So all the dumb things we talk about, all the fun we have, a lot of times video goes along with that and it makes it even better. So go check it out. Like yesterday, you did a great Stephen A. Smith impression. It was all right. I was in the moment. Our video guy spot has a picture of Stephen A. Smith where his mouth is just moving. You know, it is. There's two sides to Stephen A. Smith. There's the, the fact of the matter is this right? And he gets all fired up and he loses all control. But then there's very apologetic sub dude Stephen Smith. And I'm very sorry. And is that side of him right? So that's what I did yesterday when he apologized for counting out Lamont Roach Jr say I didn't give that brother a chance. He didn't. But then again, nobody really did and he stepped up and he arguably won that fight against Tank Davis. Which end so we love a great fight. We love some sports, we love a nice heiny. We love hanging out here with you. Fox Sports Radio on a fat Tuesday. Give me some party music, man. By the way, that's how our friendship began and how we started working together. Kavino and I were like, yeah, what do you like? Like sports and good looking women. Me too. Yeah. Let's hang out for the next decade or so. And today we celebrate people with fat asses. All right. Yeah, I mean we could do that. But I was, you know, maybe lean it a little more towards FOX Sports rad. Today we're going to go over your favorite fat athletes. It is Fat Tuesday. So those overweight stallions, those mammoths in the world of sports that put on a couple pounds over the years, honor them. And you know, we use the word fat loosely like fat for their sport. But I'm posing it in a different sort of way because there's one all time great that can't be debated. He's the king of all fat athletes. Right. So we're going to say, well, who's that guy by sport? Who's the greatest by sport? So who's the greatest fat boxer, football player, basketball player and more. Plus Shaq Diesel trivia. Giving away prizes today. So if you want in 87799 on Fox. But again, I hope you had a great Tuesday so far. I had a thought for you. Now, this is not official by any means. Start thinking about your chubby athletes. We're going to get to that. Plus Ohtani and Travis Hunter. There's a debate that I think is worth exploring here on the show. It's a lot of fun, but last year the rally cry of the New York Mets, I don't know if you have it on standby. I was saying, but oh my God, Candelita Iglesias was a spark plug plug for the Mets. There's rumors now that he might be talking to the Yankees. Do you welcome the oh my God to the Bronx? Yeah, but I hope he makes like a new song. Would you, would it be like Mets leftovers if he just brings like the oh my God. I don't want that weak ass song to be a Yankee rally cry. Omb. Oh my beard. Yeah, I want them to play like he needs a new Locon caca or something. Yeah, like something else. Like a different type of reggae tone sounding song. Like I don't want to. Yeah, I don't want your leftovers like a dog. I don't want that. But I would welcome him. He came up big. Why wouldn't you want. He was the heart of your team. What if the oh my God was in the Bronx with Judge? I mean I would have rather have Alonzo. Do you just take those OMG signs and spray paint them navy blue. I can't say he's on my wish list. What position he play again. He plays everywhere. The whole thing of Yankees need a third baseman. Otherwise they got Oswaldo Cabrera, who I like a lot. But hey, if you're getting anything out of this, just know we're what, 24 days away? 23 days away. Today's the 4th, right? 23 days away. Opening day. Let's go. Baseball in the air. Or is that. What is that? Those tacos in the air? It's a Taco Tuesday. It's a Fat Tuesday. I just wanted. Wanted to just throw it out there because Jose Iglesias, sure, I'll take the answer to your question. Why wouldn't we take him? He came up big. He brought a lot of heart, a lot of fun to your Mets. I just would hope he came up with a new song that we could rally around. Cause that's too synonymous with your last year. Mets. But you could almost be like, yo, Mets, we got the vibe now. Cause that was sort of. That was sort of what brought the fun. Having the vibe isn't as cool as you having Soto. I'm not going to pretend like that's like some sort of great kid. I'll be honest. Who had a more fun season last year? You had a fun season, but you didn't make the World Series. Who had a more fun season last year? You had a great, arguably, as a fan who enjoyed 20, 24 more, by far, the Mets fans, because they had a vibe. I'm telling you, you might now acquire that vibe for cheap, too. And I'm cool with that. Just come up with a new jam. He's got to have more than one hit in his bat and in his catalog. At least I hope so. His new hit single, I do sm. But on this Fat Tuesday, I hope you're having a Saquon Barkley sort of day. Not a Kyrie sort of day. Saquon 2 year 41.2 million, first ever 20 million plus running back. He's with the Eagles through 