Overview

This episode of The Dan Patrick Show (Covino & Rich segment) is action-packed with rapid-fire coverage of the NFL’s wild free agency period, breaking news from both the NFL and NBA, and an energetic take on sports and pop culture headlines. The hosts bounce between the chaos in the NFL—big-name moves, franchise-defining signings, and contract drama—and the NBA’s headline-canceling of Atlanta’s ‘Magic City Night.’ The episode is filled with humor, references to 80s nostalgia, and a lively debate about sports, society, and even bachelor party trends.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. NFL Free Agency Frenzy

• Immediate Recap of Major Moves (04:00–15:00)

  • The opening segments focus on the sheer madness of NFL free agency, likened to “Black Friday shopping” (04:40, Dan Byers).
  • Surprising deals: Gardner Minshew to the Cardinals, Mike Evans to the 49ers, Kenneth Walker III to the Chiefs, Tyler Linderbaum to the Raiders, and a host of high-profile signings/trades.
  • Major themes: Some teams are hyper-aggressive (49ers, Raiders), others (Broncos, Patriots, Seahawks) are noticeably quiet.
  • Notable fan reactions dissected: the joy and anxiety of loyal followers waiting for their teams to “make a move.”

• Impactful Moves Analyzed (09:40–15:00)

  • Mike Evans to 49ers debated as “sweet pickup,” but there are concerns about his age/injury history.
    • “Evans is a sweet pickup for you guys, but he does feel like a really old 32.” – Covino [10:40]
  • Max Crosby’s trade to the Ravens discussed as bittersweet but ultimately a win-win for both teams.
  • Raiders’ flurry of moves, shoring up their O-line to protect new assets, likened to “getting two first-round picks” with the Linderbaum signing (12:55, Danny G).

• Quarterback Shake-Up

  • Malik Willis to the Dolphins (3-year/$67.5M)—Is it a leap of faith?
    • “That’s a big leap of faith. No, I’m not saying that’s correct.” – Rich Davis [17:28]
  • Tua Tagovailoa to Falcons on a reported 1-year, $1.3M deal—what does that mean for Pennix Jr. and organizational direction?
  • NFL’s dominance in the news cycle even with MLB's World Baseball Classic surging in excitement.
    • “Remember who the king is.” – Rich Davis [05:21]

2. Breaking News: Magic City Night Cancelled by the NBA

• The Announcement & Immediate Reaction (19:15–24:00)

  • Dan Byers breaks in with double breaking news: Travis Kelce returning to the Chiefs and, more significantly, the NBA canceling the Hawks’ “Magic City Night.”
  • Reading of Adam Silver’s statement about concerns from “fans, partners, and employees” leading to cancellation [19:25].
    • “I believe canceling this promotion is the right decision for the broader NBA community.” – Adam Silver (statement read by Dan Byers) [19:25]
  • Hosts debate the competing sides—celebrating an Atlanta institution versus concerns of glamorizing strip club culture.
    • “If you’re also in partnership with the WNBA… I don’t know if a strip club night is the greatest look.” – Covino [20:14]
    • “Let’s not try to glorify it…we live in a world now where you can’t stripper shame.” – Rich Davis [22:09]
  • Cultural perspective: Is Magic City “more than a strip club” or are we sugarcoating?

• Society, Morality & Sports Marketing

  • Discussion extends to how family-friendly branding must take precedence (NFL as an example, 24:02).
  • “What’s the most successful league that we promote here? NFL…family fun, that’s what they lean into most.” – Covino [24:02]
  • Acknowledgment of hypocrisy, generational views, and two-sided truths about societal norms and entertainment.

3. Pop Culture, Nostalgia, & Bachelor Party Trends

• Shifting Tastes: Magicians Replace Strippers at Bachelorette Parties (35:00–38:40)

  • Rich brings up a New York Post trend: magicians are now in demand at women's parties over traditional male strippers.
    • “The new bachelorette party trend? Magicians.” – Rich Davis [35:58]
  • Hosts joke about whether this represents growing maturity, changing needs, or just a funny societal shift.
  • Fun digression into childhood experiences with party magicians and the lasting embarrassment a poorly-timed surprise can create.

• Social Media Reflection

  • Quick motivational note: “You’re not ugly, you’re just on your phone too much.” Comparison thefts joy; don’t let social media warp your self-perception (45:33–46:33).

So listen, also, a big day for the NFL.

[Rich Davis]

It would be crazy if we didn't start with a lot of free agency chatter.

[Steve Covino]

NFL is bonkers, as Rich keeps saying. Again, you can stream us live. We streaming live as we speak. Feedback coming in. Got to pop the YouTube chat. Remember bonkers the candy?

[Rich Davis]

I was thinking that as soon as you said that. Bonkers.

[Steve Covino]

Do you remember that?

[Rich Davis]

Of course.

[Steve Covino]

They were like. Like chewy, sort of High chews. They were like high chews right before High Chews.

[Rich Davis]

Do you know what hi.

[Steve Covino]

Shoes are?

[Rich Davis]

High Chews are what I. What I consider like the bootleg Starburst. Right?

[Steve Covino]

They're not bootleg. I think they're Japanese, aren't they?

[Dan Byers]

I don't know.

[Steve Covino]

I don't think they're bootleg at all.

[Cino]

Look at that.

[Rich Davis]

Bonkers. You're right.

