1. Valentine's Day Reservations Fiasco

The episode kicks off with a humorous discussion about the challenges of securing restaurant reservations on Valentine's Day. Rich Davis introduces the topic by sharing a comedic take on forgotten reservations and the lengths one might go to secure a table.

• Steve Covino (00:52): "If you forget to make a reservation for Friday, Valentine's Day... 'I have this confirmation.'"
• Rich Davis (01:09): "See? You wouldn't want to argue with an old timer."

The hosts and guests chuckle over the idea of faking reservations and the potential fallout, leading to playful banter about the feasibility of such tactics.

2. Potential NFL Comebacks: Aaron Rodgers and Beyond

A significant portion of the discussion centers on the possibility of retired or sidelined athletes making comebacks in their respective sports, with a particular focus on NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

• Rich Davis (03:40): "We're going to get to one of your Yankees. Cavino, how is Devin Williams going to change baseball forever?"
• Steve Covino (06:04): "Why not just say he doesn't play and then the minute, unfortunately, someone will get hurt. That's where Aaron Rodgers steps in."

The conversation explores various scenarios where top-tier quarterbacks might return to save struggling teams, drawing parallels with legendary players like Tom Brady.

• Rich Davis (06:46): "Would he be mentally and physically ready and prepared to jump right back into the NFL after that?"
• Steve Covino (08:32): "He's one of one. The guy, you know, went to 10 Super Bowls, won seven of them."

The hosts debate Rodgers' readiness compared to Brady's sustained excellence, considering Rodgers' recent performance and mental preparedness.

3. Facial Hair Policies in Sports: The Devin Williams Debate

A passionate segment delves into the New York Yankees' controversial facial hair policy, using pitcher Devin Williams as a case study. Rich Davis criticizes the policy for undermining a player's confidence and intimidation factor.

• Rich Davis (36:46): "He feels like a little baby boy out of place without the beard."
• Steve Covino (36:51): "Let him grow his beard back. He looks so... if you're facing him, would you want to face that little baby boy or the guy with the beard?"

The hosts argue that facial hair can significantly impact a player's persona and performance, advocating for more flexibility in such team-specific rules.

• Rich Davis (37:54): "Let the dude do his thing. Let him be confident. Let him be lights out."
• Steve Covino (38:07): "The Yankees will eventually allow a maintained scruff, a maintained beard moving forward. That's my guess after this."

Further, they discuss societal perceptions of facial hair, its influence on attractiveness, and its role in sportsmanship and team dynamics.

4. Audience Interaction: Who Still Has the Juice?

In a recurring segment, the hosts engage with live callers, discussing which retired or sidelined athletes might still perform at a professional level if they chose to return.

• Caller Rog (25:51): "Herschel Walker could still help the team big time."
• Rich Davis (24:48): "We all thought it. I think we all felt each other."

Topics include mixed martial artist Keith Thurman's potential comeback, baseball players like Robinson Cano and Jamie Moyer, and NFL stars like Andrew Luck and Marshawn Lynch.

• Rich Davis (27:25): "Andrew Luck... maybe he could come back."
• Rich Davis (23:08): "I don't think Conor McGregor could... I would love for him to prove me wrong."

5. Midweek Major: Pop Culture Meets Sports

A dynamic segment blending sports updates with pop culture references, "Midweek Major" covers various trending topics and viral moments.

• Monty (54:04): "A viral video of John Rocker and Patrick Mahomes Sr. exchanging words on Bourbon Street."
• Rich Davis (57:13): "Serena Williams addressing her viral appearance during the halftime show."

Highlights include:

• Barstool's Event: Former MLB pitchers John Rocker and Patrick Mahomes Sr. gearing up for a planned confrontation.
• Super Bowl Halftime Show: Kendrick Lamar's record-breaking performance and Serena Williams' unexpected participation, sparking debates and social media buzz.
• Celebrity Sightings: Discussions about athletes' appearances in movies and their crossover into entertainment.

6. Conclusion: Embracing Change and Confidence

The episode wraps up with reflections on tradition versus modernity in sports, emphasizing the importance of individual confidence and team flexibility.

• Rich Davis (43:42): "Do you look younger and worse or older and better? That's the question for you to make or for you to answer."
• Steve Covino (51:22): "These are very specific... This is my prediction. It's going to be such a thing because the pictures surface today and everyone's going to be making fun of him."

Key takeaways include:

• Adaptability: Teams and athletes must adapt policies to individual needs and evolving societal norms.
• Confidence: Personal grooming choices can impact an athlete's performance and public persona.
• Tradition vs. Innovation: Balancing historical team values with contemporary player expressions is essential for harmonious team dynamics.

What do you mean? If you don't think I made a reservation and they might be like, oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Right this way, sir.

You don't think I made a reservation?

[Danny G]

Sir, get out of my face.

[Rich Davis]

That's ridiculous. That was your dirtbag tip.

[Monty]

I mean, here's what you do. You go on like a resi or an open table. You make a reservation for, like, let's say a month advance, and then you Photoshop the date so it looks like you made it for February 14th. Then you show it to them. Be like, I have this confirmation.

[Rich Davis]

See?

[Danny G]

Damn, that's good.

[Steve Covino]

You think that's good confirmation.

[Danny G]

Show up without any sort of bruise.

[Rich Davis]

Show up and you make a stink. You have to. I made a resurrection. You have to show up like an oldtimer. See, I made a resi. Why would they want to argue?

[Monty]

My table, please.

[Rich Davis]

You wouldn't want to argue with an old timer. Like they don't want to argue with Dick Tracy. Exactly. Yeah. Reservation? Yeah.

[Spot]

Don't be a sucker and go out to a restaurant. Restaurant that night. It's like going out on New Year's Eve.

[Danny G]

I'm with Danny G. I agree.

[Steve Covino]

But. But then again, reminder. There are some people, and I'm not saying they're a pain in the ass, but there are some women and Men sure that need to do things on that day, right? One of our best friends. One of our friends, Shannon, my. My wife's best friend Shannon is one of those, like, it's my birthday dinner tonight. We're like, it's Tuesday or Wednesday.

[Rich Davis]

Can we go Friday?

[Steve Covino]

And she's like, but today's my day. Like some people want to do it on the day. I feel like your ex is like that.

[Spot]

Well, that's nice, but Valentine's Day is made up anyways. Jesus wasn't born on that day.

[Steve Covino]

Camino's ex wife wanted him to skip Spot's wedding because it was on like someday, wasn't it?

[Rich Davis]

It was on her birthday or something.

[Danny G]

Nice.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

What a keeper.

[Rich Davis]

Looking back, I maybe should have. I don't know. Anyways, we just kidding, Spot Spots on the videos at Covinoenrich. Danny G super producing. What up, Danny G. What up, man? He's got that Barry White voice ready for Valentine's Day. Yeah, baby.

[Steve Covino]

You gotta sing some power ballads to Brenda, baby.

[Spot]

I brought some El Pollo Loco home.

[Rich Davis]

He's gonna be like, sing some boys to men. The love I have right next to me is here and always will be. You'll be singing some boys to man. Never gonna let you go.

[Steve Covino]

Okay. Hold you in my arms forever.

[Rich Davis]

So Barry White getting ready. So Danny G and his buttery voice is on standby. 99 on Fox. Iowa. Samuel. What up, Iowa? Sam, he's on the ones and twos.

[Steve Covino]

Rich.

[Rich Davis]

Rich, met Shannon at your party.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, good looking lady. A lot of the guys were asking, hey, Shannon.

[Monty]

I met all three of them.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, Shannon and her friends. And Mon is here.

[Steve Covino]

We're going to get to one of your Yankees. Kavino, how is Devin Williams going to change baseball forever?

[Rich Davis]

Well, today's a special day. Not only two days away from Valentine's papa, but it's pitchers and catchers reporting.

[Steve Covino]

Man, I thought that was Friday.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, no pitchers.

[Steve Covino]

Valentine.

[Rich Davis]

Pitchers and catchers are reporting. So we're getting closer and closer to baseball, which always helps the post super bowl blues. So I'm excited about that.

[Steve Covino]

NBA Laker updates. We're going to talk about Robbie Cano, but I got to give us a quick update on a really fun conversation we had yesterday. We were talking about Aaron Rodgers and we spent a good amount of time having a really funny yet informative conversation.

[Rich Davis]

Well, we went over every team, really. Where could he possibly end up if he doesn't retire?

[Steve Covino]

It really was a team by team breakdown of, oh, he can't go there. Next. Can't go there next. All right, that's a possibility. Dan Byer was weighing in. Danny G. We all had our thoughts.

[Rich Davis]

And we said 27 giants, there was a few possibilities.

[Steve Covino]

Raiders, there was like five or six teams. We narrowed it down, the 26 teams. It just impossibly. I was talking to my dad on the way in. Oh, I haven't talked to you. Super bowl week. Sounded great. Caught up with my dad.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, hi Rich, it's your father.

[Steve Covino]

And by the way, every voicemail he leaves me starts with, hi, Rich, it's your fault.