2028. I'm sure Dan Beyer will tell you more about that. And then, of course, Kyrie last night tore the acl, most likely out for the season. And he's taking his foul shots now. Was that sweat or tears running down his face? Like in pain or in sorrow? Like, what was your take on that? It looked. It looked like it was tears because he. Right. He was frustrated. And I think. Is that tears of frustration? Seriously, frustration. Because he had been playing so well this season. And even after Luka was traded away, he was the glue keeping the Mavs team Together, especially with all the bad luck they've had with injuries. Doesn't it remind you of when Kobe toughed 100% the free throws after a serious injury? Oh, without a doubt, man. Yeah. And the second he went down, you saw the grimace on his face. When I say grimace, I'm not talking about your stupid Mets. Oh, you want grimace too now I'm talking about, you know, he looked like he was in pain. It was a sad sight. There was a lot of strength there with the fans cheering him on. He made his foul shots, his free throws. But man, sad story if he is out for the season. But if everybody else is out, then really what's there to play for? Anyway, sit it out. Why? Why extend yourself so torn acl. But is it the curse of Nico? If we have time, we'll talk about other like bad luck streaks or even how to get out of them. Yeah, and I think the reason is cove because they were hoping for when Anthony Davis return. You saw just a glimpse in those two and a half quarters of the two of them together. So there was hope for them to get in even if it was a play in game and get into the postseason. No? Yeah, I know. But again though it was two and a half quarters like that's where you know it was nothing really. But really sad story. So I hope you're having a Saquon type of day is what we said. But because it is a Fat Tuesday, why not start with that? Let's get into it. 87799 on Fox @ Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Rich was today years old, believe it or not. Not to embarrass Rich. He admitted this already on our Patreon show, our personal podcast. There's things I admit there I wouldn't admit here, but go on. He admitted that he just realized today that Mardi Gras meant Fat Tuesday. I'm not saying I'm the expert on Fat Tuesday by any means, but I did like reasoning and I thought it out and kind of knew that I'm just saying I've been so I sort of figured that out already. Been to Mardi Gras, we've been to carnival, we've been to New Orleans a bunch of times. It never dawned on me that what'd you say about Bobby Carnival? Fat Tuesday in French is Mardi Gras. And I just never connected the dots for me, common knowledge. Everybody know that you might be learning that now? I was saying that Danny G. Don't look so shocked. I thought Fat Tuesday was a part of Mardi Gras, like, all week, right? As did I. I thought Fat Tuesday was like, the special day, but the party. Mardi Gras is just the day. And it's fat because we stuff our fat faces leading into Lent, Ash Wednesday, manana. But maybe I'm not the only dope. Danny G. Did you know that? I did know this. Oh. But I was gonna say, but then again, I'm a fat lard who ate there in New Orleans for a week straight when I was in my 20s. And that's when I found out it's always a party. Right. So that's why I think we assume that because they do party the time in Nolan's. And I just. There's a ton of bars called Fat Tuesdays and, you know, on resorts, I just never knew that Fat Tuesday, you can bar any day of the week, anytime you want. You could earn your beads anytime. You don't have to do it just today. Which, by the way, Rich said, like, if you haven't done that, you haven't lived. Yeah, I think that's on a bucket list of, you know, domestic travel, New Orleans, throw some beads to someone flashing you. Isn't that sort of like checklist, like, bucket list? No. Everyone should do it once you ain't lived unless you did it now. It's Fat Tuesday. Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday. That's what it means now. You know, Rich just found out. We all find out things at different times, I guess. What's the most embarrassing thing you found out later in life? I'll admit. Another one. I may have said this on the show, but, Danny G. Growing up, I was always the type of guy. I grew up in New York. I was, you know, surrounded by great bagel places and pizza. I would always get an everything bagel, bacon, egg and cheese, or if in Jersey, Taylor, ham, egg and cheese. But if I got it just plain, I would get butter. Because I think my family convinced me, oh, you don't like cream cheese. And Rich said, I can't believe it's not butter. I was not a cream cheese guy. And I'm housing a huge, big ass piece of cheesecake. And I'm like, whoa, this is delicious. And someone goes, so you said you didn't like cream cheese. I'm like, I don't. They're like, what do you think the main ingredient of cheesecake is? You do now. I'm like, you know, I never thought about it. Cream cheese, dummy. Sorry, that's