[Steve Covino]

Bonkers was big. 80s candy. But yeah, NFL's bonkers. And we'll explain why. Like Dan Byer dropping more nuggets. I heard a Gardner Minshew in there. I didn't know that he's a Cardinal now, so. Covino, Rich, Danny G. Sam, and of course, the consummate professional, the great Dan Byers.

[Rich Davis]

Did I hear a Lindenbaum in there, too? Did I hear a yes? I mean, my goodness. It's one of those days where. How do I. I'm trying to think of an analogy and I can't even think of one. Where if you dip away for a little bit, you come back and you're like, wait, what happened while? I don't know. Went to the bathroom.

[Steve Covino]

Catch me up to speed again. What was that?

[Rich Davis]

Where are we? Was I in a coma for an hour? What's up, D.B. how you doing, buddy?

[Dan Byers]

It's. It's truly like the Black Friday shopping of back in the day. Like, where if you were to go shopping Friday at like 2 o' clock in the afternoon, everything's gone. All of this stuff that happened happened in the first three hours of the day or of the store opening. And there's more stuff pouring in now. But it's only been four, five hours since this window has opened and it's just been a barrage of news.

[Steve Covino]

You know, wild about it, too, of course. You know, free agency, I get it. But, you know, we're so hyped on baseball and how electric it looks with the WBC right now. Like, man, look at these Latin countries. These Latin players really showing us how it's done. Look at the excitement. Baseball's back. Not that it isn't, but NFL starts making these moves and it goes right back to the NFL.

[Rich Davis]

Remember who the king is.

[Steve Covino]

Just like that.

[Rich Davis]

NFL pretty much gave a sarcastic laugh. Like, oh, you want attention?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, that's cute. You guys are celebrating.

[Rich Davis]

It's like Tom Brady telling Logan Paul he's athletic. Oh, that's cute.

[Steve Covino]

Right? And because of all these bonker moves that we're going to go over, we'll do some Showtime Mahomes trivia today. Your chance to win some prizes. A CNR prize pack of mini Nerf footballs and Koozies and radio swag. But ours is next level dope, so stick around for that.

[Danny G]

You think our broke Mahomes is going to be braggadocious about his new running back?

[Steve Covino]

He's going to have to be. Yeah, I would imagine so. Yeah. Showtime of homes. We'll talk to him later and get the scoop from him because again, moves are being made.

[Rich Davis]

Now let's go over some of these moves. Let's you know what it's like, Rich.

[Steve Covino]

Well, for me, on the rock side of things, right. You know, people are freaking out about

[Rich Davis]

Metallic at the Sphere. Yes.

[Steve Covino]

You know, not only are Rich and I here every day, our favorite place to be on Fox Sports Radio, but we also host music channels. Rich does pop stuff. I do rock stuff. Right. It seems like every three minutes there's an update on what's going on with Metallica at the sphere. So there's one minute. I'm like, yep, they just announced three more dates. Wait, check that. They just announced seven more dates. Wait, check THAT. They just announced ten more dates the Sphere. It's like every time I say something, there's an update because people are freaking out about it.

[Rich Davis]

Today's a day where Dan Buyer is really probably refreshing every two minutes.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, without a doubt.

[Rich Davis]

DB Are you on the refresh today

[Dan Byers]

or what it is? I put my phone down, honestly, and three minutes later, it's like 10 new notifications of what has gone on. It's been. It really. I mean, it slowed A little bit. But that's just, you know, relative to what we had in the first three hours of today.

[Rich Davis]

Let me give you the analogy. You know, in like junior high or high school, when you're the last. Were you the last guy to, like, kiss a girl?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And you feel like.

[Steve Covino]

I feel like you're speaking from experience.

[Rich Davis]

No, I was like, middle of the pack. I, I, I made out in eighth grade.

[Steve Covino]

Eighth grade for me, too. If you want to be honest, I feel like I was a little late myself.

[Rich Davis]

There were kids that were like kissing the playground in sixth grade and you're like, yo, little hoes.

[Steve Covino]

They also had full grown beards and mustaches.

[Rich Davis]

And then there are the people that didn't go until college.

[Steve Covino]

They look like they're 90 now too, though. As my mom would say in Spanish, you start early, you end early.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, so you say. Mom said if you had a beer in high school, you're probably dead.

[Steve Covino]

But that guy looks like he's 85 now.

[Rich Davis]

My point is sometimes when you feel like everyone else is doing something that you're not. My brother hit me up today, and he's a big Broncos fan and he's just sitting around being like, I guess, like, I guess no moves better than

[Steve Covino]

a bad move, right?

[Rich Davis]

I guess. I'm guessing the Broncos are sort of. Not really. They didn't pull the trigger on anything big today, right?

[Dan Byers]

Yeah, the Broncos, they brought back J.K.

[Rich Davis]

dobbins, who's injury prone. That's what my brother's like. Yeah, we did, we brought back a running back who's, I guess it's all right.

[Dan Byers]

Yeah, they lost John Franklin Myers, defensive lineman to the Titans was one of the deal. But yeah, there hasn't been a, hasn't been a busy day for Denver.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. So I was like, there are teams out there that are like, yeah, we're not doing anything. And then there's teams that are making moves where you're like, is it good? I don't know.

[Dan Byers]

Yeah. And just to follow up on that, the, the teams, the Rams have been busy because they're acquiring of Trent McDuffie. They've done those sort of things. But the Seahawks have lost a bunch of players like you would expect. Patriots haven't been active, Broncos haven't been active. They're just fresh off making championship games, and maybe their organizations are in a better spot than others.

