The Best Of Covino & Rich

Covino & Rich deliver a lively, humorous, and insightful recap of the 2026 NFL Draft, blending sharp observations with personal anecdotes and cultural commentary. The episode opens with Rich’s hilarious and gross story about discovering a dead rat in his car during a routine oil change—complete with engine disassembly and a trail of blood in his attic—setting a tone of absurdity and relatability. The hosts then dive into the draft’s pacing, praising the new pitch clock and faster execution, while lamenting how social media spoiled the suspense by leaking picks ahead of broadcast. They highlight the emotional moment of Fernando Mendoza’s selection and the viral ringtone controversy, with Danny G delivering a full ABBA karaoke performance. The conversation expands to broader sports topics, including the Yankees’ potential new alternate jersey, the Knicks’ inability to close games, and the Hawks’ surprising rise without Trey Young. The episode culminates in a fun, audience-participation game called Brainwave, where listeners guess the hosts’ answers, followed by a weekend viewing guide featuring UFC, documentaries, and new TV shows. Throughout, the hosts balance humor, sports analysis, and heartfelt takes on fandom, tradition, and personal growth.
