Episode Overview

This hour of The Dan Patrick Show sees Covino and Rich return from vacation, diving into a blend of sports hijinks and genuine sports talk with their trademark humor and banter. The overarching themes center on the unpredictability of sports—from flag football upsets to wild on-court moments—and the humility required when proven wrong by the experts. They discuss Alex Caruso’s shoe-slapping highlight, the revelation of Team USA’s flag football team’s dominance over NFL pros, and the importance of accountability in sports (and sports media).

[Covino]

[Covino]

Nah, bro, you know. You know Bruce Leroy, dude.

[Rich]

And I'm not just saying this.

[Covino]

Did you see Big Papi out there?

[Rich]

There was a bartender. I'm not even joking. It looked like Juan Soto with a wig. It was a woman that had Juan Soto's face. Because, you know, Juan Soto's very distinct looking dude. It looked like Juan Soto with a wig.

[Covino]

And I think it was. Maybe that's his part time job. I could be he.

[Rich]

I was on a hidden camera show. Maybe.

[Covino]

Like maybe. Who knows?

[Rich]

But no, Fresh back from the doctor. Beautiful country, beautiful place.

[Covino]

Maybe it was a Dominican version. And it was. Hey, how could I help?

[Rich]

You look an awful lot like Juan Soto with a wig, ma'.

[Covino]

Am. No, no, no. What do you want? You want some mango? You want.

[DB (Dan Byer)]

Did you check her bat for cork?

[Covino]

I'm not one Soto. What can I get you to drink? I'll have a Mai Tai, please.

[Rich]

Are you sure you're not one photo?

[Jennifer]

Are you sure you're not one photo?

[Covino]

So no, no one Soto.

[Rich]

Who that. So let me tell you, while. While we were gone, stuff happened and you know, Dan Byer and my biggest

[Covino]

story was not the Bachelorette being canceled. I know you real upset about that. It wasn't.

[Rich]

Is she going to be part of the ufc? That's at the White House.

[Covino]

You know, I don't know. It was.

[Rich]

Get that girl in the ring. Iowa.

[Covino]

Upsetting number one, Florida, first weekend of March Madness. It was Alex Caruso hitting that dude on the magic with his shoe. That was my favorite highlight over our break.

[Rich]

That was it.

[Covino]

Oh, it was great. When you talk about things we've never seen before, that's the beauty of sports. Yeah. I've never seen. And that made us smile after Team USA lost. Yes. That was the only thing that made me laugh, made me smile after that miserable disappointment of Team USA blowing.

[Rich]

We don't know.

[Covino]

Congrats to Venezuela.

[Rich]

We don't need to go back and relive some lame sports that happened while we were gone. But I will say this. That Bryce Harper home run. Add that to the list. You know Every so often, Danny G. Will talk about really awesome moments that were lost because the team.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Meant nothing like, it meant nothing like if the. If Team USA goes on to win that game. That's like Bryce Harper lore.

[Covino]

That's like, remember judges home run last year in the playoffs?

[Rich]

Like, just imagine if. If Team USA wins. That is a moment that we always remember. But you know what? We're never going to remember that Bryce Harper hit a bomb in the bottom of the eighth to tie it up because they blew it in the top of the ninth.

[Covino]

So I think we might, though, because I don't know.

[Rich]

I don't think so.

[Covino]

WBC took the world by storm. Ratings proved it. Over 10 million tuned in just here in the US let alone worldwide. So we weren't here to talk about that, but congrats to Venezuela. We. But when. When Alex Caruso took his shoe, lost his shoe and slapped. Was it Tristan de Silva of the Magic with his shoe and made the block? You're like, man, just when you thought you saw it all. No, you go and see that and it changes your life. There.

[Rich]

That was great. There was some going back and forth between the Magic and Lakers because I also said, did you see okc? I'm sorry, There was. Magic is feuding with OKC and the Lakers. Did you see that? Luca got all mad and he said that Goga.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

On the Magic said in Serbian, I'll F your whole family.

[Covino]

That's some fighting words right there.

[Rich]

And no one, no refs going to hear that and be like, well, I know. Did I brush up on my Serbian? So when you really think about it, there could be really, like, next level trash talking if you're a European player that knows someone's native language.

[Dan Morgan]

I actually like what that Magic player

[Covino]

did because it's been helping the Lakers. Luca was getting into it with the refs too much. And as Colin pointed out this morning, he loves the Luca that gets into

[DB (Dan Byer)]

it with players and fans in the stands.

[Rich]

The Luca that gets fired up. You know this now, you remember this from your little league days all the way to watching professional sports. Some players, if you poke them, you take them off their game. And then there's other players who it's like, don't poke them because it lights the fire. It lights a fire.

[Covino]

Jordan. Yeah, it's.