mine. I'll give you that. I didn't know, cream cheese was the premier ingredient. There's always some sort of music fun fact or historical fun fact. I'm like, did I know that? I don't think I knew that. And you learn something new all the time. Like recent. Not recently, but somewhat in recent history. I'm like, wait, come on. Feel the Noise is a cover song that's not an original by Quiet Riot. I don't think that's a big one, dude. I'm just saying, I don't think I knew that. Who knew that some rock geek would be like, mind blown, you know? To a rock geek, that's a common knowledge thing. I'm talking about how when I was in high school, I realized that pickles and cucumbers were the same thing. I think that's one I learned later in life, too. That was like. And that's just you guys being boneheads. You gave, like, a nerdy rock fact. Like, oh, I did a little court Roy. It's an example, you goon burger. Every once in a while you'll hear a song like, oh, I didn't know that was a cover. Yeah, I always thought that was an original. Or you find out, like, that's who sings it. I didn't know that guy was in that band. I thought. I didn't know it was the same guy. You always find out something different. I don't think I knew that. Like, Peter Gabriel. And give me the two guys in Genesis, Phil Collins. Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel were in the same group together. Wasn't that right? Yeah, well, they replaced. Yeah, he was just the drummer. And then Phil Collins became the lead singer and drummer. And drummer. I don't think based on that, I was saying, I don't think I knew they came from the same family tree of bands. I don't think a lot of people know that Michael McDonald was in the Doobie Brothers Show. That's one where it's like, there's people like, wait. I mean, kids don't know about Lionel Richie being in the Commodores. That's a great one, too. Did they not watch what's Happening? That was a famous episode when Rerun was recording the doobie brothers. Michael McDonald was in it to bring this to sports really quick. People do this with sports logos. Been looking at them our whole life. And what? You talk like, the brewers logo and logos like that. What, in that logo? I didn't know the Chicago Bulls logo upside down was a robot violating a crab. Yeah, but Danny, have you ever seen that or. No, no, of course. But Danny G Brings up a very famous one. The old school brewers logo is a baseball glove, but it's mb. It's the M and the B. And for some people's common knowledge. And for some people, oh, I was yesterday years old. So Rich, just realized Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday. Now, based on that, you can debate me all you want. When it comes to fat athletes, and I say this respectfully. There's one who's above and beyond the king of them all. And you could picture him with his crown and probably six hot dogs on standby. He's smoking a cigar. I'm talking about the Babe. Yeah. Babe. Yeah. George Herman Ruth. Yeah. I thought you were gonna say Bartolo. No. Why are you taking my number one answer? Well, if he's the king of them all, who else comes to mind? And can you rival him in any other sport? Like, who's the Babe of football? Who's the Babe of boxing? Basketball? I mean, since you brought up music, who's the Babe of rock stars? It. Meatloaf. Who's the Babe of rock stars? Meatloaf. And by the way, you talk about Jack Black, you talk about logos. Yeah. In the middle of the Montreal Expos, did you ever notice the lowercase E for Expos? Or did you just think it was, like a red, white, and blue, like M or something? I always thought that was the stupidest logo, to be honest. It always confused me. The Montreal Expos, it looks like Elo, but it's just an M. It's a tricolored M. Electric light orchestra. It looks like Electric light orchestra does. Just like the new Kia logo. Looks like Nine Inch Nails, but it does. Yeah, right? Doesn't. So when it comes to sport, like. All right, Rich, Ready? Let's play this game. If Babe Ruth is the king of fat guys in baseball, and there's others that come to mind already said Bartolo Cologne. He's definitely. He was the king of hot dogs. If he was the king of hot dogs on a Fat Tuesday, who is that in the world of boxing? Because I think I have the answer. And I got to give Mike, who runs this place, credit. Who? Butterbean. Mike Butterbean may come to mind. Especially when you look at Mike, you think of Butterbean, you throw a goatee on Butterbean, it might be Mike. Oh, damn. But when it comes to the Kings, Mike said George Foreman. And he might be right, because when he came back and he won that belt at, what, 41 years of age, he was not the mean, dominant, slim and trim George Foreman that you had seen against Muhammad Ali. So that might be the answer just based on his physique and his, you know, how far he took it. What's up, Dan Beyer? I just want to say two things. Number one, Mike does not run this place at all. Absolutely not. But in defense of Mike, who does not run this