[Rich Davis]

Of course. Yeah. The teams that just made it to the super bowl or to championship games are very, they're there. You're right. The teams that are making Big moves are the teams that are like, yo, we need to get there.

[Steve Covino]

It's like, it's, you know, an opportunity for Dan's Seahawks for those players to

[Rich Davis]

make a little money if they want to stray.

[Steve Covino]

Right? Yeah, but that's sort of what I hate about it. I understand it, but I hate that too. That was coming.

[Dan Byers]

The Kenneth Walker one is the, the one where I think everybody's standing out saying, whatever, but it's. I've said don't feel sorry for him because two months ago, and Rich knows this, before Zach Charbonnet got hurt, they were in a, you know, in a, in a basically running back by committee situation. And then Charbonnet gets hurt in the game against the 49ers and Walker has three playoff games over 100 yards, sets his mark from here to here on a contract.

[Steve Covino]

Good for him, right?

[Dan Byers]

And wins a Super bowl and a Super bowl mvp. So, yeah, all good with Kenneth Walker the third, more power to him.

[Steve Covino]

No doubt.

[Rich Davis]

No diggity, no doubt. In fact, as a 49ers fan, of course I'm getting texted all morning like, yo, Mike Evans. But the one little, one little rub, the one little is that the Niners are an aging team and you got a 32 year old wide receiver coming off a banged up season. So Mike Evans said, I got gas left in the tank. Ricky Pearsall saying, I got a comeback year headed your way. So as a Niners fan, I guess I could only be pumped, right? It's an upgrade. Mike Evans is better than any receiver they had in 20, 20, 25, 26.

[Danny G]

You saw the meme or the gif I sent you. It says, and here's iuk and he's like speeding on a freeway with a car flipping over.

[Rich Davis]

Car flipping out. Yeah, it's. I mean, where Iuko's is another question too. We talked about that the other day, but as a Niners fan, there's a lot of people being like, ooh, Mike Evans.

[Steve Covino]

I do think Evans is a sweet pickup for you guys, but he does feel like a really old 32. Like right now. When you just said he was 32, I thought he was like at least 36.

[Dan Byers]

Sure, sure.

[Steve Covino]

Right. Injuries and just how long he's been around and been impactful. Like, I feel like he slowed down. I feel like he's still a great option for you guys if he stays healthy. And that's a big if.

[Rich Davis]

DB From a Seahawks fan perspective, do you look at it and say, oh, the Niners got an old wide receiver or do you say, oh, they just got better.

[Dan Byers]

I think they got an old wide receiver.

[Rich Davis]

I don't want to think that either, too. Like, there's a part of me that as a, as a fan wants to be like, that's right. Mike Evans, he's the man. And I'm like, oh, man. The problem with the Niners is, like, Trent Williams is getting old. Kittles on the back nine. Like, you know, how many good years does McCaffrey have left? So you're think. I'm thinking as a Niners fan, this is one of those, like, now it's almost like, do or die. Like, they better get the job done or else we're looking at a whole new team in a couple of years.

[Dan Byers]

And it's tough to argue where they were because they were in contention for a division crown up until week 18. But I just, I just don't think, even with Bosa coming back, he's coming back off an injury and Fred Warner obviously was going to play if the. They could have advanced further, but they just need to get younger. And I don't think spending $20 million on a wide receiver, to Cavino's point, that has been around forever and is now having injury history. He was hurt this past year, was hurt, you know, year or two ago as well. So I just don't understand that thought process in trying to catch not only the Seahawks, but the Rams as well.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I feel like I feel like Mike Evans played during the Clinton administration.

[Steve Covino]

Like, feels that way. I feel like, yeah, definitely feels that way. Um, so again, moves are being made. We haven't even gotten Danny G's reaction on Max Crosby, dude, I mean, were you prepared, like mentally prepared for that as we talked about it time coming

[Danny G]

on the show Friday? Yeah, we. We kind of knew it was coming. It was very bittersweet. But then today, Raider Nation celebrating as they shore up that O line, which was the emphasis this offseason, of course, because if you're going to, you know, use that number one pick on Fernando Mendoza, you gotta protect your assets.

[Steve Covino]

It's like a divorce. You knew that was coming anyway, so everyone's like, dude, I'm so sorry. Like, yeah, we've been living in separate houses for the past year. We're good. Yeah, I'm good on it.

[Danny G]

But then to sign away center Tyler Linder bomb from the Ravens, it almost feels like you got two first round picks and a player from the Ravens, which is kind of cool.

[Rich Davis]

Danny G. When you look at where the Raiders we. We said this on Friday we sort of called it. We said there's a strategy to getting rid of. Even though he's such a great player. You know, Max Crosby and the Ravens needed to do something on defense. They, they needed to show something because the Ravens makes sense for them.

[Danny G]

They've lost games because of their lack of a pass rush.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, correct me if you think I'm wrong, but first round draft picks are a very high value. But I feel like so many times it's when you're looking for your next quarterback like you want, like when you're looking for that franchise guy, they got Lamar Jackson, that's, that's their guy for the foreseeable future. And they got Max Crosby, who is arguably, you know, the face of your defense moving forward for a while. I think it made sense for both sides because the Raiders weren't there yet. So Max Crosby could have, you could arguably have said by the time he's, by the time they're ready, Max Crosby might be old. And by the way, Kittle, I just saw welcome Mike Evans to the Bay.