[Rich]

You don't. Oh, remember that story that the one guy that's like halfway through the fourth quarter, he told Michael Jordan like, hey, I guess we got you tonight, Mike.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

And took that personally. There's always Those stories, I feel like

[Covino]

Luke is one of those.

[Rich]

Luke is one of those. Like, you want to see him mad. There's other people, though.

[Covino]

You don't make me angry.

[Rich]

Yo, you ever play with a kid growing up?

[Covino]

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

[Rich]

You ever play with a kid in Little League, Danny. Or Pop Warner football or basketball, where you know who I'm talking about? Like, every kid, everyone knows they have a picture of that kid in their head, that if you rattled them a little bit, he fell apart. There's grown men I play softball with that. I'm like, yo, get in Johnny's head. He. He melts down. He's a.

[Covino]

You called Johnny a belly itcher. He's throwing balls the whole time.

[Rich]

No, there are in.

[Covino]

Can't find the strike zone.

[Rich]

In rec sports, there's guys that get rattled. So when you see it on a professional level. And you're right, Danny, an angry Luca could be a good thing for the Lakers.

[Covino]

Yeah, maybe so. Lots of happened while we were gone.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

It's old news to you, but I did want to point out that Alex Crusoe highlight. That was one of the funniest things I've seen in a minute.

[Rich]

Bordering on old news. But not quite yet, because it's still making the rounds today. I do want to maybe pull a Fonzie. When he said I was. I was wrong.

[Covino]

I thought you'd do that sweet Russian dance that he does.

[Rich]

You want me to do that instead?

[Covino]

Yeah, the one in the Weezer video. You know the dance I'm talking about?

[Rich]

Of course. Kids do that in the middle of, like, a dancing circle for, like, baseball games and little league games.

[Covino]

Hey, let me tell you something, Cunningham.

[Rich]

I was. I was wrong.

[Covino]

Do you remember when.

[Rich]

When that is the guy's name. Doucet?

[Covino]

Yeah, the flag football.

[DB (Dan Byer)]

The pro flag football quarterback.

[Rich]

I always want to call him Juicy Smiley by mistake. Why? I don't know. Just dual set. Dual set. Right.

[Covino]

Totally different guy.

[Rich]

I know we left when this kid said, oh, no, we're flag football players. We. We're we.

[Covino]

No, you laugh. I was gonna say you laughed. And people on social media were taking cheap shots. We, as a show, did speculate. Well, there's a different skill set. You don't know. We. You know, we didn't know. We speculated. You definitely hated on the guy and said, get out of my face and. That's right. We're talking flag football right now. 87799 on Fox. Let's get involved because this story is still buzzing. Team USA consisting of professional. Well not professional but flag the actual Team USA flag professional. They're dominated. Yeah, but they're the ones, right? They're the ones. They dominated their competition over the weekend. 106 to 44 in total points. 10644 in the Fanatics football classic. And we laughed when they said when Darrell Doucette they wanted to play over

[Rich]

the pros when remember because we speculated when it comes to the Olympics who do you want to see out there? Do you want to see 50 year old Tom Brady? And we joked like well yeah, I mean that's who you would want and who, who better than. And we even said well maybe, maybe not.

[Covino]

We.

[Rich]

Maybe you guys are all geniuses.

[Covino]

But I remember saying in fairness we. We speculated like there is a different skill set. Who's to say that maybe he is better. He's younger, he's quicker, he knows the game.

[Rich]

But I do rem like you're telling me if you got like Tyree kill Saquon Barkley, Tom Brady even thrown passes like the best of the best are going to kill anyone.

[Covino]

It's fair speculation even still because even Tom Brady said humbly that they're just really well coached. They had all their plays, they had one running play as opposed to this well oiled machine that had tons and just purely dominated. So everybody was wrong. Anyone that doubted the flag foot the US flag football team was wrong because they beat everybody convincingly and even Tom Brady had to tip his hat and

[Rich]

throw a ball at Logan Paul which I thought was cool.

[Covino]

No, it was fun.

[Rich]

Yeah, it was fun. I thought it was. It was worth watching the highlights on social media that went down but I figured we did have to bring that up simply because that fanatics flag football classic to me it's. I was so baffled as to the differential of skill set like that one wide receiver that just all the he knew the moves. He knew to dip to keep the flag away. Like you know little, little tiny moves that NFL players don't know. Like you said they had, they had a scheme of what one running play.

[Covino]

Yeah. Yeah. So again they're well oiled polished flag football team. They should be the guys representing maybe with a mixture of. Of professionals or former professionals that could add something to the team. But honestly they proved otherwise and props to them. I think we meaning we as a collective show and we who chimes in on social media owe them an apology because we were wrong. Everybody was wrong. Even though I did give them the fair looking back, the fair dude when that guy benefit of the doubt compete with guys like Tom Brady and they could.