[Rich Davis]

Hi, Rich is your father.

[Steve Covino]

I know, I know it's you, dad. And he said that was a great conversation. And we talked about it even more. And by talking it out even more with dad, it's like, you know what, I see it going totally different. I go, what do you mean? He goes, well, Aaron Rodgers is such a peculiar yet intriguing dude that in the world that all you guys live in today, can't this guy team up with someone and just do a podcast and make a ton of money? And then the season starts and inevitably, unfortunately, there will be a top tier quarterback that goes down.

[Rich Davis]

Happens all the time, unfortunately. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And Danny G, you ever thought how yesterday we never even thought about the idea of that team doesn't exist yet because it could be a top tier team that loses QB1 and all of a sudden Aaron Rodgers is the answer to come in and save the team.

[Spot]

Yeah, we didn't go over that.

[Steve Covino]

That was like the one blind spot we had in that conversation. Like there could be any top Tier team, the 49ers, you know, the Eagles, the, the Bucks. There could be any team that's a good NFC team or AFC team where QB1 goes down and the quick fixes, man, we have so much talent, we can't just throw the season away. Aaron Rodgers, and I think that's the answer because I don't think there's a very clear one. So since there's no clear fit, we're trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Why not just say he doesn't play and then the minute, unfortunately, someone will get hurt. That's where Aaron Rodgers steps in.

[Rich Davis]

It would be a great possibility and a great solution. But would he be mentally and physically ready and prepared to jump right back into the NFL after that? Yeah, I mean, you would have to.

[Spot]

Hope and assume he's got a big ego. So to sit around and be like, oh, I'm away. I don't know if he's that kind.

[Steve Covino]

Of guy, Rich, but He would also love to be the guy that comes in and saves the day.

[Spot]

That part is true to it.

[Steve Covino]

Goes down, unfortunately. Knock on wood. Mike McDaniel. Yo. Aaron Rodgers. One year deal. Goes down to south beach, saves the day.

[Rich Davis]

There's a hero.

[Steve Covino]

Joe Burrow. High ankle sprain, out for eight weeks. There goes my hero.

[Rich Davis]

Aaron Rodgers comes running in.

[Steve Covino]

Justin Herbert. Oh, man. Rotator cuff.

[Rich Davis]

He can be a hero, baby. We're off to find the hero of the day, Aaron Rodgers.

[Spot]

And yet we can't get this guy to do karaoke at listener events.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, no, no. Only when I want.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah.

[Danny G]

When it comes out organically.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. When you put pressure on me. I don't want to sing. We need to be spontaneous.

[Steve Covino]

Sing some Metallica.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, yeah. Let's do it. Me and you, Sam. Ooh, yeah. You mean next year's halftime performers? Let's hope, because it's in San Francisco now. You know what, Rich? I think that is a strong possibility, but only if he's, like, mentally prepared in that way. I'm not saying that he falls off, but what if he really makes a solid mental decision that he's done? Sometimes when people make that decision, it's hard to come back from it. Then again, there's so many pro athletes in world of fighting and football where they get that itch. You know, they say they're done, but they want to play again.

[Steve Covino]

I know he is, you know, one of one. The guy, you know, went to 10 Super Bowls, won seven of them. There's a part of me that thinks Tom Brady could step on the field tomorrow. But then again, he's conditioned. TB12. That's his. You know, he looks better now than he did coming out of the combine 25 years ago. But you don't look at Tom Brady and say, you know, if he wanted to at, what, 46 next year, you don't think Tom Brady, if he wanted to, could. Could be the quarterback of your Raiders.

[Spot]

Danny J. Oh, just this past postseason, there's the video of him throwing the nice tight spirals to Gronk. Pre game and Internet blew up. Like, see, this guy could join a team right now. He could suit up for the Raiders if maybe he signs his ownership shares to his son.

[Steve Covino]

Did you happen to see that clip of Colin when Tom Brady was on the Herd? Tom Brady talked about how when you hit a certain age, your football knowledge, like Tom Brady's football iq, is unmatched. He said that super bowl he went into against the Chiefs, he knew what every defender's like. Little ticks and movements were. He knew by looking at a linebacker, are they going to come at me or are they going to drop back? Because he studied so much film. Like when they, when their arms move, like, I could tell, you know, they're not going to rush me. Tom Brady so studied and so disciplined that I think just based on his football IQ and the fact that he stays in shape, could still be a quarterback. So if you don't think Aaron Rodgers could take a six month little break, come back mid season if a team needs him. No doubt.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but Tom Brady was still playing well in his last season. Aaron Rodgers hasn't played well in two years now.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but he turned it on towards the very end.

[Rich Davis]

I didn't say sucked, but he wasn't Aaron Rodgers.

[Steve Covino]

Aaron Rodgers also did come back in like record time. He didn't come back because they didn't need him, but he was on pace to come back in record time from an Achilles injury. So it's not like he's Old Man Winter. It's not like he's Bartolo Cologne trying to get back on the mountain. Okay.

[Rich Davis]

But his focus is in a cave somewhere, on a darkness retreat, playing the bongos. Tom Brady's focus was on football. There's a big difference there. Where's your mind at? Where's your head at? As the basement Jack said. And by the way, since you brought it up, if you think Tom Brady could get back out there and if you think in this hypothetical Aaron Rodgers would just step out of the podcasting booth to jump right back into football, this brings up the Robinson Cano story today.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Robin Canoe thinks he could very well just hop right back on an MLB team. And I'll tell you this, every sport's different, right?

[Rich Davis]

I don't know if I buy into that, man.

[Steve Covino]

Every sport is different. Of course, that's a very blanket statement. Let me explain. The downward curve at the end of someone's career is steeper in all sports. Like, you fall off that cliff at different heights. In different sports, like the NBA, you go from averaging 26 to 22 to 18. You know, production goes down, you're a little slower. Football, you know, wide receiver gets a little slower. 900 yards instead of 1200. I feel like in baseball, some of these sluggers, it's just over. I don't know what happens. You go from hitting 30, 40 bombs, hitting 260, 270. And then all of a sudden it's like 18 home runs batting. 201. It. In baseball, it Happens quick. And Robbie Cano, you saw him go from a guy that was batting.300 something with a lot of home runs, knocking in a ton of ribbies, he still.

[Rich Davis]

Ended his major league career. 17 year major league career batting.301. So he's still over.300. Great hitter. He was so slick and so good in his prime at second base that he got a lot of criticism for being lazy because he looked slay z. He looked like he was playing lazy because he played so smooth and so effortless.

[Steve Covino]

Give me a year like, like a prime year for Robbie Cano as a Yankee or a Mariner. Give me like just a home run, RBI average stat line like in, like a Robbie Cano all star year.

[Rich Davis]

I'm going to have to look it up because I was looking up his Mexico stats.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, you are, you are in mexicoreference.com.

[Rich Davis]

I was on mexicoreference.com that's where he played last. And that's why people think that he still got some juice. If you don't know, he played in the Mexican League and before that he think he played on the SpongeBob SquarePants team. And I'm not even making that up. Ooh. Way to go, Canoe.

[Steve Covino]

The point I was going to make was.

[Rich Davis]

Hold on. But he lit it up in the Mexican league batting like 460something or 430something. And he was hitting bombs and he was on this major streak. So people were like, he's still got some juice. But Robbie Cano, yeah, his best years were with the Yankees for sure.

[Steve Covino]

I got it right here. It took you too long. Here we go.

[Rich Davis]

It wasn't long. I was telling you about the Mexican League.

[Steve Covino]

Robbie Cano, a great example of a typical Canoe year, let's say 2013 with the Yankees, his last year before he decided to go to Seattle, before he.

[Rich Davis]

Went for the bag and ruined his career.

[Steve Covino]

41 home runs. I'm sorry, no. 29. Ho. Hold on. Here we go. One second. I'm sorry. 27 home runs, 107 rubies. Bet at 314. The year before that, 33 home runs, 94 RBI, 313. And then you go from that to like you already referenced. I was going to say you're playing on a minor league team on Spongebob Squarepants night and there's like, you know, 600 people in the stands and you're. And they're like, yeah, that used to be Robbie Canoe. Like Robbie Canoe, to quote, you know, one of my favorite movies that you've never seen because you're too cool. Angels in the outfield. Your boy, Tony Danza. Remember, the kid goes, you used to be Mel Clark. And he's like, kid, I used to be. I'm still Mel Clark. He plays the aging pitcher.

[Rich Davis]

I'm still Mel Clark. Oh, great cast.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, how is it not Danny Glover, Christopher Lloyd, Tony Danza. Kavino's too cool for that, as he would say. When did that come out, the 90s? I was too busy getting ass.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, it's true. What if Matthew McConaughey.

[Steve Covino]

Matthew McConaughey's in it. McConaughey plays center field. No, he gets lifted up and catches a ball monster. You know what else he hasn't seen? Mighty Ducks. You know why? Because I was too busy out chasing ass.

[Danny G]

Okay, I get that. You were chasing ass back then. You're not doing that now. So you can watch him now.

[Rich Davis]

I am.