[Steve Covino]

No, I think that's good, but like you said, it doesn't give him a lot of wiggle room. It's like a now sort of situation.

[Dan Byers]

Sorry, Kov, did you see the Lamar Jackson tweet to Dan Orlovsky?

[Rich Davis]

Please share.

[Dan Byers]

This was five hours ago. This was after an episode or whatever of get up that Dan Orlofsky was on. And Orlofsky, quote, tweeted it and said, gotta get it done. It's been that way. It's even greater now on the show, said that no more excuses for Lamar. Lamar tweeted Dan. There's never, there has never been excuses for Lamar though. And I thought it was interesting that Lamar, you know, would respond to that sort of thing. And I think that it is in two camps, like do you provide excuses for Lamar Jackson or have you never provided excuses for Lamar Jackson? But now he loses his center, that they get a defensive end and they're saying, you know, now this is all on Lamar's shoulders. Well, you just lost your all world. So like Lamar Jackson's living in this world where it's never, ever going to be fair for him.

[Rich Davis]

That is true. That's an, that's a. Those two teams. And then I'll be honest, we've talked about all these things and not one of us has said the three letter name. Well, it's way more than three, but we don't want to be like President Trump and mess the name up. So I'll just say to

[Dan Byers]

how do

[Rich Davis]

you say that there, President Trump? Come on, Sam. Where's your quick fingers?

[Danny G]

What are you doing over there, Mr. $99 million cap it.

[Steve Covino]

I'm trying to find it here.

[Rich Davis]

How do you not have it on stable?

[Dan Byers]

Oh, here it is.

[Steve Covino]

Here it is.

[Rich Davis]

Jesus, Sam.

[Stugots]

To.

[Steve Covino]

To tag O Valia.

[Rich Davis]

Possibly. I mean, it's not official official, but Falcons one year, one year minimum.

[Steve Covino]

Deal, right, DB you're right.

[Dan Byers]

Yep.

[Steve Covino]

So, yeah, that's a, you know, grand opening, grand closing sort of story. I don't know. One year minimum.

[Rich Davis]

But also, what does that say about your. Your love and faith In Michael Pennix Jr. Was it the whole reason Kirk Cousins was all angry and kicked aside was because it was like, well, they drafted Penck's junior And now you get Tua. I'm dead. Seems like confusion a little bit.

[Dr. Nicole Safire]

No.

[Steve Covino]

Yes, I agree again, but major risk to take. Tua. That's why Kyler Murray was always the, I thought better option when those two names are thrown around because he's so concussion prone or you don't know where he is. Is he willing to protect himself? He wasn't even willing to wear. What are those helmets called? I always forget.

[Rich Davis]

Guardian cap.

[Steve Covino]

Willing to wear guardian cap, this dude. So that's. That's a question mark in itself.

[Danny G]

And then for Finn's fans, they get quarterback Malik Willis, who showed a lot of promise last season, in his spot.

[Rich Davis]

But aren't the. But aren't they. Is yours. Not that. I mean, is that off the table? Is there confusion there, too?

[Dan Byers]

Everything is new. And the new pieces that the Dolphins brought in were from Green Bay, Jeffrey, the defensive coordinator, John Eric Sullivan, their general manager. So there was familiarity with that. It's funny because I would totally expect Danny to walk in today and say Tyler Linderbaum, the biggest signing. And I think there's an argument Cavino saying Kenneth Walker iii, like, what a shock that was. Mike Evans, I think could be the biggest headline. And I think it's Malik Willis because I think he's the only one that's going to be a starting quarterback in the National Football League of what happened, you know, what happened today. Like Minshew's going to Arizona, maybe going to fight for a job or whatever's going to happen. But the Dolphins have decided that Malik Willis basically is going to be their starting quarterback. And I think beating out Quinn, yours. You don't pay him that sort of money to just what did they pay

[Rich Davis]

him, if you don't mind me?

[Dan Byers]

67.5 million so it's not.

[Rich Davis]

It's not over how many?

[Dan Byers]

Three years.

[Rich Davis]

That's a big leap of faith. No, I'm not saying that's correct.

[Dan Byers]

It's very good way to put it. He's not breaking the bank. You're not paying him $40 million, but you're still giving him enough money to be like, okay, you should be the guy.

[Steve Covino]

I was absent on Friday.

[Rich Davis]

Did you bring in a note, by the way, or.

[Steve Covino]

No, I brought in a doctor's note to Big Mike because he runs this place. Where's your note? I was like, mike, I'm sorry, man. I was actually celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, was Stu Gotz doing that all last week, too?

[Steve Covino]

Yes. Oh, Stu Gotz has been celebr as well. I appreciate that. So congrats to Big Steve and Hortense. 50 years. So I. I took Friday off because that was the big party day. I had to make my way to San Diego. Did you talk about how all these moves just ruined Joe Burrow's life? You know, with Max Crosby in the division now, and I believe they play twice. Right, yeah, of course. So did you mention how, like, with the Steelers with all these pass rushers, like, what a nightmare it is for Joe Burrow moving forward?

[Rich Davis]

I was. I was going to say, besides Joe Burrow having all these pass rushers now in his division, on top of that, he's not sleeping with Jessica, and he's not with Jessica. There was a rumor that him and Alba were hanging out at a casino in the middle of the night. And I think he.