[Rich]

When he said he could out flag football like the Mahomes of the world, I left out. I left out loud.

[Covino]

That's where we all criticized him because he talked a big, big game. But he backed it up. That's the thing. If you could back it up, you could talk all the. Is it really smack talk if you're backing it up? No, it's just the truth.

[Rich]

He backed it up so much. He backed it up, Terry.

[Covino]

Yo, but it's, it's just back it up, Terry.

[Rich]

Back it. He backed it up that much.

[Covino]

Maggie, talking the truth. No, I'm just talking the truth. I'll prove it right now.

[Rich]

Here's the question, though, not smack. If you could back it up, I'll give you a. A radio podcast analogy. What bothers you more than anything in the world of you?

[Covino]

Oh, no, sorry, dude, we're fresh off vacation.

[Rich]

I thought you'd be happy to see me.

[Covino]

I am happy to see.

[Rich]

I. I know that what bothers Covino more than anything in the broadcasting world, when a guy like him puts in decades of hard work broadcasting and they're like, hey, cast off on some reality show, you want to do a podcast. Hey, former athlete, you want to do a podcast? And I know it bothers the hell out of Covino because what is his career's work?

[Covino]

Well, that's the truth.

[Rich]

They. They think someone else could do quickly. And you realize very some can often that some can. But for the most part, there's a reason why there's a ton of podcast equipment easily available on Marketplace or Amazon or anything. Because people think they can do a podcast or a show and they can't.

[Covino]

It's a different skill set. Yeah. So you do it day in, day out. You know, it's. It's a whole other level of competition. That's why guys like Tom Brady, regardless of how great they are, it's a different skill set with that analogy was

[Rich]

exposed with that analogy though, when the Olympics do come around, would it be insulting if they're like, yeah, we're going to inject some NFL players into the mix for this flag football. Meanwhile, this team USA is like, yo, we, we are the best. But for ratings and for buzz, would it be the equivalent of giving someone with a name a podcast if they just gave it to the NFL guys or what?

[Covino]

I think so, yeah. You don't. And I think what guys like Tom Brady and professionals and former professionals should do is endorse These guys and back them up and build them up so we could feel more invested in what they're bringing. Because these guys are good, dude. They prove it.

[Rich]

How about this?

[Covino]

You know, what a. What a feather in your. In your cap to say you beat guys like Tom Brady and all these former pros, you know, the only one

[Rich]

who really current, by the way, and

[Covino]

guys like OBJ who had some good, good moments, they're trying to use this to catapult themselves back into the NFL, which is kind of cool to see. So it. It also exposes the explosion of flag football. Like, we've obviously speculated and have talked about it. We've seen our kids and nephews playing it, and we see it growing, like, growing up. Flag football, something we did in gym class. It's the only time I ever played

[Rich]

flag football once a year in my life.

[Covino]

Now you're seeing once a year they. Joe burrow with his pants around his ankles because it's being competed on at a high, high level.

[Rich]

I don't know how it was out here in California, Danny, on the East Coast. Maybe once a year they dug a little deeper in that gym closet beyond the pennies and the hockey sticks. Yeah. And there was like an old box in the 70s of like, crusty, cracked flags. And you'd play flag football for maybe like a week in high school in, like, middle school gym class.

[Covino]

Real fun. But I remember even at that elementary level, the difficulty of getting the flag because you're running full speed and you're bouncing up and down, trying to move. Yeah. It's not easy. It's a whole different skill. So really cool to see at a high level over the weekend. And you. USA again, dominated the whole scene. So we owe them an apology.

[Rich]

Is there. Is there like a. Well, if you're good at this, you'll be good at this. Meaning I see these kids playing flag football. My kids are young on the other field. I'll take a look, and I'll see these teenagers flinging sidearm passes, making diving catches. And I'm like, does that translate? Are these kids all good high school football players? Or they like. No, no. I'm a. I'm a flag football kid. I wonder if there's a translation, because if that's the case, you don't think some of these guys on Team USA have tried or want their little shot in the NFL because the money alone would be a reason to do it.

[Covino]

Dude, it's like that time everyone laughed at me when I said I'd school Tiger woods and Some mini golf and everyone laughed. But I have a particular skill. I know how to work the windmill. I know how to work the clown's nose. Just because he's Tiger woods doesn't mean he could beat me. Yeah, it's a whole different skill set. I know how to ricochet it just right.

[Rich]

Can I tell you? You're right in that I've seen retired baseball players and current baseball players play in a charity softball game. And you would think that, oh, they're just going to hit the ball 450ft. How many of those guys just pop up because they're used to seeing 95, 100 miles an hour thrown at them. They're not used to a loopy hierarch pitch. It's a different game. And I think Hyark Softball Unlimited is very similar to saying, oh, flag football in the NFL. The same thing. It's not, it's, it's a different game.