[Danny G]

You already got the ass, so stop.

[Rich Davis]

You could have taken all these girls on a date to your home to watch these movies. I know. And then gotten what you want.

[Danny G]

You can watch him now.

[Rich Davis]

Why would I watch that now? With your daughter?

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

I wouldn't do that.

[Rich Davis]

You want to watch sports now? She's scrolling on social media.

[Danny G]

Mighty Ducks is so fun.

[Steve Covino]

Classic.

[Rich Davis]

So good.

[Steve Covino]

I made a Gordon Bob Bay reference recently, and he's like, I don't know what you're talking about. I see.

[Danny G]

So you didn't break up with him.

[Steve Covino]

But much like Mel Clark. I used to be Mel. I used to be Mel Clark. Robbie Cano. Yeah, he used to be Robbie Canoe.

[Rich Davis]

He also used to be on steroids. And, you know, he used to make bad decisions for leaving the Yankees.

[Spot]

What if some of his bombs in Mexico came off of Trevor Bauer? That change your mind?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, that would be good.

[Steve Covino]

Because they ever.

[Rich Davis]

No, they never. Well, because Bowers better than half the pitchers in baseball, according to Bauer. Yeah. So based on this, though, because there's a common thread going on, could Aaron Rodgers say, I'm going to continue as a broadcaster and host of Sports Jeopardy. All of a sudden come back in the league if someone gets gets hurt? Can Tom Brady still play? Can Canoe still play? Because Canoe said that today it's pitchers and catchers. Everyone's talking baseball. Canoe says that he could still play at a high level. He could play Major league baseball. What are. Or are there other athletes that come to mind? Realistically, where you think, I bet they could still play. Dwight. Dwight Howard comes to mind because the Lakers needed a big man. Right. And he's always chirping like, yo, Terrell Owens was always in the conversation. He kept his body fit. But now a lot of time has passed.

[Steve Covino]

I'm glad you said that, because we're.

[Rich Davis]

Past the Kaepernick stuff.

[Steve Covino]

For years, to was the guy where.

[Rich Davis]

I was, that was the answer.

[Steve Covino]

I remember thinking, like, man, is he that much of a pain in the ass that no one wants to take a chance on him? Because, remember, he would show his own combine videos, and he was ripped and he'd sleep in, you know, the. The chamber where he would reverse his aging. And I thought to was the answer. Oddly enough, I made fun of him moments ago, but I really think pun intended. I think Bartolo Cologne could still eat innings. I. Maybe not now, but a couple years ago. Bartolo Colon is just a guy.

[Rich Davis]

Well, he never.

[Steve Covino]

He never threw 100.

[Rich Davis]

I wouldn't downplay it, because he had that. That rubbery arm, and he's a crafty pitcher. You know, he probably still has some heat because he's got a lot of weight behind it, so I wouldn't. I wouldn't say no to that. How old is he?

[Steve Covino]

I mean, now spot H. Check me on Bartolo Cologne. I know it's also your favorite fragrance. Bartolo Cologne Cologne by Bartolo51.

[Monty]

Rich.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, obviously he can't do it now, but I really think if you rewind a couple years, there was video of him, like, throwing bp. And Bartolo Colon was never a guy that overpowered you. He just threw 88 to 90 and knew where to place the ball.

[Rich Davis]

Who could still compete at a high level if not professionally? Doesn't matter the sport? Because even in the world of fighting, I don't know if you saw this, Rich, but Keith, one time, Thurman is saying he's making a grand comeback in 2025. You see it in fighting all the time because they get the itch, and fighters never know when they're done.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, you know what? There's a. There's a guy that played for my team last year and played for months, AU and Danny G's Dodgers. Is there any gas left in the tank for J.D. martinez? He looked lost at the ball. Yeah, I was gonna say last year. I mean, I know he's adventuring into pickleball now, but J.D. martinez, there were rumors like, yo, his veteran presence is so. He's a great clubhouse guy.

[Danny G]

Exactly.

[Steve Covino]

But there were times last year where I knew the pitcher was throwing an outside slider, and he would just chase and miss by five feet, like, oh.

[Rich Davis]

I got a hot take. Ready? Has anyone said this based on this conversation, I truly think Gronk could have been more productive if he played this season than Travis Kelsey. As lazy as Kelsey looked in the Super Bowl. Have you seen some of the tape of this dude? He wasn't even moving on half of those plays.

[Steve Covino]

There are some.

[Rich Davis]

That's embarrassing.

[Steve Covino]

There are some isolated plays from the Super Bowl. Super Bowl. There are some isolated plays from the super bowl that made Travis Kelce look like he was the last guy off the snap every time.

[Rich Davis]

Not blocking Mahomes, you know, just outing.

[Spot]

He's never been a big blocker. I've seen video on him before where.

[Steve Covino]

He'S no George Kittle.

[Spot]

Yeah. I mean, his M.O. is get down the field 15 yards and stand around kind of and wait for Mahomes to scramble and throw to you.

[Rich Davis]

You see him throwing his hands up like I want.

[Spot]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

He's looking lazy. And I'm not hating. I'm just stating I like Kelsey.

[Spot]

He was extra pouty as. As well as Mahomes was in the Super Bowl.

[Rich Davis]

And if you don't believe me, I didn't notice it during the game. Watch the tape. There's a lot of clips that are surfacing on social media and you're like, wow, that dude didn't even block anybody. And the guy he was supposed to block ended up tackling either the running back or Mahomes. Damn.

[Steve Covino]

I know it's slow mo on Instagram or TikTok, but there are plays that they're showing where the ball is snapped. And he's a. He's a good, like, second behind everyone else as far as reaction and the defenders getting two steps before Kelsey's reacting.

[Rich Davis]

Like Gronke could have been Gronky. More productive. I think. I think he could still play a little bit.

[Monty]

Sucks when you don't have the refs on your side, huh?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Who else comes to mind? Fox Sports Radio Nation, 87799 on Fox. There's a difference between he looks like he could still play and then really believing he could still play. Like we just interviewed Drew Brees. Dude looked like he could still play. He looked like he was in great shape. He looked young.

[Steve Covino]

What did he say to you?

[Rich Davis]

He said that he thinks he could if he didn't have arthritis in his shoulder.

[Steve Covino]

He said the last year that he played his football IQ and he was giving himself props. He said I. I could. He said I could still play today. Mentally, mentally, but. And his physically, his whole body. He just said his shoulder. He's like yo, anything beyond 30 or 40 yards, I said, yeah, just couldn't do it anymore.

[Rich Davis]

Even his last season, he was just, you know, short passes here and there. Couldn't. Couldn't throw it deep.

[Spot]

He said he couldn't throw past 45 yards.

[Steve Covino]

He said if everything was under 40 yards, he could be elite right now in the NFL.

[Monty]

He said if he could, like, use his other arm, trade his other arm because it's fresh, that he could definitely play.

[Rich Davis]

So who else do you think is sitting around that could still play?

[Steve Covino]

I. As we get to the phone calls, we're going to talk about those retired players. NBA, NFL. A lot to get to today, but as now a coach of, you know, my daughter's softball team and my son's baseball team.

[Rich Davis]

I thought you were the manager. Make up your mind.

[Steve Covino]

When I say manager, you make fun of me. So what do you want?

[Rich Davis]

I want the truth, Rich.

[Steve Covino]

I'm the manager.

[Danny G]

Transparency.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

So it's a bummer. Still. I got that feeling of like, oh, man, it's raining outside. Practice is canceled. Like, today was supposed to be my son's first t ball practice and it's supposed to rain all week here in L. A.

[Spot]

Did you cancel it? That also makes you the general manager.

[Steve Covino]

I had to be. They said fields are closed today. Yeah, I'm a GM and the manager and the coach.

[Rich Davis]

Wow.

[Steve Covino]

And I'm just running things.

[Rich Davis]

That's awesome.

[Steve Covino]

Shout out to my. My buddy Jeff Supon, former baseball pitcher, is the guy that runs my kids pony ball. Get him out there.

[Monty]

Come on.

[Rich Davis]

What a league. They got Jeff Supan and the softball king of the valley, Rich Davis.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, how do you lo.

[Spot]

You think Soupon could still throw in the majors?

[Steve Covino]

You know, he looks trim and good for like, you think he's in his mid to late 40s. No offense.

[Rich Davis]

No soup on for you. He's been retired for a while and. But you know what? That's what we're asking right now.

[Spot]

Sam, play the rim shot.

[Rich Davis]

Who do you think could make that sweet comeback and still be able to play and compete at a professional level? There's a lot of stories in the news. We brought up Tom Brady. That's an obvious one. Aaron Rodgers. If he were to retire, he'd be on standby for any team that would need him in an emergency because there's always a star qb, one that goes down in the beginning of the season. He'd be the guy that would be able to jump in. Robinson Cano. As of today, pitchers and catchers, Robinson Canoe in The news saying that he could still play at a professional level. He's 42 years old though. Who else comes to mind? I told you, in the world of fighting, fighting one time, Keith Thurman wants to get back in the ring at that 140 pound division and compete with these young guys.