place, this guy has done one heck of a job over the last couple of years of getting his body in shape. He looks good. So how dare you, Steve Covino, take a shot like that to a guy who has worked hard, who has sat on a bike for hours upon hours just for a cheap little laugh. I'll tell you what. It makes me feel bad that I'm a Covino guy. Yeah. Yes. I may be more Davis than I thought. I'm totally gonna redeem myself, Dan, because apparently you haven't seen Butterbean lately. He got in with Diamond Dallas Page, and he's in the best shape of his life. So clearly you haven't seen the update. I met him. Back to being a Kavito guy. What do you know? I met Butterbean now. Hello. He's in great shape, thanks to Diamond Dallas Page. But by the way, I'll correct myself. George Foreman regained the heavyweight title at 45, and Mike brought him up immediately. I'm like, you know what? Yeah, in retrospect, he wasn't that fat, but he was not in great shape either. He was husky, right? So he comes to mind. You can go by sport. You could just throw some names out there. Honestly, it's not even a criticism. We're giving them props today because think about it. They were unassuming, yet they took their skill level to the greatest of heights. And for that, you got to applaud him. Like John Crook comes to mind. He's always the baseball guy, right? So, yeah, he didn't look like the greatest specimen. But you know what? He was an all Star and you were not. Again, you're naming husky guys. I'm talking Prince Fielder. That was a big fellow. But here's the question. Who's better, him or his papa? Because they both ended with the same amount of home runs. I'm guessing 309 or something like that. Yeah, but they had the same amount of home runs. So who comes to mind? We're given props. That's really what it is on a fat Tuesday. You got to think the panda, Pablo Sandoval. He's a hit man. Oh, yeah. And his buttons were always bursting anywhere. He was a clutch big fella, you know, that's where it translates. I think the. Well, you could say football, too, but you got to be quick in football. Baseball is such a skill sport. You could be out of shape. You could be fat and still be great. You just could be. I mean, there's guys like Trent Williams on the 49ers that some say he's like the most athletic guy on the team, but he is a monster. You wouldn't say that's fat. He's just. I don't know how to describe it. He's just big house. The house. Now, Refrigerator Perry. Is that a good answer? He really was just. It's a really good answer. It is. And a guy was, you know, scoring touchdowns. Big boy, loved to eat. You know who comes to mind in today's world, too? Alejandro Kirk of the Blue Jays. You ever see the physique on this dude? You're like, this guy's a ball player. And yes, he's greater than we could ever be. So you got to say these things respectfully, but it's the truth. Yeah, I think we're being kind about it now. Do you have. Do you have the call Iowa Sam of when Bartolo Colon, who 9 out of 10 times when pitchers would hit in the NL. I follow Bartolo closely. He was one of the fan favorites for the Mets. And you know, the guy played on a ton of teams. He was the type of guy that would swing at a pitch, wouldn't get close. And when he did get close, his helmet would fly off. He'd spin around like a T ball kid that's spinning in the batter's box. Like his at bats were not attractive. His at bats were not those that you study the tape on. They were almost Bugs Bunny cartoonish. But he was so likable. That's why I use his cologne till this day. Bartolo when I want to feel sexy. Smash like grilled meats. Bartolo cologne. The essence when of man. When he hit his lone home run. The call by Gary Cohen on SNY with the Mets. It was. It was a call that almost sounded as though the Mets won the World Series. Like the Mets hit a walk off in the playoffs. If you've never heard this, which I'm sure you have, let's reminisce on Fat Tuesday. My answer, other than the babe in baseball, has got to be Bartolo Colon looking for his first hit of the year. He drives one deep left field. That goes Upton back near the wall. It's out of here. Bartolo has done it. The impossible has happened. So funny as far as fan favorite, he has to be brought up in conversation. Is he better than the babe? Absolutely not. But definitely a great answer in this conversation. So again, what is Fat Tuesday? Fat Tuesday is held the day before Ash Wednesday tomorrow. And it's a great time for Catholics or anybody to celebrate before the beginning of Lent season. So a lot of people, a lot of Catholics give up something starting tomorrow. So you stuff your fat faces today in honor of that. Who else comes to mind? I like the Refrigerator Perry answer for football boxer. We got Butterbean comes to mind. But George Foreman has to be the guy. Big George, he was big George Foreman, basketball who See again, when you think, you think like what the, the, the later years of Charles Barkley. But even then he was just a solid dude. He wasn't fat Big Baby Davis. My thought goes to Dan Byer. I don't know if you're with me on this. I was thinking Oliver Miller. That's exactly who I was going to say. Yeah. And then Kavino said Big Baby Davis, which was, I think, a good answer as well. Yeah. So again, we that's my nickname when the Mets lose, by the way. Yeah, exactly. When Rich is crying. So we're going by sports, we're giving props and we're taking your phone calls next at 87799 on Fox. Hang tight. It's a Fat Tuesday. We're partying here on FOX Sports Radio. Now, there's still parts of the country with leftover winter. It's out there.