[Covino]

It's not. But I do love all the smack talk and hype that led up to it with Logan Paul and Tom Brady. And the update is he's working out some negotiations with the wwe, which is kind of fun, which is what we sort of predicted. But I think we're really seeing how far flag football has come. I think we're going to see even more of an explosion of flag football because it prevents kids from getting hurt. And that was the big concern with CTE and everything else. You know, there's so many parents, Rich, I'm sure you're one of them right now who are concerned of their kids safety. Like this is such a great alternative as they grow.

[Rich]

I have a son. I don't know if I'd say CTE is not real. We're going to get to that. We're going to get to, we're going

[Covino]

to get to Cam. Scatter. Boo.

[Rich]

I think, you know, I have a son. I'm not opposed to him playing football one day, but if the path was, hey, play flag football until you're in high school, I don't think like a little, I don't think I would. I can't foresee myself putting my like 8, 9 year old kid in like full pads and helmet hit. Helmet to helmet hits.

[Covino]

Like to me, great practice. To me you're learning how to play the game. A different game, but you're still learning some, a particular skill set that could be useful maybe for tackle football when he's willing and wanting to play. But we're really seeing how far it's come and we hope you guys enjoyed the Fanatics flag football classic over the weekend with a mix of amateurs who really were dominant and professionals and Tom Brady and everything else. So your thoughts on that? Because honestly, most of you. I'm not taking accountability here. Most of you were wrong about it. I didn't know what to expect, but it was very, very cool to see.

[Rich]

Can I, can I ask you a question that it's sort of related, but not. Is there someone living a better life right now than Tom Brady? Usually people go through a divorce and if you said, tell the average person, hey bud, you're gonna go through a divorce and within a year or so your ex wife's gonna be remarried and have a kid with the new guy, most guys would be like, oh, this is awful.

[Covino]

I mean, it happened to me. You're looking.

[Rich]

I got to happen to now with that said.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Tom Brady has been rumored to have hooked up with allegedly Sofia Vergara.

[Covino]

Yeah, that happened to me.

[Rich]

Sydney Sweeney. Alex Earl. Scooter Braun's ex, who's like a smoke show.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

And he's signed like a 300 something million dollar broadcasting contract. He's flag football with his buddies. Probably making a ton of money with Fanatics.

[Covino]

Are you saying Tom Brady is the man?

[Rich]

Am I saying Tom Brady's the man? If I was saying was listening to me instead of having a side conversation, he would already be doing that. I hope.

[Iowa Sam]

Sorry.

[Covino]

It's Shay's fault.

[Iowa Sam]

Shay was distracting me. Look at this guy.

[Covino]

Are you saying Tom Brady is the man? I know it's Shay.

[Rich]

I know it's Shay. Gorgeous distracting you.

[Covino]

Shay gorgeous. Alexander in the studio disrupting Iowa Sam from pressing the buttons.

[Iowa Sam]

But I'm so overstimulated today. But I have the bed for you guys.

[Covino]

Don't even worry about it. You want to do it?

[Rich]

Too late now.

[Iowa Sam]

Too late now. I ruined the moment.

[Rich]

Spontaneity gone.

[Iowa Sam]

Shea ruined the moment.

[Rich]

So back talking about pastries with Che. Would you like a muffin? I brought him.

[Covino]

Let's just focus and establish the point

[Rich]

where I'm not being present.

[Iowa Sam]

I'm sorry.

[Covino]

You gotta take in sports, in sports radio, in sports broadcasting and in life. We all probably come short in taking accountability. And I think that's the problem with sports media. I really do. You never get the update. You get these blowhards talking all the time about this and that, but they never come back and admit when they're wrong. I mean, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it rarely happens. It's almost like we're supposed to forget about everything that was said about X, Y and Z or this particular player the entire year. I think later we're coming back to say that, hey, collectively, everybody was kind of wrong, including some of us, when it comes to what we were expecting from these flag football players.

[Rich]

Yeah, I mean, listen, as Doucette said, those guys didn't know what they were

[Covino]

getting themselves into, and they did not. They did not. They're not as coached. Well, they're not as prepared. They're not as coached. And it showed. And it was a great competition.

[Rich]

I have a question for everyone in the room.

[Covino]

But again, dominated my qu.

[Rich]

My questions are all over the place because the ADD is blazing.

[Covino]

Don't blame it on add.

[Rich]

I'm back. Just take accountability from vacation. Oh, I am.

[Covino]

Please just say I'm a bonehead.

[Rich]

I'm a bonehead.