[Steve Covino]

I think he had the worst weekend,

[Danny G]

and he was sitting next to her. But it was for a promotion at the casino.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. But you know what? For one minute, you know, one minute you were Jessica Alba. The next minute you're not. You're not with her, believe it or not. And you have to face Max Crosby twice a year. All right, there's breaking news.

[Steve Covino]

Let's go.

[Rich Davis]

Shocking. Let's go, Dee.

[Steve Covino]

Breaking news from Fox Sports.

[Dan Byers]

I'm going to need Sam to play it after I tell you this bit of news again. Travis Kelce and the Chiefs have worked out a deal. He will return for a 14th season. But there's even more

[Steve Covino]

breaking news from Fox Sports.

[Dan Byers]

The NBA has just announced they have canceled the Hawks plans for Magic city nights on March 16th.

[Rich Davis]

Goodness gracious. Pressure got to him.

[Dan Byers]

In a statement, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said, quote, when we became aware of the Atlanta Hawks scheduled promotion, we reached out to Hawks leadership to better understand their Plans and rationale. While we appreciate the team's perspective and their desire to move forward, we have heard significant concerns from a broad array of league stakeholders, including fans, partners, and employees. I believe canceling this promotion is the right decision for the broader NBA community.

[Steve Covino]

Wow. And Luke Cornett, doesn't he get any props because he was the one of the first guys that spoke out? The dude from the Spurs.

[Dan Byers]

If he started, he would get booed.

[Rich Davis]

In Atlanta, I saw old pal Michelle Beetle was saying that, you know, women, we don't need you, Luke Cornett, to be our spokesperson.

[Steve Covino]

Really?

[Rich Davis]

That Magic City is more than just a strip club. And people that know the NBA know that it's. Know that it's like a staple.

[Steve Covino]

I don't know. I. I could see his side of it completely. I'm not saying it was the fun side to be on, but if you're also in partnership with the WNBA or you own the WNBA and you're trying to, I don't know, bring some empowerment to women. I don't know if a strip club night is the greatest. Look, I know there's more to it, but at first glance, it does make you go, hmm, I know they have great wings.

[Rich Davis]

We just proved something, by the way. This is amazing. I just. Sam, I need one of the other. Come on. Breaking news.

[Steve Covino]

No, you can't abuse that.

[Rich Davis]

No, I can. One time.

[Steve Covino]

No, you gotta give Rich a clown horn or something. Breaking news from Fox Sports.

[Rich Davis]

For the first time in three years, Travis Kelce was a breaking story, but something else took precedence.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Dan Byers had Travis Kelce and Magic City, and we leaned to the nudie bar.

[Steve Covino]

Well, because it's our show, we've probably been harping on it for the past. Yeah, that's Rich's breaking news. Hey, Rich Davis has breaking news. Sam.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, guys.

[Danny G]

And it was just a couple of days ago that Killer Mike came out defending Magic City Night. Cameron fired back about it. And we mentioned on the show last week it wasn't just Luke, Corey. Al Horford also joined in on.

[Steve Covino]

It's like a corny side to take. Like, relax. It's a strip club. Like, it's not the greatest message to send to families and young women. It's just not. Is that hypocritical of us sleazy men?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, sure it is.

[Steve Covino]

But, I mean, there is truth to what's being said.

[Rich Davis]

You know, do as I say, not as I do.

[Steve Covino]

Is that the great Rich Davis? You know, two things can be true. Sure. It's fun and wings and Entertainment and ti. And yeah, we're just celebrating an Atlanta institution. Or you could say, yeah, there's a lot of women there with broken dreams and hardships and it's a strip club now.

[Rich Davis]

Let's not try to glorify.

[Danny G]

I think we were trying to move past some of that stigma as we talked about last week.

[Rich Davis]

Of course.

[Danny G]

And I could make the argument.

[Steve Covino]

Could be true.

[Danny G]

True. And I could make the argument, my 15 year old looks at way worse things right now on social media and YouTube.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, that is true. But. But yes, at the end of the day. Agreed. In fact, the beginning, middle, end at all parts of the day. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Why just the end of the day?

[Rich Davis]

I don't know why people say that. I'm going to harp on the middle

[Steve Covino]

in the middle of the day. Are you enriched?

[Danny G]

There was nothing for her eyes to look at if she was in attendance at that Hawks game because there's no dancers down on the field.

[Rich Davis]

But. But Danny or the court. But Danny G. We live in a world now where if someone's like, yeah, you know, you know, Mike. And Mike and Cindy's daughter has an only fans page. You're. You're supposed to be like, oh, good for her. Like, we're supposed to just be like, yeah, that's cool. It's. It's. It's not kind in 2026 to. To maybe be real. Right? Like, you can't. Strippers shame.

[Steve Covino]

But you're like I said respectfully, it doesn't make you Gary Vaynerchuk either.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Like when some girl's like, yeah, well, guess what? I got. And she started flaunting her money and showing her pay stubs from OnlyFans. It's like, yeah, like Donald should be so proud of that.

[Steve Covino]

Look, I get it. It's meant to be fun. So while it is a bit of a downer, you know, we let the. The Luke Cornets of the world win. You thought you were gonna get away with one. You didn't. I'm okay with the decision, to be honest. You got to bring some. Something back to the middle a little bit. We can't be so rogue.

[Rich Davis]

It's the NBA, but let's call a spade a spade. You can't have a strip club night and be like, yeah, guys, it just wings it like fun. I mean, dude, it's still a strip club. It's like, it's like when people say

[Danny G]

it's a moniker too, though. The city is called Magic City. It's as much as a hot spot and a place to go to and eat as it is for the guys that want to go to eat.