[Steve Covino]

Listen, one of my, one of my favorite fighters, not because I like him personally, because he was just exciting. Anytime someone says, oh, Conor McGregor, I'm like, I don't want to see it anymore.

[Rich Davis]

Because that's a perfect example.

[Steve Covino]

Father time.

[Rich Davis]

My friends and I would never talk smack. I would love to see it, but I don't believe it at all as far as I think he's washed. And I would love for him to prove me wrong. I would never say it to his face. I'm a fan, but I don't think he could do it. Remember, Joe Bimel was trying to do that.

[Steve Covino]

Yo, Joe Bimel, former baseball pitcher, former Dodger, Danny.

[Rich Davis]

He was real close to making a professional comeback.

[Steve Covino]

He does baseball clinics for kids in high school and college and young pros. Joe Bimel in his early 40s was throwing more heat than he did in his big league career and he actually got a minor league deal. And I was hoping it worked out.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, because there was new methods of training. He actually got bigger and stronger as a result, got more heat on his fastball. But again, father time one. But he was real close to making it back to the big leagues after retiring. So who do you think, just based on the eye test, I guess, and how people take care of themselves, could actually still play? I do think Gronk could still play. He's in good shape. He's thinner now, but I think, you know, he could have still played if he wanted to.

[Steve Covino]

He could bulk up.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And by the way, let's bring it back to the original thought and then, Danny, I want to hear your thoughts and we'll go to the phones. The original thought was yesterday we at length we talked about where on earth could Aaron Rodgers land. And it never dawned on us to think, well, maybe nowhere he doesn't retire, but he, you know, chills out and then inevitably there will be a top tier team that loses a quarterback due to injury and incomes. Aaron Rodgers to save the day and Camino saying, will he be ready? And I think the answer is yes.

[Spot]

Yeah. Not too long ago, I remember seeing Marshawn lynch being interviewed and he said he felt like he could still run over some players.

[Rich Davis]

That's another one.

[Danny G]

Weird that you said that because that's who I had in my. On my.

[Rich Davis]

In my mind.

[Danny G]

I was gonna be like, am I crazy to think Marshawn lynch can still go out there?

[Rich Davis]

We all thought it. I think we all felt each other.

[Spot]

Those last couple of seasons with the Raiders, he obviously wasn't as fast, but he still could bowl defenders over, right?

[Danny G]

That's what I'm thinking. It's like, I'm not expecting him to be quick, but I think he could be effective.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, you know, he's in a movie. I saw him in a trailer or something for a movie. Either that or I dreamt it, guys. He's also got a podcast with Gavin Newsom. Well, hold on. Does anyone listen to it?

[Steve Covino]

I may.

[Rich Davis]

I may have had the weirdest dream, but I'm pretty sure he's in a movie.

[Spot]

I think we're all dreaming right now.

[Rich Davis]

I don't know. What are we talking about? Marshawn Lynch.

[Monty]

I think he's been in several movies.

[Steve Covino]

What's more likely to him playing the NFL again or for anyone to listen to a podcast with him and Gavin Newsom?

[Rich Davis]

He's in Kean movie.

[Monty]

Love Hurts. That looks pretty good.

[Rich Davis]

Love Hurts. Oh, yeah. There's billboards out for it right now that just came out last Friday, so I was ready. So he might be able to still play, but he's got a whole other career sort of taken off as an actor. Ain't that wild? Marshall Lynch. So we'll wrap it up with your phone calls. Who do you think still has the juice?

[Steve Covino]

Roger. Hey, Rog. Vermont, you're on.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, what's happening?

[Steve Covino]

What's up, buddy? I said, Rog, and you said, what's happening? How about that?

[Rich Davis]

What's up, buddy? Yeah, well, yeah, it's.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, Rog works. What up?

[Rich Davis]

So this is not. Not really current, but I think into his late 40s, Herschel Walker could have still helped the team big time.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, he was ripped and in shape.

[Spot]

Yeah, he was trained while he fought in the ufc, right?

[Steve Covino]

That's right.

[Rich Davis]

He did. Yeah.

[Spot]

He was the answer to this question a decade or so, 15 years ago. He's, like, 60, 61.

[Rich Davis]

He kept himself in great shape. That's the thing. Not all athletes do because they live and eat the way they used to, and they don't make those adjustments post their career and either get way out of shape or they just stopped lifting like Gronk did.

[Steve Covino]

You know, what about. What about a wide receiver? We said to. But I mean, after he retired, Ochocinko still seemed like he Was taking care of himself, doing, you know, media stuff. Do you think Ochocinko, a couple years later, if he wanted to, could have pushed or. I feel like the end of his career, he was fading. Even when he was on a team.

[Rich Davis]

I always got that. That vibe.

[Steve Covino]

Let's go to Joel and Cincy. What's up, Joel?

[Spot]

Hey, what's up, y'all?

[Rich Davis]

Hey, buddy.

[Spot]

So one guy I think that nobody's talking about pretty recent, and I think.

[Rich Davis]

He would still ball out and probably.

[Spot]

Be top five in his position at pro level. Andrew Luck.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah. If he wanted to take the chance.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. He retired and his body didn't go.

[Steve Covino]

Through a full, you know, full, full.

[Rich Davis]

Career of NFL play, so maybe he could come back.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

It made me think about, does he.

[Steve Covino]

Have a belly now, though? I'm picturing Andrew Luck.

[Rich Davis]

With Andrew Luck. Yeah. But he had such skill. He's such a skillful player. What happened to Victor Cruz? Why did he retire?

[Monty]

Too much salsa dancing.

[Rich Davis]

Too much salsa dancing.

[Monty]

I think he turned a salsa dance instructor. Isn't it? Isn't that true?

[Rich Davis]

You know, like, Gurley got hurt. I'm like, wonder if one of these guys that were sitting around like a Todd Gurley was sitting around, but then they realized, you know what, man? I still could play. I rested off the injury or something. Some of these guys are so young, man.

[Steve Covino]

Some of them retire early. Like, McAfee retired early to do a podcast.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, he can.

[Steve Covino]

Victor Cruz retired early to do salsa dancing.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, he's working out better than. Victor Cruz is only 38 now, and he's been out of the league how many years?

[Steve Covino]

What's up, Nick and Cincy?

[Spot]

I was saying Jamie Moyer, I think it's still.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, that dude was 147 when he retired.

[Steve Covino]

Jamie Moyer could collect Social Security and still play.

[Rich Davis]

You know who stuck around? I put them together in my brain. Darren Oliver. Remember how long that guy played?

[Steve Covino]

Darren Oliver.

[Rich Davis]

That dude, I think, was playing forever.

[Steve Covino]

I feel like Darren Oliver. If we were to play on the road again, I think Darren Oliver played for every major League baseball team.

[Rich Davis]

But Jamie Moyer, he looked like he was at least 55 when he was still playing.

[Steve Covino]

Well, you look up Darren Oliver. Let's go to Mossy for an update.

[Danny G]

Yeah. Yeah, guys, that's right. Thank you. And in the NBA, Bucks star Damian Lillard will be out for tonight's game against the Timberwolves to allow a full recovery. Damian Lillard?

[Steve Covino]

No, no, the team. Bucks star. No, the other team.

[Danny G]

Minnesota.

[Steve Covino]

Minnesota. What?

[Danny G]

I'M gonna keep saying all the words that are correct.

[Monty]

Everything but the words.

[Rich Davis]

She's dancing around it.

[Steve Covino]

The timber what?

[Danny G]

Timberwolves.

[Steve Covino]

Wolves.

[Danny G]

Timberwolves. I really don't hear it. Like every. Everyone tells me, where's your L?

[Steve Covino]

Where's your L?

[Rich Davis]

Wolves.

[Danny G]

Did you get confused or did you knew who I was talking about?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, no, you. Oh, okay, great.

[Danny G]

Thank you.

[Monty]

Just being incredibly rude.

[Danny G]

Monsoon.

[Rich Davis]

He does be petty.

[Steve Covino]

Rich.

[Monty]

All the time.

[Danny G]

All the time. Yes.

[Monty]

Welcome to the club.

[Danny G]

Back to Cavino.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you, Masi. I love you. Happy Valentine's, mama.

[Danny G]

Happy Valentine's Day.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you. Okay, let's watch the Timberwolves, Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports radio live, the tirerack.com studio. Back to hanging out.

[Monty]

That's amazing.

[Rich Davis]

We'll take the rest of your feedback at Covino, Rich at Fox Sports Radio.

[Monty]

I love you, Monty.

[Rich Davis]

Who do you think still has the juice? Who do you think could still play? Pitchers and catchers have reported. So we get all excited about baseball. At least I do. I know everyone here does. Dodgers fans do post football blues. If you're not into the NBA, then you're like, all right, baseball, let's go.

[Steve Covino]

Isn't it sort of funny when you do see some of your favorite big leaguers come back a little out of shape?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And they get back into shape real quick. But you realize that from September, October through the holidays, there's some guys that put on 5 to 10 pounds of, you know, a little dad bod action. And then, you know, by opening day, they're good. But I haven't seen some of the Mets. I'm like, what's going on with this guy, people?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Juan Soto looks like he's six months pregnant.