[Covino]

You don't have to blame add.

[Rich]

I don't even know if I have it back. When you're. When we were kids, it was just, hey, he's a hyper. He's a hyper annoying kid.

[Covino]

My mom told me I wasn't allowed to have add. Yeah.

[Rich]

Diagnosed. I was just told I was an annoying chatty boy. So Tom Brady's the man. We established that no one's cooler.

[Covino]

He's winning the breakup, but he's losing in flag football.

[Rich]

Is there something a la flag football that maybe you downplayed? And you're like, yeah, I could do that. And then I was like, oh, maybe I can't do it. Like, I remember you were on a vacation once and you did, like, archery with your girlfriend, and you were. Said you were so bad, and you like, throwing or something.

[Covino]

To add insult to injury, this is a true story. I was on vacation. She's like, let's do some crafts and let's do. What's it called? Like, let's do some activities. And they were doing archery, right? I'm like, yeah, whatever.

[Rich]

He thought he was Daryl Dixon from Walking Dead.

[Covino]

There was a former Nickelodeon TV star, like, a kid star happened to be there. Remember that? It's Fred, kid.

[Rich]

Hey, it's Fred Winklebean.

[Covino]

So I don't. Fred Figglehorn or whatever his name was. Hey, I'm Fred Fine. Figglestein. Whatever his name was. My girlfriend's like, I think that's Fred. I'm like, fred who? She's like the Nickelodeon star. I'm like, I don't know that kid.

[Rich]

Whatever.

[DB (Dan Byer)]

Yeah, Fred Figglehorn.

[Covino]

Fred Figglehorn was better than me. Yeah, exactly. All you need to know is his last name is Figglehorn.

[Rich]

And I.

[Covino]

He looks like a Figglehorn. And meanwhile, this guy's like, shoot. And he's. He's shooting these bows and arrows and

[Rich]

he's like, he's a Katniss from a Hunger Games.

[Covino]

I could not get the hang of it because again, when you do something on the regular, when you have a particular skill. Yeah. It can't be downplayed. It looked like he had done this before. And I went in there with all this false confidence, and I had no skill whatsoever. And I was put in my place immediately. That's what happened with Tom Brady and these guys over the weekend. And you said, ax throwing.

[Jonas Knox]

Yeah.

[Covino]

You think to yourself, what's so hard about this? I could do. Dude, I sucked. I was the worst. I threw it, it came back and almost hit me one time. If you don't have, like, if you don't practice or know the technique, like, it's not as easy as you think. And I think Tom Brady and these guys really had a. A misunderstanding of that. Like, we're pros. We could do that and they can't.

[Rich]

There. There are times where you try to take on something and you're like, you. Because you have this faith in yourself. Like, I'm a pretty athletic guy, or I could do it. I get the hang of it. I thought of a couple. Like, if someone were to challenge you, like money on the line or something, like, yo, how many? Yo, we'll give you 10 free throws. You in your mind are like, oh, I could probably.

[Covino]

What do I hit?

[Rich]

Like six or seven out of them. Maybe at, you know, at worst, you can get cold. And 2 out of 10 could again,

[Covino]

if you're not doing it all the time.

[Rich]

If, if, if you think you could just fill in and play, like I said, like high arc softball, you might embarrass yourself.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

I remember one time our listeners made a joke. Like, I. I made it so matter of fact, like, oh, who. Who can't run a mile under 10 minutes? And I was like, I think I run a mile in like eight minutes easy. I remember, remember I, like, I just live streamed on the treadmill. I had to push myself to that because I would not allow myself to be humiliated with my own statement. But it was not as easy. I was not as easy. I'm like, maybe this isn't as awesome and easy as I thought. But yeah, just Tom Brady and all those people got a little check of reality.

[Covino]

So aside from all the March madness, we figured we'd to speculate on that a little bit. And we also want to take the heat off Cam. Scatter. Boo. Why? Because it's fun. Does he deserve the backlash and criticism that he's getting? Probably, yeah. He had some things to say about CTE and asthma of all things. And he's taking a lot of heat based on what he said, even though he apologized and he sort of took it back. I mean, if you apologize, we'll take some of the heat off of him with some other stuff that we don't believe in, quote, unquote.

[Rich]

I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm.

[Podcast Host with Dan Morgan]

That's pretty awesome. I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said 20 billion won. 20 billion is an insane number.

[Dan Morgan]

Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think somewhere north. Probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

[Podcast Host with Dan Morgan]

Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?

[Dan Morgan]

[Covino]

Discover is accepted at 99% of places that take credit cards nationwide.

[Rich]

[Covino]

I was. Sam was giving him a foot rub.

[Rich]

I know, wait a minute.

[Iowa Sam]

I was killing two birds with one stone with you guys coming back and Stu guys here.