[Steve Covino]

What's the most successful league that we promote here? NFL in radio and sports. NFL Family fun is what they lean into most. And I get it. They're hypocritical, too, with some of the things they allow as far as what players get away with sometimes in their personal lives, but they market family friendly, family first. NBA can't. They got to follow that blueprint.

[Danny G]

Ticket prices aren't family friendly.

[Rich Davis]

People got to keep it real, though. Not to get controversial, but you ever see, like, us trying to be like, well, Magic City, I mean, it's really more than a strip club. I mean, it's a strip club, guys. Let's be honest. The same way you ever see, like, one of these people in front of Congress where they're being asked and it's like, can a man have a baby? And the person's like, well, I mean,

[Danny G]

technically, I hear you, Rich, but the pushback is. What other city in our country do we call by the name of a club?

[Steve Covino]

Strip club.

[Danny G]

Yeah, you. You've even said, oh, this year we're going to Magic. You called it Magic City when we went to the All Star Game calling

[Steve Covino]

it Magic City because we're honoring the city. They're. They're honoring the strip club. That's the only difference. They're honoring the cultural institution known as the strip club in that city.

[Rich Davis]

I just. That's a big part.

[Danny G]

It's a big part of that city. I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying it's a huge part.

[Rich Davis]

It is, but I'm just saying, like, should we be glamorizing that?

[Steve Covino]

Hey, you know what? We'll take your thoughts.

[Rich Davis]

Your thoughts, guys.

[Steve Covino]

We try to be open. Like Rich said last week when we talked about this, two things can be true. Have we been there?

[Rich Davis]

Yes.

[Steve Covino]

Do we think it's the greatest family fun promotion?

[Rich Davis]

Would I go.

[Stugots]

Yes, dude.

[Rich Davis]

I go to. I go to Vegas. I know what I think is great. Sapphire, great club. But when I went there with my mom, we saw Siegfrieda Roy. No, we saw. We saw Penn and Teller.

[Steve Covino]

Your thoughts? They caved in the NBA. Did the NBA do the right thing or the weak thing? What are your thoughts? I think we made ours clear. I understand the decision. 87799 on Fox is our number. 87799 on Fox.

[Rich Davis]

I just heard all this NFL noise down by or. And all your breaking news that they like guys. And baseball. The World Baseball Classic. We need to do something.

[Dan Byers]

Yeah, they tried to make it disappear along with Magic City, unfortunately.

[Rich Davis]

Look at that. Could I tell you guys one thing and I'm going to pose a question and I know we're running late. You know what? I'll save it. It has to do with strippers.

[Steve Covino]

Oh wait, a deep thought about strippers next.

[Danny G]

Now that's a tease.

When segregation was the law, one mysterious black club owner had his own rules. We didn't worry about what was going on outside.

[Steve Covino]

It was like stepping on another world.

[Dr. Nicole Safire]

Inside Charlie's Place, black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it.

[Rich Davis]

You saw the kkk.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, they was dressed up in their uniform. The KKK set out to raid Charlie, take him away from here.

[Dan Byers]

Charlie was an example of power. They had to crush him.

[Steve Covino]

NFL making moves. Making moves like Rich Davis in the early 2000s. You should have seen this guy's moves. Oh, man. Oh, boy. What a creep Rich was in the early 2000s. Oh, hey, we're on the air. Covino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio. So many moves in the NFL. We didn't even mention Pittman Jr. Did we? He's a Steeler now.

[Rich Davis]

Well, does that mean Aaron Rodgers, if he returns, has a pretty good receiving core on his hands? Yes.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I think that's bait, right? Hey, we got some, some big names. What do you think?

[Rich Davis]

Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh going to be very interesting this year.

[Steve Covino]

Moves are being made in a division

[Rich Davis]

that's going to be competitive yet again.

[Steve Covino]

And by the way, that's more reason to stick around for Dan Myers. Update. Because you never know when breaking news is going to happen. DB is here. We got Danny G on standby 87799 on Fox.

[Rich Davis]

Leap of Faith. Yeah, Dan Beyer liked my phrasing. Leap of Faith. Not only a good Steve Martin movie, you're working for Jesus now. Leap of Faith. Great movie with Steve Martin.

[Steve Covino]

But also what Indiana Jones had to do in the Last Crusade.

[Rich Davis]

A leap of faith is what the Dolphins are doing with Malik Willis. In this contract I saw a stat that Malik Willis has only had 155 career pass attempts.

[Steve Covino]

What you talking about? Willis.

[Rich Davis]

And he's never had a game with more than 23 pass attempts. Now we know he's mobile and athletic, but yo, three years, 67 mil. As Dan Byer said, it's. It's not big time money, but it's not like, oh, we're trying this out money. It's like we're committing to this guy at a good bargain for a team. Because if they could win with a quarterback only making that amount of money,

[Steve Covino]

well, that's the blueprint, right?

[Rich Davis]

That's. That's the blueprint.

[Steve Covino]

That's the goal anyway.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Geez.

[Steve Covino]

So moves are being made. What stands out to you and the other side note is how crazy it is that the NFL still making headlines when baseball's electric. Right.

[Rich Davis]

Well, the NBA trying to infiltrate with their canceling of Magic City Night.

