someone that doesn't know how to use self checkout. I can make a good one.

[Steve Covino]

Anyone holding up the line, Anyone that's.

[Rich Davis]

Holding up your day deserves to be booed. Bo Nick style. Let's say how to. Phil in pen what's up, Phil?

[Steve Covino]

Hey, what's going on, guys? How you doing tonight?

[Rich Davis]

We're good.

[Steve Covino]

Man up. Nice. Yeah, so actually I was just thinking the same one. Somebody said self checkout. Like all my work that I have to do to spend money at these places. Like I am booing the self checkout hardcore.

[Rich Davis]

How about booing the people that said you can't put alcohol at self checkout? Like you? I'll show you my idea. Whatever you need. But like, I don't want to have to wait in the long line with, no offense, like 80 year old ladies with coupons just because I'm buying a six pack of High Noons.

[Steve Covino]

So you're saying that buying the booze deserves booze?

[Rich Davis]

Correct?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. I feel aggravated having this conversation. I just realized that life is just full of people that really deserve booze.

[Dan Byer]

At Target, I feel like I should get an employee discount every time I wait in line for their self checkout.

[Steve Covino]

How about at the pharmacy? You just gotta. You gotta ring a bell just to have someone open a cabinet just to get deodorant. And you have to wait five minutes.

[Rich Davis]

For that because vagrants are still eating deodorant. I'm going to boo Cavino.

[Steve Covino]

That's good though. Hobo's using deodorant.

[Rich Davis]

That's a good thing. You should let if they're going to steal something. Deodorant's not a bad one. I'm going to boo Cavino because he's in the category of someone we'd all boo. Cavino's the guy that gets up the minute the plane lands.

[Steve Covino]

That is such a lie.

[Rich Davis]

You stand up.

[Steve Covino]

Stretching his legs.

[Rich Davis]

Spot, back me up if I did.

[Steve Covino]

It once because I was trying to catch a connect.

[Rich Davis]

No, no, no.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah. Covino stands up, but Rich claps. I'm not sure which one's worse.

[Steve Covino]

And he ass claps.

[Danny G]

Which is really.

[Rich Davis]

We once walked to the front of.

[Steve Covino]

The plane the second it landed.

[Rich Davis]

Like cut off everybody in the plane.

[Steve Covino]

These are rumors. Sir. The fastest seatbelt sign is still lit. These are rumors.

[Rich Davis]

Let's go to Seattle. And David. David, who deserves to get booed Bo Nick style. Last night, the Broncos, I think the.

[Steve Covino]

Game itself needed to get booed.

[Rich Davis]

I agree. Maybe it was less at Bo Nix and more just the weak ass game because they're 8 and 2. They've had a couple rough defensive battles. You know, Bo Nicks goes into this. If Bo Nicks goes on next week to lead the team to beat the Chiefs and take a three game lead. I'm sorry, that would be a. Yeah, a three game lead in the loss column over the Chiefs. You can't be booing this guy anymore.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but I do. I understand it from this standpoint. If you're booing the game, like you're just booing the event because you're harder money on Thursday night. You dragged your family to this.

[Dan Byer]

No, but that's not what it was because the Broncos defense was playing well. Well, it was the offense that they were directing their booze at.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, no, I know. I. I get that. But if it was booing the game, I. I understand. In general, it's like when you go and watch a prize fight or you see on TV where there's no action and people just get restless. They're like, we paid all this money to watch this game or this pay per view.

[Rich Davis]

Boo.

[Steve Covino]

Bring some action. We just want action, man.

[Rich Davis]

We've been to fights where the crowd got a little restless. Little restless by like round eight or nine or ten, because it's like, yo, you've done nothing.

[Steve Covino]

It's boring. Nothing's happening. And that's how it felt last night, bugging each other. It felt. That's how the game felt. Like neither team really wanted to win that bad.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's go to Seattle, say hi to Dave, and then we'll go to Dan Buyer for an update. What's up, David?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, hey, guys.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you. So you know who I want to boo is. I do pre removals, like, hazardous dead, dying stuff.

[Danny G]

I just spent the last six hours.

[Rich Davis]

In an uprooting maple, and I want to boo every Karen and Darren that.