[Covino]

I was like, I'm doing some pastries. I know he's not always here, you know, in studio in la. So it was great to see him.

[Covino]

we're bringing the madness, baby.

[Rich]

I was going to say there's no Cinderella team and that seems to Be everyone's gripe like, there's no Cinderella Cinder fella bro.

[Covino]

And I have a Cinderella's dead.

[Rich]

I mean, is Cinderella even in the rotation with your kids?

[Covino]

The cartoon? Absolutely not.

[Rich]

Like Cinderella. Yeah, the classic Disney Cinderella.

[Covino]

Cinderella. Come on, it's classic.

[Rich]

I love the little mice singing, right? Cinderella. Cinderella.

[Iowa Sam]

You gotta love the carriage that goes from pumpkin to carriage, back to pumpkin.

[Rich]

I like to have the two fat sisters get to go the ball. As if the prince wants those fatties.

[Covino]

It's too old timey for kids now,

[Iowa Sam]

but I think they should watch it once at least.

[Rich]

But you know what? You know there's a discrepancy in that movie that people are like, if it's the perfect slipper that fits, why did it fall off? Have you ever been rocking a pair of sneakers or something?

[Covino]

Ask Alex Crusoe.

[Rich]

You know what?

[Covino]

Maybe she was blocking a shot.

[Rich]

Maybe that's true, but yeah. No, no Cinderella. So I guess you just solved the mystery of Cinderella, huh?

[Covino]

Yeah, maybe he's playing basketball.

[Iowa Sam]

Can I say one thing though? I mean, so I know they're Big Ten teams, but Iowa, Nebraska. Nebraska has never been to a. They had never won a tournament game, period. Until this year, they'd never been to a sweet sixteen. Iowa's making their first in 2017.

[Covino]

Iowa, number nine team.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

Big ten Cinderellas. Maybe.

[Rich]

I thought of you. Come on, I thought of you and how much joy you must have had.

[Jonas Knox]

Joy?

[Iowa Sam]

The sweetest.

[Covino]

I mean, he's wearing an Iowa T shirt today just to celebrate.

[Rich]

But with all due respect, that's one shirts in rotation.

[Covino]

But he's wearing it for a reason.

[Iowa Sam]

Well, the women play today. Unfortunately they lost, but this is kind of my all encompassing basketball shirt, so. Yeah.

[Covino]

So that's Iowa. Sam, the whole team is back. Dan Byers. Got your update in a minute. I just want to set this up and let you know what we're talking about. Kim. Scatter Boo is in the news. So aside from all the March Madness and Iowa upsetting Florida and we talked about, I guess the US Flag football team upsetting the professionals in a way. Dominating the professionals again. A combined score of 106 to 44. Did you see the combined scores, by the way? It was USA 39, Wildcats 14, USA 43 to FFC 16. The founders and Wildcats. Oh wait. The championship game was USA 24, Wildcats 14. That was the. The closest one was the last one. But Cam, Scatter Boo is also in the news. He was on a podcast, the Frank Delena podcast called Bring the Juice. Bring the Juice, and I'm just gonna give you the can.

[Rich]

I guess what he brought Cliff's notes. Now Camps Cataboo. Probably brought from the Jersey Shore, Ron Ron juice. I feel like that's a drink he would have.

[Covino]

He brought some Ron Ron juice to the Bring the Juice podcast. It's more of a Juicy Juice guy. More of a maybe. Maybe like he brought some sips, a juice box, a Capri sun, perhaps when

[Rich]

I was a kid, some ecto cooler. I was so jealous. The kids are Capri Suns. My mom would always buy the cheap little sips like you said, or, you know, the little boxes. The kid with Capri suns in the 80s.

[Covino]

Rich kid, yo.

[Rich]

That was that.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Don't you feel like that was the level of. Of opulence for Capri sun in the very beginning?

[Covino]

I was spoiled, bro. I'll be the first to admit it. Drink them and stomp them in kids like yours faces. So, man, he said something really controversial, and it had nothing to do with Capri sun or anything like that. It was on the Bring the Juice podcast. He says in a nutshell, that he doesn't believe in CTE and he doesn't believe in asthma.

[Rich]

I'm sorry, what?

[Covino]

And we're going to take the heat off of him with other things that we don't believe in. And we're also going to get you involved. It could be as silly as you want it to be. All right? You know, it's just something like. I'm not buying it. 87799 on Fox. Put on your thinking caps, start thinking about it. Chime in and be part of the show, Covino and Rich, because we have a few things that we're like, yeah, I don't know if I believe that or not. And we're also going to take the heat off of Scatter Boo and give you the update on that. Okay, Speaking of updates, I'm not going to make the guy wait, bro.