[Steve Covino]

And then we get the breaking news that Magic City Night is canceled. And that proves. That proves two things. Hold on. That morality still exists. Or you could say that's lame and that's fine too. I don't care. There's two sides to this and both could be true. But Danny G. Also pointed out we were speculating. Don't promotions have to be run through the NBA as an organization? Or could teams just do what they want willy nilly? Yeah, we're gonna have stripper night. And I think that proves the question at hand. When we debated it, we're like, do they get any sort of approval here? And apparently they put the kibosh on it.

[Rich Davis]

Is it true though, that Magic City Night was going to give away a bobble ass or no bobble ass?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that's canceled.

[Rich Davis]

That might have been why they canceled it. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Maybe we should get the. The shipment and make them Covino and rich. Bobble asses. We'll hand them out.

[Rich Davis]

Put your head on it.

[Steve Covino]

What are they going to do with all that inventory?

[Rich Davis]

I don't know. But it got me thinking of something I saw today. And I said I had a funny story about strippers. It's not slimy or weird. I think you guys will get a kick out of this. This is a real story out of the New York Post. Today, bridesmaids swear on a new trend at bachelorette parties that are even better than a stripper. Did you see the same story?

[Steve Covino]

No, I missed this one. I don't get stripper alerts like you do.

[Rich Davis]

Move aside. Oiled up. Oiled up like thunder down on the hunks. They're saying the new trend of bachelorette parties.

[Steve Covino]

I got it. I know what it is. Penistros.

[Rich Davis]

No, that has been forever. That's been the thing. Yeah, that's. That's already there.

[Steve Covino]

You ever. You ever see a bachelorette party when you're like, in like Nashville and all Vegas, Atlantic City.

[Dan Byers]

Anyway.

[Steve Covino]

God, it's all you see.

[Rich Davis]

My goodness, where do they make all that stuff? Is that why you got a 3D printer?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I'm going in business.

[Rich Davis]

The new bachelorette party trend. I'm not even joking.

[Steve Covino]

Magicians, really?

[Rich Davis]

They're saying. They're saying. And nothing scandalous, sleazy or anything. They're saying the new trend is they're realizing a lot of bachelorette parties. Like, we want to have like, entertainment with the girls. And instead of hiring strippers There's a massive trend in magicians.

[Steve Covino]

Well, that's big news from our. For our buddy, Magic Mark and our other pal, Captain Crossbones. All your magic friends are going to be.

[Rich Davis]

You know what?

[Steve Covino]

Magic Mark, he works here, right? No, we actually.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, that's Mighty Mark. Sorry.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, we're friends with a guy named Magic Mark.

[Rich Davis]

We know a guy named Magic Mark. He's a magician.

[Steve Covino]

He's a great entertainer.

[Rich Davis]

Magic Marker.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, Matt, look. If you're ever at a corporate event or at a party and there's a magician there, it's great. Yo, a magician. One Star Search on Netflix TJ Salta. Was that his name?

[Rich Davis]

The focus great has been shifted from spectacle to an actual connection and fun like that. So magicians, apparently.

[Steve Covino]

That's kind of a lame party, though.

[Rich Davis]

No, because think about it.

[Steve Covino]

No, I mean, if you're going for. If you're. If you're thinking bachelor party or bachelorette party, you're thinking, like, some craziness.

[Danny G]

No, I can't help now. But you ruined it for me, Covino. That story you told about your friend in the neighborhood who had a magician.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was. We were in junior high, and everyone was sort of feeling like they were cool and trying to make moves. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

When you start, people start having, like, girlfriends or crushes and, like, you're a little too cool for your parents. Like, preteen, you know.

[Steve Covino]

The mom busted out and stopped the party and said, guys, we got a big surprise. And the kid was like, no, mom, no. And we're like, the whole party stops. She's like, guys, guys. It's Ian's favorite. Let's make some noise. Round of applause for Captain Crossbones. And Captain Crossbones came out, started making balloon animals. We were like teenagers, and it was the weakest thing ever.

[Rich Davis]

The kid never recovered.

[Steve Covino]

That kid never showed up to school again. I think his life was ruined.

[Rich Davis]

He was then homeschooled.

[Steve Covino]

From that point on, he went from, like, cool kid to, like, he was the lamest kid ever. Skino. It has a bit of a stigma, is the I'm just saying point here. But it is fun.

[Rich Davis]

You can make fun all you want, but. But the reality is, have anyone. Has anyone ever been to a corporate event, a dinner party somewhere? If there's a magician?

[Steve Covino]

I love it.

[Rich Davis]

Amazing.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I do.

[Rich Davis]

So the reality is you can make fun of it, but it's sort of funny to think that bachelor and bachelor parties are hiring magicians now instead of strippers.

[Danny G]

I can't help that poor Junior high student now.

[Steve Covino]

No, but I think there's a time and place. I think if you're young and you're dumb, you want the strippers. If you're a little older, a little more mature.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Maybe like, you know, a dude's trip, you know, we're going fishing. Or for women, like, yeah, we got a magician. I think there's a time and place for those things.

[Rich Davis]

By the way. It's like not a dirty magician. It's not like, watch me make this

[Dan Byers]

disappear when I get a stripping magician.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, best of both worlds, you know, maybe the magician comes out and strips and does.

[Rich Davis]

Oh my God, where did he pull that out of?

[Steve Covino]

But how did we.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, his hat, his hat, his hat.