[Steve Covino]

Stop it.

[Rich Davis]

I saw the pictures. More like Juan Blodo. Juan Blodo. Good one, bro. I like that one.

[Steve Covino]

Juan Blodo. You would like that. You would like that.

[Monty]

Good thing you didn't go home, Sam.

[Rich Davis]

He's going to be a soccer player. He is. He's definitely pregnant. But you're seeing players in a different uniform. Verlander in his giant skier, right? Oh, wow.

[Steve Covino]

I'm just shocked. That's the first time I heard someone say Juan Belloto. I know.

[Rich Davis]

It's a good one. I'm mad. I didn't think of it. A factory over here. But Devin Williams is known for being one of the best closers in baseball. He's now a Yankee. Now, if you could picture Devin Williams, he had a bit of that intimidation factor because he had that sweet beard he had a nicely groomed beard that fit his face.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, completely intimidating. Other than when Pete Alonzo hit a three run home run off of him to send the brewers home and have Bob Euker's last call before he passed away be terrible.

[Rich Davis]

That was a sad one. Besides that, I mean, Devin, it wasn't like a. A hobo beard. It wasn't disheveled. It was very maintained. He looked handsome.

[Steve Covino]

I'll be honest. Handsome dude. Handsome Latino guy with a beard.

[Rich Davis]

And he said that he hadn't seen himself without the beard in years because he was being questioned, hey, when's the last time he shaved? He's like, I couldn't tell you. And he said he'd hold onto the beard for as long as he could until the Yankees made him shave it. They've reported he shaved his beard and it's not good. And I saw him and I was like, go. I couldn't believe what I saw. I'm like, where's the rest of his face?

[Steve Covino]

Moncy, I just texted you the picture. Have you seen the before and after?

[Rich Davis]

It looks like he's missing. I'm not saying he's a bad looking guy, but the beard balanced out his face so much, it elongated his face a good three inches. I feel like he's missing three inches. Four inches of chin.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, right?

[Rich Davis]

It's like a baby.

[Danny G]

It's like a different person.

[Steve Covino]

He looks like. He looks like. He looks like a badass dude that you would not want to face.

[Rich Davis]

Now he's a little alien fetus.

[Danny G]

Like, aw, who's this new kid?

[Steve Covino]

He went from intimidating closer to, is that the ball boy looks like Mac.

[Spot]

And he looks like boss baby now.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

So. And here's the kicker. He's saying that, you know, the beard gave him confidence. And I know that sounds lame, but that's why I think this could cause a change. And we'll explain next.

[Steve Covino]

Reach out to your siblings. I say this because the Kelsey brothers said before they did their podcast, they would go months without any communication. And I know it's easy because. It's easy because, listen, I live in la, my brother lives in Maryland. My sister's months now.

[Rich Davis]

In today's world, texting and social media, like, there's no excuse to not shoot your brother a text.

[Monty]

Just start a podcast with your brother.

[Steve Covino]

I've, I've talked. I talk, I talk to my sister, you know, like, at least once a week or so just to be like, hey, what's up? How's your kid? How's everything? My Brother, though sometimes life's busy. We could go a month without talking.

[Rich Davis]

Busy? Dude, you're on the bowl doing the scroll. You can't shoot somebody a text message.

[Steve Covino]

My brother is one of those guys. We all have one of these friends or family members that turns their phone off. You know that person who turns their phone off?

[Monty]

I know.

[Danny G]

Who don't they aspire to be?

[Rich Davis]

That 85 year old people who think you still have to.

[Steve Covino]

My phone's not near me. I think my brother's that guy. You know when someone's got like a wife that controls them? I think my brother puts down his phone when he gets home and is not allowed to touch it. I really.

[Rich Davis]

It's possible.

[Steve Covino]

But hey, just to point it out, say hi to your brothers and sisters. Your siblings. Because now I look at my kids and I'm like, man, I hope they get along when they're older.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

But the Kelsey bros, who are the most famous brothers, let's be honest, in the world right now, said before their popularity of new heights and before they were working together, before them, it was.

[Rich Davis]

Ozzy and Jose Canseco, right?

[Steve Covino]

No, it was Billy and Cal Rip and his baseball bat that said.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, how could I forget?

[Steve Covino]

No, it was. Who? Your favorite brothers. Oh, Danny DeVito and Arnold.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Spot]

And way back in the day, the Necro brothers.

[Rich Davis]

They were 185, still pitching in the big leagues.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. I was gonna say when you were talking about old players, that could still do it.

[Rich Davis]

They did. They could probably still do it somehow. So anyway, say hello to your siblings. That was a random thought only because.

[Steve Covino]

Everyone'S thinking about Valentine's Day. But I saw that headline, I'm like, you know what? I guess people get busy, but when you see your kids, if you're a parent and you see your kids, they don't.

[Rich Davis]

Rich as the great Pee Wee Herman said, what is. And I quote, what are you?

[Steve Covino]

I know you are, but what am I busy doing?

[Rich Davis]

What? He's taking his bath. Really?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, really?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, really? Your brother's so busy.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, dude, I will call him.

[Rich Davis]

Everybody's busy.

[Steve Covino]

The first ring goes right to the left.

[Rich Davis]

Send a text to somebody.

[Steve Covino]

The first ring goes right to voicemail. Does not mean they're rejecting you. It's like the phone's off. Like, it's like, what are you?

[Danny G]

No, that was a rejection. If it was off, it would go straight towards.

[Steve Covino]

Although I think a lot of times it just goes straight to.

[Danny G]

There you go.

[Steve Covino]

And if you text them, it has that. You know, when someone's like they have their phone on silent or like they disturb.

[Danny G]

Yeah, do not. I have my phone on do notification silence.

[Rich Davis]

I think the reminder here is it takes zero effort, right, to reach out through social media, like someone's post or send somebody a text, period. And that Kelsey story is odd to me. That's really odd.

[Steve Covino]

Well, they were both.

[Rich Davis]

Cause they're so, they seem so close now.

[Steve Covino]

You're right. But, but again, they said not only did Travis Kelce, as Monsieur said in the update, not months. Not only is he saying he's going to put a timeout on discussing his future, they talked about how months would go by and they wouldn't talk. That's weird. Now they make millions together.

[Rich Davis]

So back to the story of today. Pitchers and catchers report. Devin Williams of the Yankees, former Brewer, now Yankee, had to shave because that's the policy. We all know that because it's been questions so often, like what an outdated policy. Some players, they reluctantly shave their beard. They don't want to do it, but they do. But you could also leave the mustache.

[Steve Covino]

Remember, I feel like you and I talk about this more than any other sports TV or radio show in the nation. But this Yankee facial hair policy I think is one of the more outdated team specific rules possible.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, what are the Yankees paying Devin Williams?

[Steve Covino]

$8.6 million a year.

[Rich Davis]

$8.6 million a year.

[Steve Covino]

But an elite closer type, an elite.

[Rich Davis]

Closer with high expectations.

[Steve Covino]

He will be a big asset to your bullpen for sure.

[Rich Davis]

That's the goal here. That's the point. That's the investment. That's why they got him.

[Steve Covino]

And what does a closer need more than most positions to be honest?

[Rich Davis]

Confidence, intimidation factor, all those things. This is why this proves that change starts with one person. I believe Devin Williams to be that one person. There's been a lot of people along the way, from your Giambis to your Johnny Damon's, it's going to be him. Because you can't have that weenie looking guy on the mound late in the innings with the lack of confidence because he doesn't have his beard. Honestly, I'm like, if you're going to invest $8.6 million in this guy a year and you want him to do his job, let him feel as confident as possible. It doesn't make any sense to me, you know, so at this point, if you're really serious about winning and that's what this guy's saying, I'm not saying this guy. Guys, Devin Williams says he's most confident with his beard. He Feels like a little baby boy out of place without the beard. Let him be him. I know that sounds stupid. And why is all his confidence in his beard anyway if that makes him feel cooler? It's like when Andy Pettit would pull his hat down. You put that intimidation factor on.

[Spot]

Dave Stewart did that.

[Rich Davis]

Dave Stewart was known for that. Let the dude do his thing. Let him be confident. Let him be lights out. You got to let him grow his beard back. He looks so. If you were facing him, would you want to face that little baby boy or the guy with the beard?

[Steve Covino]

Here, See the pictures and this is years ago, the Photoshops and the actual real pictures of James Harden and then James Soften.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, you don't want to play James Harden. You want to play James Soften.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, you whoop James Soften's ass.

[Rich Davis]

James Soften's not intimidating.

[Steve Covino]

Now, the crazy part about this is that Covino came to work today with a parody. He found some little fun video on social media.

[Rich Davis]

Well, the premise is this based on the beard, right? Because you see what a difference it makes. This guy's face was shortened, like, a good three to four inches. Not that he's not handsome. He still looks handsome. He just looks like a little baby boy. And the whole shape of his face is different. This goes back to a Jim Gaffigan joke where he says that the poor man's facelift is growing the beard. The beard is the poor man's facelift. It really is, because it makes you wonder what's going on under there.