[Rich]

You know, that's a good idea. Why. Why make. Why make Dan by way, db DB must be celebrating the signing of his wide receiver.

[DB (Dan Byer)]

I'll tell you, that says a lot of things. And I'll get to the details here in a second. But considering that DK Metcalf $33 million a year, and JSN is making 42. It's not a lot, but it is a lot. But it isn't a lot. But it also tells you on how much they love JSN and how much they just weren't in the DK Metcalf. Business, but it is a big contract. The Seahawks and wide receiver Jackson, Smith and Jigba coming to terms today. It's a four year extension. This will be added on to the fifth year option that the Seahawks just picked up on his rookie contract. But the four year option or excuse me, the four year extension is worth 1 68.6 million. DOL reports say $120 million guaranteed for JSM. His average annual salary 42.15 million tops. Jamar Chase by almost 2 million. The Bengals receiver makes $40.25 million, but JSN and the Seahawks striking a deal today to make him the highest paid wide receiver in the NFL. The Seahawks made another move. They matched the two year offer sheet to wide receiver Jake Bobo that he signed with Jackson. So Bobo is back with the Seahawks on a two year deal worth five and a half million dollars. Travis Kelsey signed his deal with the Chiefs made it official today. He gets a three year deal guys worth $54.7 million. The Patriots are releasing veteran quarterback Josh Dobbs. Tommy DeVito will now be the backup to Drake May in New England like that College basketball News Bunch of coaching news. Creighton men's basketball coach Greg McDermott is going to retire after this season. Spent 16 years as the head coach at the school. Assistant Alan Hustler will take over after the team completes play in the Crown tournament. Randy Bennett is leaving St. Mary's after 25 seasons to be the new head coach at Arizona State. Utah State was eliminated yesterday in the NCAA tournament by Arizona. Today they lost their head coach. Cincinnati hiring Jared Calhoun to be their new men's basketball coach. Former Cincinnati head coach Wes Miller is the new head coach at Charlotte. And in women's basketball NCAA tournament Iowa fell today to number 10 seed Virginia and regional 48375 in double overtime. So the second seeded Hawkeyes are bounced. Notre Dame leads Ohio state right now 66 to 56 in a 36 matchup in Columbus. Seven minutes to go in that contest. Earlier today, Louisville edged Alabama 69 to 68 in Regional 3 play. West Virginia and Kentucky in a 4, 5 matchup in Regional 3 tied up at 32 apiece nearing the end of the first. On the baseball note, Brave Spitzer Spencer Strider is going to start the season on the injured list because of a strained oblique. Guys, back to you.

[Covino]

Thank you db. Speaking of baseball, what an exciting week. Guys. Baseball is back this week. I woke up today and it felt like Nudie magazine day. But I'm like ooh, it's baseball week. That's baseball. Can't wait. So an exciting week and it's exciting to be back. We are Covino and Rich and we're going to discuss things that we don't necessarily believe in. And we're going to take the heat off of Cam Scatterboo and the bonehead things he said.

[Rich]

Give Kim Scatterboard break. I feel like he's the type of guy that would participate. You ever see that thing? It's dumber than slap fighting. It's those guys. It's called run it where they just run full force into each other. Yeah, that's something. Camp scattered. Be like, I want to do it.

[Iowa Sam]

He had that as a drill when he played football.

[Covino]

Well, you notice that was a football drill. He said some silly things, but he took accountability. He apologized. We'll explain. But start thinking of things that you don't necessarily believe in. Just to take the heat off of him a little bit because we don't think he really meant anything bad by it. But it was a little touchy. We'll explain the whole thing next. And we're going to play Last One Standing giving away prizes on this Monday edition of Cavino and Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, buddy.

[Jennifer]

Oh, could this vintage store be any cuter? Right? And the best part, they accept Discover. Except Discover in a little place like this? I don't think so, Jennifer. Oh yeah, huh. Discover is accepted where I like to shop. Come on baby, get with the times.

[Covino]

Right?

[Jennifer]

So we shouldn't get the parachute pants. These are making a comeback, I think.

[Covino]

[Covino]

what's with his love jams, Sam? We're taken. Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. I feel like Sam's trying to romance.

[Rich]

I'm not going to lie. Probably inappropriate, but this is.

[Iowa Sam]

This is Santana. And I want to say, like some old blues man, I look.

[Covino]

Raphael Santana.

[Rich]

Yeah, Raphael Santana. Former Met shortstop, right? Oh, Carlos Santana. Not the baseball player.

[Covino]

Oh, Carlos.

[Iowa Sam]

John Lee Hooker in Santana.

[Rich]

Yeah. Sam, you play that commercial for one of our fine sponsors. Santana Moss was at the gaming league.

[Covino]

Global Gaming League.