[Steve Covino]

Let's remind. That's all he's wearing. Remind everybody how we got here. They canceled. They meaning Atlanta. The Atlanta Hawks thanks to canceled Magic City Night. They were playing the Orlando Magic on March 16. The NBA put a kibosh on a night that was celebrating, not necessarily stripper culture. It was meant to be like the institution, the cultural landmark known as Magic City. But it did rub, you know, some people the wrong way.

[Rich Davis]

Well, with that said, let's get all our updates and we'll talk more NFL. We'll see what's going on. It's a big day, free agency and some World Baseball Classic. We'll give away some prizes. But let's go to Dan Byer for an update. Db, what's up, man?

[Dan Byers]

I was all for the promotion. I said why not go ahead with it? But I also thought that 10 years from now we would have been like, remember when the NBA allowed that to happen? But one of those, yeah, now they didn't. As you mentioned, the Magic City Night promotion has been canceled. So the Hawks and Magic a week from tonight will not have that promotion. Promotion going on in Atlanta. A lot going on in Atlanta right now as the Falcons are sending Tua Tongue of Iloa to a one year deal. He was let go by the Dolphins. It'll be official later on this week. The Dolphins signed Packers quarterback Malik Willis to a three year, 67 and a half million dollar contract. There are so many signings today, I feel like I'm leaving out certain signings and it's not that they're not important, it's just there's so much happening. I mentioned the Dolphins and Malik Willis and then two are going to Atlanta on a one year deal. Mike Evans is leaving Tampa, the 12 year vet, signing a year deal with the 49ers Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III is signing with the Chiefs while Travis Kelsey is back with the Chiefs for a 14th season. He has a contract that'll pay him $12 million next season. Incentives could push it up to $15 million. Center Tyler Linderbaum's now the highest paid interior offensive lineman in NFL history. Raiders gave him a three year deal worth $81 million. Raiders also signed offensive end Quiddy Pay, formerly of the Colts, to a three year deal and wide receiver Jalen Naylor. Panthers are signing former Eagles edge rusher Jalen Phillips. The Jaguars sign running or former Jaguars running back Travis Etn. Excuse me, is signing with the New Orleans Saints. So ETN goes to New Orleans on a four year, $52 million deal. You guys talked about it earlier. Cult traded Michael Pittman Jr. To the Steelers after they gave wide receiver alec Pierce a four year, $114 million extension. The commander signed edge rusher away to a four year deal worth $100 million. He wanted some Broncos news that he not only re signed JK Dobbins, but they also resigned linebacker Alex Singleton. Seahawks resigned cornerback Josh Joe, but saw boy Mafe leave for the Cincinnati Bengals. And safety Kobe Bryant is signing a three year deal with the Bears. Jets signed linebacker Demario Davis to a two year deal. Giants are signing Isaiah Likely to a three year contract. Titans signed former Giant Wanda Robinson to a four year, $70 million deal. Fernando Tatis Jr. A grand slam as the Dominican Republic topped Israel in the World Baseball Classic 10 to 1. Brazil defeated Great Britain 81 Colom, Panama 43 in Korea, best at Australia 7 to 2 US and Mexico 8 Eastern on Fox.

[Rich Davis]

Damn, did damn buyer just cover a bunch? Thank you db.

[Dan Byers]

Thanks guys.

[Rich Davis]

DB Isn't it funny how money works in sports? Like one minute you're signing huge contracts and the next minute you're playing for the league minimum. I'm reading that to a $1.3 million one year deal. Possibly.

[Dan Byers]

Yeah. It also helps that the Dolphins pay him $54 million, so of course.

[Rich Davis]

But I'm just simply saying like on the books. Like you go from a guy with some monstrous contract to like 1 year 1 mil on the book. So cor. Meanwhile, Malik Willis gets 3 years 67. It's just oh man, the way they manipulate to their advantage. This cap stuff is amazing to me.

[Steve Covino]

And speaking of the NFL, Showtime, Mahomes trivia next hour.

[Rich Davis]

[Rich Davis]

Two quick notes and then we got to play of the day. I wanted to point out I saw not a funny and interesting meme. I think we should all keep in mind you can apply it to sports if you want. It's just how social media and scrolling ruins your life. It's. It was a woman saying looking at herself in the mirror, you're not ugly, you're just on your phone too much. Your relationship isn't stale. You're just on your phone too much. Your vacation didn't stink. You're just on your phone too much. Your house isn't outdated. You're just on your phone too much. Just insinuating a reminder.

[Steve Covino]

Your kids aren't ugly. You're just on your phone too much.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, the reality is that we are in a world of comparison.

[Steve Covino]

And you're not that overweight. You're just on your phone too much

[Rich Davis]

and had too many nachos. Yeah, but the reality is comparison is the thief of joy, as they say. So stop scrolling and comparing your life to everyone else's.

[Dr. Nicole Safire]

USA and Mexico.

[Steve Covino]

Don't be sleeping on Mexico, man. A lot of those guys eat too many tacos. But they could hit.

[Rich Davis]

Let me tell you. I'm excited to watch. 8:00pm Eastern, 5 Pacific. So get home after the show, go to the gym. Watch tonight. I saw that Tarek School is done with the World Baseball Classic. He's reporting back to the Tigers and will not pitch again for Team usa. And I I see people chirping on social media like play for Team usa. Where's your patriotism? What a jerk. This that. Then you realize that here's a guy who is not under a long term deal. So he has a lot at stake. So you gotta understand. We'll talk about that more coming up right here.