[Steve Covino]

Danny, I've known you three plus years now here at Fox Porch.

[Spot]

Three and a half years.

[Rich Davis]

Danny doesn't even know what's going on under there.

[Steve Covino]

Do you even know what's going on under there?

[Spot]

I have pictures from high school, but.

[Steve Covino]

Danny, since I've known you.

[Rich Davis]

High school was a while ago.

[Steve Covino]

Since I've known you. Danny, you have a beard and a mustache. You got Spot beard.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, Spot shaved his beard off, like last year or something. And I was like, you look different, man. Yeah, but he didn't shave. Shave.

[Monty]

I haven't completely shaved in a while.

[Rich Davis]

Razor to skin. Yeah, he went like, full scrub, so he didn't shave shit. Even that, like, altered my perception of Spot. But this poses a question, too. So this isn't just about the Yankees and one man making the change, because that's just my theory. And I think that's your hope. As a fan. You want your players on your team to feel as confident as possible, right? But you as a person also Want to feel as confident as possible when you're making these choices about your facial hair and how you look. So as we approach the. The day of love and everyone wants to put their best foot forward, we have a question for you.

[Steve Covino]

Well, you want people to feel comfortable. I mean, I think the tech world made a big step in the right direction with this. Think of all those, like, you know, Silicon Valley type of folks where, you know, business casual became more of a thing. It's like, hey, we're guys just making apps on a computer. Why are we wearing suits? And it became like, you know, you would dress like one of these rich.

[Rich Davis]

Tech guys on Wall street or something.

[Spot]

There's even some old school churches who have recently gone away from. You have to have clean cut, look at church and allow beards now this week.

[Rich Davis]

You know why?

[Spot]

The Yankees to still be doing this is real old school.

[Rich Davis]

It's real old school. And you know, some guys have negative chin. You know, some guys, they're. They don't know. They can't fold towels, you know, because they are missing a chin. It's a depth perception issue. So they grow a beard and it works for them and it gives them a swag and a spring in their step.

[Spot]

At least meet the players in the middle, like, okay, you can have a beard, but it needs to be trimmed and well kept. That way you don't. I get it. You don't want to look like a caveman. You don't want to be unprofessional, but let the guys still have their own personality.

[Rich Davis]

Without a doubt.

[Danny G]

Especially if you let a mustache happen.

[Rich Davis]

Those are the weakest.

[Danny G]

That's what I'm saying. You do let facial hair happen, but just not a beard.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I think you nailed it. There should be a compromise where it's like, it's just got to look groomed. You can't look like Kevin Millar of the Red Sox in the. And if you don't have a good.

[Danny G]

Beard, you can't do it.

[Rich Davis]

Who is the dude? Blackman. There's a guy in the Phillies who's.

[Steve Covino]

Got that Jason Worth.

[Rich Davis]

The Marsh? No, Brandon Marsh.

[Steve Covino]

Brandon Marsh.

[Rich Davis]

He looks like a Marsh guy from the Marsh. Yeah. So you can't look like someone from Duck Dynasty, but you could find something in between, Right?

[Steve Covino]

Especially, let's be honest, a lot of these Latino players are as groomed as could be. They got the barber on standby every day. Their fate is tight. So you're telling that guy he can't have the big, poppy precision beard.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. You're taking away their. Their, you know, in a way, their confidence. Right. In a way. So the question to the everyday fellow, though, as we get older, you're really faced with a decision.

[Steve Covino]

Hilarious to me.

[Rich Davis]

And the question is, do you shave and look younger and worse, or do you let the beard grow in and look older and better? Let me say it one more time. Do you look younger and worse? Younger and worse or older and better? Do you want to look younger and.

[Steve Covino]

Worse or older and better?

[Rich Davis]

Love this back of the hearse.

[Steve Covino]

Or younger and fatter?

[Rich Davis]

Kind of a curse.

[Steve Covino]

Yep.

[Rich Davis]

The former or latter.

[Steve Covino]

But you have got to make this choice.

[Rich Davis]

What's your choice? What are you doing? Do you want to look younger and worse or older?

[Spot]

I don't know.

[Rich Davis]

Do you want to look younger and worse? Yes. Do you want to look younger and worse?

[Steve Covino]

Devin Williams, maybe.

[Rich Davis]

Do you want to look younger and worse?

[Monty]

Kind of like six and one half.

[Steve Covino]

Do you want to look younger and worse or older and better? We only played that so that it's now stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

[Rich Davis]

Sketchy as hell.

[Danny G]

What am I listening to? What's up?

[Monty]

You some TikTok Instagram guy with Sam singing.

[Rich Davis]

Do you know that it's not just some guy. You got to give him credit for the play song. It's Jesse Blockton, right. On social media, so props to him. Jesse blocked in. He's an older fella. It looks like Mandy Patinkin, actually. Right. And it's the. It's the question of do you want to look younger and worse? Meaning shave your beard.

[Spot]

Shows himself clean. Shave.

[Rich Davis]

You look younger, but you look worse, Right? Because you got all this fat face.

[Steve Covino]

You got a blob of flesh.

[Spot]

Yeah, yeah, you look. You're two dimensional.

[Rich Davis]

Like Devin Williams looks a. Like Mac and me with a shaved beard or older and better. You know, you grow that beard back, you look older. Distinguished and older is not necessarily good. But you do look better for whatever.

[Steve Covino]

You might have some. You might have some gray in there.

[Spot]

You look like a professor, though.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Because sometimes older wizard is kind of bad, but it is better. Like imagine Draymond Green without the beard, Right? So it's. Does he shave and look younger and worse? Because he's still going to look old, but shaved and chubby, probably. Or older with the beard and the gray, but still he looks better for some reason. It's a weird choice that guys have to make.

[Steve Covino]

I picture LeBron James, right? He's got a little gray coming in, but LeBron with the beard probably more handsome look, but he looks older. If LeBron went clean shaven, he'd probably look 30 something.

[Rich Davis]

You know what happens?

[Steve Covino]

We look lazy.

[Rich Davis]

Let me put it in Steve Covino terms for you, Monty. You're looking right at it. If I shave my face clean shaven, right, I got this big fat face and two chins coming out, right.

[Steve Covino]

He looks like Ernie.

[Rich Davis]

And then the scruff starts to grow in and it looks a little grayish. So I look younger and worse.

[Steve Covino]

Or.

[Rich Davis]

Or I have the scruff going on. It makes me look a little older, but better. It gives your face definition. Ah. So it's the choice that we all are are at. And I think Devin Williams is making a poor, poor choice right now. And unfortunately, it's not his decision. He looks younger and worse.

[Steve Covino]

Truthfully, right now, right now, my stubble's a little too thin. I feel like I'm right now on the border of looking younger and worse.

[Danny G]

I feel like we're about to do Aerobics.

[Rich Davis]

Late 90s, early 2000s. Like a gun and three, some government.

[Steve Covino]

Agency put out like a commercial or something.

[Rich Davis]

No, but it is. It's a question, man. It really sucks. And I feel bad for Devin Williams, but the point is, well, what choice would you make, guys? As black sheep said, the choice is yours, but for Devin Williams, it's not. The Yankees are making him do this, and he lost all his swag, his confidence, and his intimidation factor, which I think is necessary for the Yankees closer at this point.

[Monty]

I feel like we say this every time the Yankees acquire a new player.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but this is very specific.

[Monty]

When are they going to give it up? When are they going to stop?

[Rich Davis]

Every time the closer position comes with an intimidation factor, Right? Think of the Mets. They got all this spectacle. They have horn sections, the lights go out. You got this dude coming out with his, like, baby boy Doe with his stupid face. Now no one cares about that. He has to grow back. Meow.

[Steve Covino]

He's gonna come out to, like, the bubble guppies theme or something.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. He comes back to. What's that?

[Steve Covino]

It's time for lunch.

[Rich Davis]

Wonderpet.

[Steve Covino]

Lame.

[Rich Davis]

That is the lamest look.

[Steve Covino]

Wonder pets, do you want to look.

[Rich Davis]

Younger or worse or older than better? That's the question for you to make or for you to answer. Fox sports nation, I think. 87799 on Fox.

[Steve Covino]

From the women I've asked, I've heard a lot of answers. And Monsie, I don't know if you agree with this. A lot of women are answering. They rather their dude look a little older and better. More. Absolutely. A lot of women.

[Rich Davis]

Most women don't want.

[Steve Covino]

Most women don't want their grown man with the clean shaven.

[Rich Davis]

Could, you know, can I give a tip to the Fox sports radio nation? My girlfriend doesn't like the facial hair. That's why I was rocking clean shave for a while. Right. But then I realized this is what every guy needs to know. They're trying to take you out of the game. Oh, stop.

[Monty]

She likes. She really likes puffy faces.

[Rich Davis]

Game. Yeah, that puffy face. She's trying to take you out of the game. Well, like, there's guys who do have a clean shaven face, like Don Draper, John Hamm. That works for him. Him. That works really well.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. You know what?