[Steve Covino]

Comes up and says, you got a permit for that? You got a permit for that? Busy bodies, busy body. Mind your business. I get it. Hey, Rich, have you ever gone to a theater and the movie was that bad where people actually booed the movie? Because that would be pretty brutal. I've never seen that. But, you know, there's certain movies that do terrible movies.

[Rich Davis]

Have you ever left a movie because you're like, I've just.

[Steve Covino]

No, but I hear people. Well, my mom dragged me out when I was a kid. I remember she's like, this is too violent and raunchy for me for my little.

[Rich Davis]

She took you out, little boy ears.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, it was embarrassing as hell. But I do hear stories of people leaving because the movie's that bad. Didn't you say you didn't finish a movie?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I walked out of American Hustle. Just walked out.

[Steve Covino]

I walked out with 10 minutes left. I was just, it just wasn't, it wasn't vibing with me. I don't. I've never walked out of a movie. I hear a few people say, like it was so bad they stopped watching and left the movie. So anyway, let's implement this in life where it's, where it's more deserved and your thoughts. Wrap up your phone calls. Plus Rich's big TV game of the week and Brainwash Wave. But first, an update from Dan Byers.

[Rich Davis]

This better be good.

[Danny G]

I'm not a big movie guy, but I've never understood why people applaud after movies.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, it's that made me think, yeah.

[Danny G]

There'S nobody here related to what you just watched, so what's the point? The Raiders said, what's the point of keeping our special teams coordinator if they're gonna miss field goals, block our punts, miss extra points, the whole deal. They fired special teams coordinator Tom McMahon a day after that 107 loss to Denver last night. Now Rich looking ahead to the 49ers taking on the Rams in the Bay Area on Sunday. Mac Jones is going to start for San Francisco. There is a possibility where Brock Purdy could be active for the game, but Mac Jones is going to start for the Niners. Commanders quarterback Jaden Daniels won't need surgery on his injured elbow. He'll be evaluated during their buy in week 12. Commanders have the Lions coming to town this Sunday. President Trump expected to be in attendance. Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. Going to miss Sunday's game in Houston. Bears running back DeAndre Swift questionable to face the Giants. While the Patriots will not have running back Romandre Stevenson against the Buccaneers, he's missing a second straight game because of a toe injury. Bill's running back James Cook, no injury designation. He'll start on Sunday against the Dolphins. Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown appeared before a judge today in New Jersey as he faces attempted murder charges as he will now be taken back to Florida. Japanese third baseman Minitaka Murakami is entering the posting system. The slugger owns the npb. Single season home run record. Could fetch a nine figure deal here In Major League Baseball and a couple of NBA notes. Lakers guard Austin Reeves out tomorrow against the Hawks. He's going to miss another game. Spurs guard Darren Fox to make his season debut against the Pelicans tomorrow. Guys, back to you.

[Rich Davis]

So they'll sandwich that guy in between, like Mookie and Freddie in the lineup and just perfect, right?

[Danny G]

See you later. Yeah. Yep.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, Wes hit us up in Vegas and he goes, are you sure? Remember, like Mookie Wilson or Mookie Bets. Like, sometimes the crowd will go like, moo. And you're like, oh, they're booing.

[Steve Covino]

Are you sure it wasn't like Sweet.

[Rich Davis]

Lou Lou if it wasn't like Bo, Bo Nicks, Bo Smithers.

[Steve Covino]

Are they. Are they booing me? No, they're saying, boo.

[Rich Davis]

Urns.

[Steve Covino]

Boo.

[Rich Davis]

Urns. Boo.

[Steve Covino]

Good one.

[Rich Davis]

[Rich Davis]

Extra cash for you. Hey, we're doing it live from the Fox Sports radio studio. You know it's time for our tire rack play of the day. Both teams should have got an L after last night. But we got to find some highlight. The Broncos special teams did it. Broncos look like they may pressure this a bit. Snap is good.

[Danny G]

They do bring some pressure and they get to it.

[Rich Davis]

They block in the balls bouncing around. Picked up Denver's football inside the Raider 15 yard line. Tyler Bidet recovered the block. Once you get a bidet you never go back.

[Steve Covino]

Bidets usually ass. But he got the recovery there. That's courtesy of KOA Broncos radio network. Get it? Bidet yeah, we got you Radio network. And that's our Tire Rack play of the day.