I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League, and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say and not just just about hockey. Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and it's going to be, well, it's going to be quite the ride. We're officially linemates, Nate. We're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers, and wait to see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do. Provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing, Julie. I'm ready to roll. Listen to Energy Line with Nate and jsb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Fat Boys. The Fat Boys are back. And you know they could never be whack. The Fat Boys meeting. Cavino Rich, Danny G. Spot, And Iowa Sam. DB's got your updates. And thank you guys for being here on a Fat Tuesday. Mardi Gras. The Fat boys famously went to the buffet and ordered two each. Chubby Checker in the Fat Boys. Remember that? Yep. Doing the twist. Our little twist here on Fat Tuesday is, look, Babe Ruth is the king of all fat guys in sports. Question 1. Is there any other quote unquote fat athlete that even rivals him? And who is the babe for each sport? Who is the Babe of football, basketball, boxing? And we said rock stars. Maybe the fat boy's rival, Meatloaf. I don't know. That's a good one. And I'm really gonna depress you now when I give you Babe Ruth stats. Any guesses? Because I'm like, well, how fat was the Babe? Because it's really depressing from today's standards. Is he over six foot? How tall was the baby? Okay, he's over six foot, over 200 pounds. Now, while you think about it, let me remind you we're live from the tirerack.com studio. Don't have the right team on the core Express Employment professionals can help. From contract placements to full time hires. We've got you covered. Visit ExpressPros.com today and let us handle your hiring so you can focus on growing your business. Or your waistline. Or your waistline. Sorry. The babe. 622 60. Wow. Am I close? You're dead on with the 62 according to Google. But they have him listed at Danny G. 240, 250 Sam. Any guess he. Well if he's got to be like over three hundo, rumor had it that he would have what like six hot dogs a game. And the answer is according to Google. 622 15. No way. That's what I wear a bad weekend. That's like a tall running back. That's like a linebacker. When he gets to salvage. I think he had the stature of like Ben Maller who we work with. He was an apple on a stick. Just a, like a big bone dude. There's no way. Maybe. And if you look, I weigh more than that. There's photos with that of him without a shirt on. Like he's not fat. He just had a big fat head. No, I'm. This is bs. Look it up. We're on the radio. But I'm, I'm exactly 6 foot and I weigh about 195. There's no way food is different. There's no way that Babe Ruth was 2 inches taller than me and like 20 pounds. In my mind he listen, I met Roger Clemens once. Not name dropping. That's a guy that. I didn't realize how big he was. Roger Clemens is deceptively huge. He's like six, five. Look it up. And he's a brick. How Babe Ruth six two. Yeah. I keep every search and I even put what was Babe's real weight and it comes up as 215. Some pictures he looks a little heavier. Like this one over here. Yeah. Later in life he had to be pushing 260, 270. I'm just telling you what it says. So again, who else comes to mind? We're actually giving props in a weird backwards sort of way. But we really are because it takes great skill to be in this conversation. Do you mean all these people that have had but ridiculous success and money and fame for being great athletes? They just happen to be big guys. And on Fat Tuesday we pay tribute. I said My number one, other than the babe. She has to be Bartolo Colon. Only because he was a fan favorite and he had an elastic arm. Man, he was so he was good for so long longevity. The innings and empanadas. He probably ate. The guy was an inning eater. Punishment. He had more empanadas or more innings pitched. The guy was. And if you see those early days of him when he was like a skinny dude on the Indians. Oh, yeah. But Bartolo not only was a fan favorite, deceptively a great defensive pitcher. And just that one home run alone that we played before makes him my number one now in basically. Can I make one more nomination? Because no one brought up hockey yet. Yeah. And I'm going to bring up the fat guy in Nintendo