[Rich Davis]

You think everybody's John Ham. No, but with a beard. I don't even know what he'd look like.

[Danny G]

Like, I have a good beard. That's another thing.

[Rich Davis]

If you don't have a good beard.

[Danny G]

Don'T have a beard.

[Rich Davis]

Keanu can barely grow the beard in.

[Steve Covino]

But people like it. Let me. Let me give you.

[Danny G]

I mean, it's Keanu. Yeah, we like the beard.

[Rich Davis]

John Ham is one of the most handsome guys out there.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. I'll give you a handsome guy with a beard. And tell me if you think he would be as cool without out. Negan. Negan from the Walking Dead. Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Oh, that guy with the beard looks like.

[Rich Davis]

You mean Javier Bardem.

[Monty]

Yeah, because I've seen him. I've seen Javier Bardem. So I just.

[Steve Covino]

Not the same guy.

[Rich Davis]

Look at Kendrick Perkins right now. Kendrick Perkins right now.

[Danny G]

Take that beard off.

[Rich Davis]

Take that beard off. He's the. He's the biggest weenie. And I don't care what he says. There's just void space under his chin you can't even see. Yeah. What's going on under there? Kendrick Perkins. Perkins.

[Steve Covino]

No.

[Danny G]

But, yeah, he would not be intimidating without that look.

[Monty]

Like the dude from the office.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, he would look like that.

[Steve Covino]

Stanley.

[Rich Davis]

He looks like Carl Winslow without that beard. With the beard, I'm like, stop it. So do you want to look younger and worse or older and better?

[Danny G]

Older and better.

[Rich Davis]

Did I do that, Urkel?

[Steve Covino]

All right, Kurt in Pennsylvania. What's up, buddy?

[Rich Davis]

Stop. Hey, what's going on, guys? I love your show.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, thanks, man.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you, man. You're gonna be singing that song all night by. Stop.

[Steve Covino]

All right. Stop it.

[Monty]

The guy talk.

[Spot]

Make it stop.

[Rich Davis]

So I. I'm just really surprised you guys haven't played the Simpson baseball episode. Clip of Mattingly, shave your sideburns yet?

[Steve Covino]

It's a classic.

[Rich Davis]

I do know it, man. But look, I get it. There was a time and a place. It's a different world now. The world has changed a lot, man, like a lot since Don Mattingly in the 80s.

[Steve Covino]

Mattingly, get rid of those sideburns. Thank you, Ryan Berschinger, for rolling that in. That was very timely.

[Rich Davis]

So great. But you also have to realize too, that, man, it's 2025. You can't expect these especially rich. Already said it. These young Latin players, these Dominican dudes to shave, and you want them to play for your team. I know that sounds like petty and ridiculous when you're paying them millions of dollars, but I can make millions of dollars somewhere else where I don't have to, like, look like a mutant just to play on your team.

[Steve Covino]

And can I?

[Rich Davis]

You know who said that? Alex Verdugo said that recently, too. He's like, yo, I'll go play for another team where I could be myself.

[Steve Covino]

Now I get it. Making millions of dollars is a priority for a young man. But take yourself out of the bullpen for a second. Take yourself out of the bullpen. I don't know if Devin Williams is married or single, whatever the case may be. But you think, let's find out. But you think, thank you, Mon. Do you think Devin Williams wants to go out on the town with his boys if he's single or try to New York City? What do you think his wife, if he's married, do you think that's the look he would choose? Clearly not.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. He had a girlfriend.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

She saw his face today.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Monty]

I have a question. So tattoos are allowed, right?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Monty]

What if you got a beard tattoo?

[Steve Covino]

I don't know.

[Danny G]

I was wondering that. Or dried on, like, just to spite them. I'm gonna try it on every day.

[Rich Davis]

Or like you did like a henna.

[Monty]

Beard, so where it wasn't permanent.

[Rich Davis]

People get tattoos of a hairline. Honestly, this is my prediction. It's going to be such a thing because the pictures surface today and everyone's going to be making fun of him. And he already stated that he had. He's more confident with his beard. It's going to come down to a compromise, like Danny G said. That's my prediction. I, I, you heard it here on Fox Sports Radio. The Yankees will eventually allow a maintained scruff, a maintained beard moving forward. That's my guess after this.

[Steve Covino]

I have a question. Something like that. It sounds so ridiculous, but would that be in a press conference?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, probably.

[Steve Covino]

Like, how ridiculous does that sound? But after, you know, 100 plus years of Yankee legacy, will there have to be some type of House Steinbrenner coming forward and be like, I have a major announcement to make for the Yankees after, you know, after a hundred something years of this organization?

[Rich Davis]

Because, like, it's an old organization, so there's old rules and traditions. Right? So, yeah, this one needs to be updated. That's all.

[Steve Covino]

Simple as that.

[Rich Davis]

What do you say all the time, Rich? I'll give you credit. Sometimes tradition is making the same mistake over and over and over again. I think it's ridiculous. The Yankees, it's not the time of Babe Ruth anymore.

[Steve Covino]

There's two things the Yankees need to adjust. One of them is the facial hair stuff because it's lame. And secondly, I love it because I do admire the history, the pinstripes and everything, but, like, the fact that the Yankees won't do a city connect jersey or anything. It's like, come on, it's like, come.

[Danny G]

On, it's time to be fun.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Give us some options. To us fans.

[Monty]

And clearly this tradition isn't making you that great.

[Steve Covino]

Right?

[Rich Davis]

Right.

[Danny G]

At one point, maybe it did.

[Rich Davis]

Right?

[Danny G]

Maybe it did. But now it's. It's not. Devin Williams does have a girlfriend. And it's funny that we're talking about his beard. Sportskeeda has a whole story. Maggie Baddock, I'm gonna guess. And they've been together since 2015, 2016. And there's a picture of them from 2015, 2016. And he has no beard.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

And it's his profile. And he looks like a baby. But that was 10 years ago.

[Steve Covino]

Now he's a man.

[Danny G]

He's a man.

[Spot]

Well, my.

[Monty]

My wife has. Has said to me, like, distressed, never to clean. Get clean shaven because I look like a, you know, a Drake. I look like.

[Steve Covino]

I look like.

[Monty]

I look like a. Yeah, I look like a creep.

[Rich Davis]

All right, so that's the update. Allegedly, Sorry. On Devin Williams again, pitchers and catchers. The positive is here. Here is that, hey, baseball is underway.

[Steve Covino]

Look at the clock. It's midweek. It's time.

[Rich Davis]

Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of the week with midweek.

[Spot]

Major.

[Rich Davis]

Major. Ooh, I love that we throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas.

[Steve Covino]

And it's like the kids say, that's so mid week.

[Rich Davis]

Definitely major.

[Spot]

CNR scoring midweek. Major. Oh, y. Yeah. Are you guys ready?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Does everybody know? Say, eight.

[Spot]

Y'all say minutes.

[Rich Davis]

Eight minutes.

[Steve Covino]

Eight minutes.

[Spot]

We're about to give Spotty eight full minutes here.

[Rich Davis]

Wow.

[Monty]

It's like a whole segment.

[Spot]

When you hear the horns, you know you've made it to the middle of the week. Before we hand things over to the number one and only host of the segment, we roll the two big red love dice the main studio, see who goes first.

[Rich Davis]

I just rolled a seven.

[Spot]

And a rich roll six.

[Steve Covino]

Really? Seven got six.

[Spot]

That means Cove gets the first take. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains, New Jersey, Spotty Boy.

[Monty]

Hey, guys. All the super bowl stuff today, I know it's kind of old news, but it's all the pop culture stuff from.

[Rich Davis]

That people are still buzzing about.

[Monty]

But let me. Let me start with a story that broke today. So you may seen the viral video of John Rocker and Patrick Mo Mahomes senior.

[Rich Davis]

Embarrassing.

[Monty]

It's embarrassing. Exchanging words on Bourbon street in New Orleans ahead of the Mahomes the second losing to the Eagles. Well, Barstool's Dave Portnoy announced today that the two former MLB pitchers will face off in Barstool's rough and rowdy event on April 18th in Wheeling, Virginia. The quote beef on Bourbon street, as Portnoy called it, will headline the event. People are now unclear because of the video saying it looks staged or unclear if it was staged to promote this, but because it was awfully quick to come to fruition after this viral thing this past weekend. Either way, I'm sure Patrick Mahomes will be there nice and proud watching this event midweek or major.

[Rich Davis]

Major.

[Steve Covino]

I don't know if he will. That was a joke.

[Monty]

Rich sarcasm.

[Steve Covino]

I'm kind of embarrassed about the whole thing. Just played the worst game of my.

[Rich Davis]

Life and now I got my dad embarrassing me. More like sort of like insult to injury.

[Steve Covino]

Injury.

[Rich Davis]

Like putting salt on the wound. Patrick Mahomes is your son. Stop embarrassing the kid. You're fighting John Rocker on the streets of New Orleans and now at a barstool event. You don't need to do this. Come on, Pat Mahomes, don't do that to your son.