[Rich]

Global Gaming League. Good. Fine people advertising here. But with this love jam in the background and that guy's voice when he said, are you looking for a good time? Can you just play it again over this music?

[DB (Dan Byer)]

All right, hold on, let me get set up.

[Covino]

Sorry.

[Rich]

Yeah, I just felt weird.

[Covino]

Took Rich back to his late night infomercial days.

[Rich]

I was like, wait a minute, I was. Sam's playing a love jam. And just listen to the. Listen to the voiceover.

[Covino]

Is this going to count as two plugs for them?

[Rich]

It will. We're giving him an extra plug because I found it so bizarre.

[Jonas Knox]

Bizarre.

[Rich]

Go ahead, Sam.

[Jay]

Professional wrestling.

[Covino]

That was the wrong one.

[Rich]

Jesus.

[Rich]

you're in for a good time.

[Covino]

For a good time. Time. Hey, We're Cavino and Rich. Thanks for hanging out for a good time. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Time for our tire rack play of the day. We have a very happy Iowa fan on our staff for a spot in the Sweet 16.

[Rich]

Koch calls the break. Sturt sprints to the ball, gets fed up the right sideline into the front court. Bounce Lugaris, he pumps a jumper. Got it. It's a three for the lead. More on a light SP4. Down 1.3.9. And Iowa wants timeout. Sammy, you pumped or what?

[Iowa Sam]

Hitting all the wrong buttons today, but feeling good.

[Rich]

I got you. I were right in the middle of the pack in the Big Ten and have showed a lot of heart making it to the sweet 16. That's courtesy of Westwood One radio. And that's our tire rack play of the day.

[Covino]

For over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack.com the way tire buying should be. Speaking of Iowa, did you see the very viral clip? Are you proud of this moment, Sam? Where I was, Mikey Caliendo, hopefully no relation to Frank. Frank's a good guy. Mikey Caliendo didn't shake hands with Penn State's Mitchell podium.

[Rich]

Right. Did you see that?

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, I saw that. That was.

[Covino]

It was a 165 pound title tie or something like that. And he refused to shake hands. It seems to be like the trend, like, nah, I'm just gonna leave.

[Rich]

Did you see that? Based on. On hanging handshakes.

[Covino]

It's the leaving you hanging trend of 2026.

[Rich]

The leaving you hanging trend resulted in Cal Raleigh in a Rosa Rainier having to put out a statement like, yo, season's about to start. We're good.

[Covino]

Yeah, it's over. I know, I know. It's like, geez, this dude from Iowa left that dude hanging.

[Rich]

Hey, Sammy, I'll give you credit. You seem to care equally about the men's and women's side of the bracket, huh?

[Iowa Sam]

Well, the, the women had Caitlin Clark. Even before that, they were getting to sweet sixteens and Elite 8. So it's like if your team, men's or women's, are doing well, like, you. You tune in, you watch.

[Rich]

I saw good. I saw a mildly chauvinistic hypothetical on social media. It was like, would you want your alma mater's woman's women's team to win the NCAA tournament or find $5 in pot in A pot and a pair of pants. You just pull it out of the dryer.

[Iowa Sam]

Oh, my God. I take the championship.

[Covino]

Of course, you know, who needs $5 that bad?

[Rich]

20 bucks.

[Covino]

Why? Is that in your algorithm? Yeah, yeah, Rich, I mean, I feel like you're questioning with Sam Filter a little condescending. So you really buy into these women.

[Rich]

I'm saying, like, would you rather. Would you rather your college's women's team win the tournament or find 100 bucks in a pair of jeans?

[Iowa Sam]

You just keep upping the.

[Rich]

Yeah, yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

Thousand dollars in your pants.

[Rich]

Ten thousand dollars in your pants. There's going to come a monetary value of five bucks. Okay.

[Iowa Sam]

If I found 20 grand in my pants, I'd take that.

[Rich]

Okay.

[Iowa Sam]

Because that would be life changing money

[Covino]

for me right now. Right, Right. Yeah, Everybody's got a price, as Ted DiBiase said.

[Rich]

But if you tell me the Syracuse Orange with the women one, I'd rather a $20 bill.

[Covino]

What? Are you sure Cam Scatter Boo?

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Did you hit your head?

[DB (Dan Byer)]

He's got a Cam Scatter Boo size shovel over this.

[Covino]

I feel like you're saying some Cam Scatter Boo type of stuff. You might want to apologize.

[Rich]

Well, listen, this goes along perfectly with our Cam Scatter Boo thought, which is, what are the things you just don't believe? You don't. You don't believe it at all.

[Covino]

I believe that you believe that Sam really doesn't care about women winning. Well, you know what?

[Rich]

We'll explain more next. Kavino and Rich, right here. Back on F.