hockey. There was always. Remember in Nintendo hockey you would go two medium guys, one skinny guy and one fat guy. You could pick if you want to a skinny guy or fat guy. So I'm going to pick the fat guy as my honorable mention because I don't know any other hockey player. Before we go to the feedback, do we want to take the answer? Because I feel like there's a baseball player we're all leaving out. Well, yeah, let's go to the phone call. Can I. Could we also think about our favorite fat wrestler? Oh, that. That's. You know, it has to be two days after John Cena went. Heel wrestling's big in the news. I have a couple, but I think there's a number one answer. He's not the most popular because I'm thinking King Kong Bundy was pretty badass. So was Bamba and Bigelow or Earthquake. But Yokozuna, his whole gimmick, he was a sumo wrestling. He'd sit on your face. Gross. He did the banzai. All right, let's go. What about Dusty Rhodes? Dusty Rhodes, he wore polka dots. Not a good look, Israel. They're slimming, though, in Texas. What's up, man? Kavino, Rich. Your favorite fat athlete on a fat Tuesday. Not the best. Not my favorite athlete. Not the best athlete. But one of the best moments was Andy Ruiz knocking out. I'll never forget it, man. And again, you hit the nail on the head. And I believe Perfect said this off the air. He goes, dude, what about that Mexican guy that won the heavyweight title? I was like, you mean Andy Ruiz? Remember everyone was saying he looked like the little kid from the movie up. He looked like the kid from the movie up when he won that when he beat Anthony Joshua, I was watching by myself because no one cared I was watching at home by myself. And he became the first Mexican heavyweight champion in history. I thought it was always going to be Chris the Nightmare Areola, but it was Andy. I'm a chubby Mexican Ruiz and I couldn't have been happier. I got out of my seat. I think I shed a vato tear that day. I really did. I was so happy. You did. You called me. Enjoy. Like bro. Turn it on. Chubby kid did it, man. It was awesome. Andy Ruiz. But again, that dude packs a nasty punch. When he tries to get in shape, he's not as good. All right, let's say what's up to Ron in North Carolina. Ron, on a fat Tuesday, who's your favorite big guy? Hey guys. What's up man? Hey, big fan of the show. Thanks, man. So indeed so in Detroit traduesdays, also known as punchti day, where we serve these extra decadent filled donuts with. Dude, we got them here. Perfect. Brought them in today. He told us they were like a polish. What are they called again? They're delicious. Differently. Yeah, yeah. He has raspberry ones, Nutella ones. I had a custard one. Oh man, they're good. Oh yeah, that's awesome. And then there's a distillery. Makes a punchy day vodka. So I think they're releasing this weekend now. You got me more hungry. I'm going to eat more of those profet pastries. Hey, leave some for Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington. It's so good. Did I eat any? Do you want to know how many I have? How many for real? I've only had one fat guy here, but yeah, man. Do you have any athletes that come to mind? So in Detroit, Jerry Ball, I mean he was always on Madden Thanksgiving Day, just a big guy. And wasn't Barkley called the round mound of rebound? Yeah, but that's the interesting part about it, right? The round mound of rebound. Charles Barkley, when you look back, yeah, maybe compared to other guys in the NBA he was not a fat guy until like later on in his life and now he's in good shape again. He was, he was just thick. He was just a big dude and that's really it. He was thick with a lot of Cs, but yeah, Jerry Ball was. Yeah, he's a big dude, man. I'm looking at him on the Vikings right now. Real big dude. Let's say what's up to Ryan in Toronto, Covino and Rich. What's up man? Hey guys, appreciate you taking my call. I got three off the top of My head. I got John Daly for golf. My all time favorites in football was Vince Wilfork. And then since you mentioned wrestling, I got onto the Giant. Andre was more big than fat, but we had Vince Wilfork on the show at the Super Bowl. That guy trimmed down in retirement, yo, for sure. He was one of those. He was one of those guys that was keeping on the weight, clearly for the purposes of being a. Without a doubt. And who else did he say? John Daly. That's a good one. That's. He's the Babe Ruth of golf. Easily. Right? Like that one. That. That. Is that even debatable. If you sent Vince Wilfork through like a drills and conditioning test, he'd get through it. But if you sent John Daly through the same one, he'd be, like, gassed, no doubt, because he's a golfer. Like, you know, I mean, and that's. That's why I said a guy like, different skills involved. Big Trent. Big Trent Williams on the 49ers, you could say, well, he's a big guy. That guy would whoop all of our asses in any drill or anything. They always talk about how his athleticism and endurance and everything for a guy that's a left tackle, a guy