[Rich Davis]

You know, I'm still in this Dan Buyer guillotine league, and my quarterback's out this week, Mahomes. I'm going to ask you what I what guys come up to me and ask all the time because we work at Fox Sports Radio. Do you know how many dads at the school or guys I play softball with? Like, yo, yo, Rich, you work for Fox Sports. Who should I start? This guy or this guy?

[Steve Covino]

I just refer them to. I want your flex podcast.

[Rich Davis]

Dan Byer.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, refer him to Dan Byer. He's the expert.

[Rich Davis]

Dan Byers. We're in the same league, so he's probably not going to want to give me advice. Mac Jones against the Rams or Caleb Williams against the Giants.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, Caleb Williams, Giants, no doubt.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, last time Mac Jones played the Rams, he threw from over 3 hundo, a couple tutties. I don't know.

[Danny G]

I'd go Spencer Rattler because he's not going to play against the Panthers. No, I like Gavino's advice. I'll take. I'll go with Kavino's advice.

[Rich Davis]

Okay. Thank you, DB.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you, Dan.

[Rich Davis]

And again, Dan Byer does his fantasy sports podcast. I want your flex. Thank you, DB Now, Kavino, we're going to get the big game tv, the big TV games of the week coming up in just a little bit. Any final thoughts on last night's game or anything for that matter?

[Steve Covino]

No, not really. There's not a whole lot to talk about. It was a boring game. It really was. And I'm sad to say that I feel like most people had that game on and it was just on. You weren't glued to it. It was just background noise. It was there, and that's what it was for me. So, yeah, just a boring start to the week, and let's just hope that the rest of the game step up.

[Rich Davis]

Can I give you another. Can I give you another observation?

[Steve Covino]

That, and I think again, Bo Nicks is getting a lot of criticism this week.

[Rich Davis]

You feel a little bit extra sleepy, too, because it's so dark out early now that you put this game on. You feel like it's so late already.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

It's like the worst time of the Year like you get home, didn't feel.

[Dan Byer]

Like the rest of the country.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, exactly. Most of our affiliates listen to us.

[Steve Covino]

You know, on the east coast coasters.

[Dan Byer]

Don't realize we're usually watching the Monday and Thursday game when it's blazing hot outside.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Now it's like nighttime. What is going on here?

[Steve Covino]

But I think on the Raiders side, you have to ask yourself, is Pete Carroll the guy? You know, are we just buying time? And with the Broncos, you have to ask yourself, is Bo Nix really the guy?

[Ad/Promo Voice]

Well.

[Steve Covino]

Or do we have to draft a quarterback?

[Rich Davis]

I have a theory, and it has to do with placeholders. Do you mind if I just throw this out there for a few minutes, then we'll get to the big TV games a little bit?

[Steve Covino]

Sure.

[Rich Davis]

In life, relationships, at the workplace, in so many layers and aspects of life, people accept the fact that they're a placeholder. When you're a middle of the road baseball team and you're like the third or fourth starter in a rotation, you know that, that, like, there's the expectation is like, you're probably going to pitch. 500 at best. That's the reality of who you are. When. When you're an older guy or an older woman and you have a position at work and you know that eventually they're going to want to hand that position over to someone younger and you're like, I'm sort of just the placeholder. Are you okay being the placeholder? If you're Geno Smith, are you okay knowing, dude, I got paid. I don't give a crap. I got paid, paid, paid. I know I'm not going to win a Super bowl for the Raiders. I don't think Geno Smith, even though. Even if he's the most optimistic, I believe in myself type of guy, there's a reality where it's like, yo, Geno and the Raiders, it's never going to happen. But you're going to look back one year, Danny, in a decade from now.

[Steve Covino]

Be like, you want to compete proudly.

[Rich Davis]

I remember those. Those years you're really just hoping to maybe. What, compete? We've all dated someone where it's like, you know, I really enjoy her company. She's. She's hot. Yeah, we have good sex. We get along enough, but I'm not marrying her. And there's plenty of women that have probably dated. You said the same, like, yeah, I have fun with that dude, but he's not like, forever. Are you okay being the placeholder? In any aspect of life? Because in sports, any team that's not at the top tier. Chasing a championship. Deep down inside, they have to know I'm a placeholder.

[Steve Covino]

Think about it. We'll discuss it next. Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich Davis]