[Monty]

I'm just catching wind of this.

[Rich Davis]

What is this, Pat? John Rocker didn't embarrass himself.

[Steve Covino]

It was someone else.

[Rich Davis]

It was, well, John Rocker. And honestly, what I saw was John Rocker approaching Pat Mahomes on the street.

[Monty]

Senior.

[Rich Davis]

Saying what? Man, I thought we were cool.

[Spot]

I thought we were boys.

[Rich Davis]

And Pat Mahomes was not having it. John Rocker threw a drink at him. Now they're fighting. I think. I think the whole thing's embarrassing.

[Steve Covino]

So midweek or major?

[Rich Davis]

I said major because that's what say you, Rich Mahomes dad?

[Steve Covino]

I was.

[Rich Davis]

Sam, how'd you feel if your dad was doing that?

[Steve Covino]

You can't be the only one that doesn't know the story. So I'm glad we explained. Explained it. It was the week of the Super Bowl. To reiterate one last time, Mahomes senior and Rocker had an altercation on Bourbon Street.

[Rich Davis]

They had the game.

[Steve Covino]

They had to be separated before the game, before the game, before the game, the week. Like when everyone's partying on Bourbon Street. So now I think it's major as well.

[Danny G]

Definitely major.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, it's the best player in the NFL.

[Rich Davis]

How did John Rocker come into play in this?

[Steve Covino]

That's a great.

[Rich Davis]

If it's not. If it. If it is staged, why. But if it's not, then I guess.

[Steve Covino]

That makes more sense.

[Rich Davis]

First of all, John Rocker sort of jacked. But he looks like he's got a limp and jack.

[Steve Covino]

He's jacked with a limp.

[Rich Davis]

He's jacked with a limp. Like, he's still very built. He's a silly guy, essentially, is what you're saying. And then you got Pat Mahomes senior, who's slender and it's just embarrassing.

[Steve Covino]

You'll have time to give us a tale of the tape later. Don't worry. I will watch it if it happens. And you know what? I think you also have to give Portnoy credit. You know, barstool, it's. Who isn't going to watch? You're not going to watch John Rocker and Mahomes dad fight? It's ridiculous.

[Monty]

Why don't we watch a bum fight?

[Steve Covino]

I mean, it sort of feels like that, right? Yeah. Again, Covino said it, so I don't want to reiterate it, but it's Patrick Mahomes. Why is his family embarrassed him? His brother used to. Now his dad. Like, the guy seems like so well adjusted. Him and Brittany are fantastic.

[Rich Davis]

And he seems happy when he's not losing and running for his life at.

[Steve Covino]

The super bowl, he's a new dad. Like, come on. Yeah, Grandpa's fighting. John Rocker sounds like the Royal Tenenbaums. Oh, geez. All right, next.

[Monty]

All right, let me squeeze this one in. Eagles. Cooper De Jean had a stellar pick in this weekend's Super Bowl.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, he did.

[Monty]

And the congrats have poured in, including from fellow Iowa alumni Caitlin Clark. Clark, as we know, huge Chiefs fan. She was seen attending the game with none other than Taylor Swift, but she Sent Eugene a message after the championship. Gene said actually ahead of the draft that he could be. He was asked, obviously, you know, that he could beat Clark in a one on one game.

[Steve Covino]

Of course he could.

[Monty]

I know, but he's since changed, saying that he respects what Clark has done for women's basketball and the University of Iowa in general, but was really happy and proud that he actually got that nod from the WNBA superstar. Midweek or major?

[Rich Davis]

Major. She's the biggest star to come from that school. The biggest star maybe arguably in sports right now. So for her to acknowledge him on his birthday with a big moment that he had, I think that's great.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I mean, I think it's major. Definitely major. But what I think is weak is the fact that Cooper De Jean backed off saying that he could beat Caitlin Clark one on one. I'd bet my home on Cooper DeJean. He's a grown man. She's a woman still. Men and women competing against each other.

[Rich Davis]

She scores some points on him.

[Monty]

They're about the same age.

[Steve Covino]

But he would annihilate her one on one. The fact that he had a back off for political correctness reasons annoys me. Just want to keep it all. You think Kayla Carter beat a man in basketball that played college basketball?

[Danny G]

I'm rolling my eyes that you were offended by all of that.

[Steve Covino]

Fair.

[Rich Davis]

She's just rolling her eyes at your face. Right?

[Steve Covino]

Is it because I'm a little more clean shaven than usual? Stop it.

[Rich Davis]

I want to be younger.

[Monty]

Over to the halftime show. A couple stories out of that. So Kendrick Lamar, as you said, officially the most viewed halftime show show, and despite heading into halftime with the 240 lead over the Chiefs, players on the Eagles did not sneak out to watch the halftime show. Jalex Hunt was actually stopped.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, wait.

[Monty]

Jlix.

[Steve Covino]

Jalen.

[Monty]

Jlix Hunt. Yeah, his back ship player, jlix reveal. Yeah, I know that's what it says. Revealed that the team remained laser focused during halftime, making sure they didn't blow their lead in the second half. Saying they just watch it on YouTube, actually, so. And a fun stat. The NFL's official video of the performance of Kendrick Lamar racked up more views in one day than Usher's performance did when it was posted a year ago. So that thing, it just keeps blowing up and growing. Midweek or major?

[Rich Davis]

It's very major. People can't stop talking about how they feel about the halftime show. Much like everything in our country, very divided on this and I think we're getting extra views on it. Because people are trying to figure out why anyone else could possibly like it. Like, what did I miss? What did I miss? And you know what? We're going to be talking about this, this tomorrow. Like, who do we want or who do we think should be headlining the super bowl halftime show next year? But ratings are up. I think the whole thing's major. 133 million people tuned in. Yeah, we talked about it at length.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I think it's major. I think it's just a former pro, you know, additional proof to back up what Kavino said. Everyone thinks our opinion matters so much and I promise you, it. It doesn't. Everyone. Well, everyone thinks their opinion of like, I loved it. Oh, I hated it. Go on social media. Everyone thinks they have like the final word. Like it matters. 133 million people watch. It doesn't matter what you think. One last one or no, I could squeeze it.

[Monty]

One last one. Still on the halftime show. Maybe it's reason for some of the views might have to do with Serena Williams. Tennis crate. Serena Williams addressing her viral appearance during the halftime show and says it's apparently been 13 years in the making. You may have seen the video floating around of her after winning gold at the 2012 Olympics. So she said when Compton born Kendrick Lamar reached out to her because she's also from Compton, she jumped at the chance to be able to dance in the Super Bowl. I know there's that added layer that she dated Drake and the. The song Not Like Us is a diss track on Drake, but she's saying it was really just about connecting with her Compton. Fellow Compton native. And she said she practiced hard for her 10 to 15 second appearance. Appearance. Side story. I don't know if you heard, Stephen A. Smith came out since saying that it's blasphemous.

[Rich Davis]

Bye, bye bye. She would do. Damn, I'd be damned if my wife was dancing, he said, to a diss track to her. But if. If you're with somebody and that they're that concerned about their ex, like, come on, man, that's embarrassing. I think there's a little level of embarrassment there. She looked good. She looked good. But like, you're dancing about your ex. I'd be a little insulted too, if I was the new guy.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, you know, I mean, you know the NWA lyrics, right? I mean, straight out of Compton, crazy mother effort named Serena. It's lyrics, right? Right. I mean, we all expected that. All right, thank you. Thanks. Midweek Major let's go to Monty Belong who C walked her way into the studio.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, boy.

[Steve Covino]

Apparently you can't say gang names. I just looked that up. Spot was. Do you know that you can't say gang names on the radio or tv?

[Danny G]

Interesting.

[Rich Davis]

Is that weird?

[Danny G]

I did not know that.

[Monty]

That should be your FCC trip training or pay attention to it.

[Danny G]

Are we sure we haven't said those words?

[Monty]

Who knows?

[Danny G]

The Bucks are going to be without Damian Lillard tonight as they take on Minnesota. He's still going to be available for all the All Star events that he committed to the three point shooting contest and the game on Sunday. Pelicans wingman Herb Jones will be out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. In the NFL, Colorado quarterback Shador Sanders revealed that his first top 230 visits with NFL teams are going to be with the Browns and the Giants, who hold the second and third overall picks in the upcoming draft. This replaced the All Star Game in the NHL for this year. Back to you guys.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, Monty. I was singing like a little nursery rhyme with my kids. Can you sing it with me? Yeah.

[Danny G]

You want to be younger?

[Steve Covino]

I'm afraid of the big bed. Woof. Thank you. All right.

[Rich Davis]

Woof, woof.

[Monty]

Don't entertain him.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you.

[Steve Covino]

Love you.

[Monty]

Don't you dare.

[Steve Covino]

No.

[Danny G]

I knew what he was doing.

[Steve Covino]

Good singing.

[Danny G]

You think he's clever? He's not clever. I knew what he was doing.

[Steve Covino]

Okay.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you.

[Steve Covino]

Love you, buddy.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you. Monster.