that's. Oh, yeah, you know, it's unbelievable how some of these guys are conditioned at that size. Have you seen the recent videos of Micah Parsons trying to bull rush a sumo wrestler? Oh, wait, no, I haven't seen. How did I miss this? Yeah, it is. He doesn't move the guy. No way. Micah Parsons doesn't. And see, because, you know, C.J. stroud and him are friends. They have their podcasts. But Stroud's on the off the side laughing at the strength of these sumo guys. That's why you got to wonder, like, yo, maybe Yokozuna protect the blind side of someone. I don't know. Get some. Get some sumos in there. You know, maybe the 49ers. That'll, you know, that'll entice Brock Purdy to sign for a little less money. So we're paying tribute to some skillful big men who are the Babe Ruths of each sport. Other honorable mentions on a fat Tuesday. Who we got? We got Tripp. You're on in Vegas. Our buddy Tripp. Hey, man. Hey, Trip. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Thanks for taking my call, as always. No problem. I had to kind of redirect because some have been said, first of all, the most popular heavy boxer would be King Hippo. You know what King Hippo, number one answer yeah, but once you punch him in the mouth, it's over, man. Yeah, get him in the mouth and belly, belly, belly, belly punch in his mouth, his pants full, dead. And it's all over after that. And then Mark Henry for wrestling and then for golf. I would have said daily, but since the gentleman said daily, I'm going to say Greg Sadler. Thank you, man. You could have ended at King Hippo. That was great. King Hippo might have been the best call of the day. You know, he was a Yankee. He was a Yankee killer. And he's just a great personality in the world of sports. I mean, his name was Big Poppy. Would you say he. I mean, he wasn't a slender guy. He was a slender by any means. And he looks great now, though, which is amazing. Right in his prime. He's in better shape. I mean, he was such a big dude. Maybe not necessarily fat. There were times where Big Papi was so big it looked like the baseball bat was a twig. But you know what? It was also part of their game. It's like they didn't want to be slim and trim because they would lose their power like, like CC Sabathia, man. He admits now he kept that weight on so that he had more juice in his fastball when we were really little kids. Dave Parker, remember he led majors forever getting hit by pitches because he was so big next to the mound. Yep, yep. Don Baylor too was always getting hit. Let's go back to the phones at 87799 on Fox. You know what, let's go to db.db first. Your phone calls next. What's the update? Dan Byers, Philadelphia Eagles made running back Saquon Barkley the highest paid running back in NFL history. He broke the $20 million barrier two year extension with $41.2 million. The new deal gets Barkley $36 million guaranteed and there's another $15 million in incentives. As part of the new contract, jets released veteran wide receiver Devonte Adams. Vikings did not use the franchise Tag on Quarterback SA on just two players this year. Packers signed kicker Brandon McManus to a three year deal while the Rams traded offensive lineman Jonah Jackson to the Bears in exchange for a sixth round pick. Cowboys had CD Lam restructure his contract, freeing up about $20 million in cap space. They also signed offensive lineman Osa Adigazuwa to a four year, $80 million extension. He will not. They did not need to use the franchise tag on him. Dallas also re signed corner C.J. goodwin, Kyrie Irving and the Mavericks done For the year with the torn acl, Magic have called it a season for Gar Jalen Suggs, who hasn't played since late January. He underwent surgery on his injured left knee and will not return this year. Guys, back to you. Hey, thank you, Dan. Dan. We're listening to. But we're baffled how everywhere we look, it says that Babe ruth was tops 215 pounds, which does not seem real. That seems impossible, but that's what everything says. I'm looking up everything. Like, even at his heaviest, it's all 215. Some sites say he weighed 200 pounds. Yeah, I don't think his face. Like, if you look at his face, there's not like he's got like a double chin or anything. Why do we think he's fat like a big guy? He's big boned. Maybe because he was always eating hot dogs. That's so it's in our head. I mean, John Goodman played him in a movie, portrayed him in a movie. And John Goodman at that time in the early 90s, was a hefty dude. Yep. So we're paying tribute to other big dudes on this Fat Tuesday, and we'll get to all your phone calls and feedback next. More Kavino Rich. Coming up, it's Julie Stewart Banks. I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League, and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters, and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say, and not just about hockey. Believe me, he does Energy Line with Nate. And JSB is the name of the podcast, and it's gonna be, well, it's gonna be quite the ride. We're officially linemates, Nate. We're the energy line. We'll have plenty of folks join us. Current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers. And wait till you see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay. We'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do. Provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing, Julie. I'm ready to roll. Listen to Energy Line with Nate and jsb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast podcasts. All right. Thank you for rocking with us. Appreciate that. Patterns. That's our Dr. Phil impression. Patterns. Patterns. Thank you for making us. Part of your pattern. Fat Tuesday, 877-99-on Fox. Everything at Covino and Rich. Now again, it's Marty Gr. Fat Tuesday. Paying homage to the big men in sports. Big fellas. Big fellas. Yeah. The Yokozunas and big poppies and Bartolo colognes of the world. The Butterbeans. I mean, we're talking skillful people here. No doubt. And that's what makes them great, because they're unassuming people. Probably, like, downplay their ability, you know? These dudes are next level for sure. And we'll start with Ray. Let's just take these real quick. We'll go boom, boom, bam, bam. It's like my dad with directions. Yeah. I made a left and went bang, boom. Then boom, bam, bang. So let's do it. Ray Dayton. What's up? Tony Saragossa. Oh, my God. That tackle on Rich Cannon. Unforgettable. Yeah. Rest in peace. Good night. I came out. I came across a picture of you and I with the goose, and it was so cool to see. Should have been a 15 yard penalty. He was such a cool dude. Who else do we got? That is John in Cincinnati. Hey, John. Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my call. What's up? So I've got a couple of ones. Basketball, Chocolate Thunder, Darryl Dawkins, and from baseball, Tommy Lasorda. He might not have been an athlete, but he always had a beer belly. That's true. That's so funny. Yeah. And he was a player early on, and he was. Yeah. Chocolate Thunder. Sounds like a good nickname you'd want in the bedroom. Chocolate Thunder, man. Yeah. Yeah. Who else do we got? Joe and Flow Rider. What's up, Joe? Hey, Joe. Gentlemen. What up? I got the hefty lefty for you. The heaviest quarterback to play the game. Jared Lorenzen. You know, call. That's a great one. Because I remember being like, this guy's a quarterback, okay? The hefty lefty. We actually. Sam brought him up. Got to give Sam some credit, too. I'm like, yeah, absolutely belongs in this conversation. And again, it's a very specific thing. Got to give them their props. Not him. Not Cece. I thought of another hefty lefty. I don't want to take anyone's answer, but he was a Yankee. Give me a hint. He was known to wear the hat of Babe Ruth. I was going to say Jabba Chamberlain. That's who I shot first, too. I thought he said, until you said another lefty. I'm like, wait, Jabba didn't. He wasn't there. Oh, no. David Wells. David Wells. You know, remember, it was Jabba Rules. Yeah, people forget the whole phrase was Jabba rules. The buffet. All right, let's go. Shabbat rules. Bad dad jokes. Doug in Ohio. What's up? Hey, what's up, Doug? Hey, guys. Enjoy listening to your banner on the way home from work. Nice. How come you guys aren't including the fairer sex into this conversation? I don't know if they take it as well. That's a fair point. I think if we started naming bigger women, if I was like, guys, fabulous moolah, I don't know if that would work out so well. I don't think so. And if you ask these dudes, they'll acknowledge it and they'll tell you that's what made them better. A lot of them do. And they lose that weight, they don't have the same effectiveness. In fact, Doug, why don't you do that experiment for us? Yeah. Tell some of the women. You know, I couldn't think of any, really. I really couldn't think, honestly. Same, same. But women are always welcome to participate. 877-99-NOx. Who else do we got? Josh in Englewood, Ohio. What up, Josh? Josh. Hey, guys. My guy is actually an honorable mention. He's not necessarily a fat guy, but I think his name alone deserves recognition. I had his 1990 NBA hoops card. Fat lever. Fat lever. I remember the name. Yeah. Fat lever. Okay, he's a fat lever. What about Sid Fernandez? Did you say him? How did I forget? That's a good one. Sid. L. Sid. Number 50. And he was, what, Hawaiian was he? He was Hawaiian, yeah. Sid Fernandez was a beefy left fat lever, huh? About a current fat Le. 2,000 lbs. About a current NBA star where the narrative has been about his weight for a few years now. Zion. Yeah. Pushing 300. And fat libro, by the way, was a small point guard, so he was not fat at all. Lafayette was his first name. It's like when you call fat guy slim. It's the eight other ironic. Yes. Well, it's Fat Tuesday. Celebrate. Stuff your face. Enjoy your punch keys. Punch keys, whatever they are, they're fantastic, I'll tell you that. And. And we're going to talk some Shaq Diesel trivia.

Let's go. Tuesday. Fox Sports Radio. This is Nikki Glaser from the Nikki Glaser Podcast.
