Overpromised with Covino & Rich

Two weeks out from kickoff and the news won't cooperate. Disney and the NFL teamed up on the Champions Collection, so Covino and Rich go through every one of the 32 team characters, from the Bills getting the Beast to the Colts getting Horace Horsecollar, and argue about whether a grown man without kids can actually wear this stuff in public.

Then it gets uglier. Jed York, the owner of the 49ers, got picked up in a prostitution sti...

Danielle Fishel and Patrick Renna are thirty years past Boy Meets World and The Sandlot, and both of them now spend their weekends on a Little League field yelling things they immediately regret. They join Covino and Rich on Overpromised to talk about Dugout Dads, the comedy series that reunites most of the original Sandlot cast, premiering August 26 on Patrick Renna's YouTube channel.

Jonah Hill told a podcast he would annihilate anybody who tested him, the internet turned it into a week of memes, and Covino and Rich are taking his side. That leads into the real debate: would you buy Jonah Hill as an action star? Bob Odenkirk did it in Nobody. Liam Neeson did it in Taken. Steven Seagal never looked the part and still ran the 90s, and Rich finally admits what he used to do with a ponytail and a bathrobe in his mo...

LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er, and his No. 23 jersey just became the best selling jersey ever for a player joining a new team in the first 48 hours across all sports, passing Shohei Ohtani's 2023 Dodgers record. Covino and Rich dig into what that says about LeBron's pull at 41, then settle which LeBron jersey you buy and keep forever once he retires, before laying out the official Covino and Rich jersey rules: when you tempor...

John Harbaugh's first team meeting as a New York Giant went viral for all the wrong reasons, but Covino & Rich think the internet is blaming the wrong side of the room.

Two-time World Cup goalkeeper Brad Guzan joins Steve Covino and Rich Davis on Overpromised to preview Sunday's final, with Messi and Argentina chasing back-to-back titles against Lamine Yamal and a Spain side that hasn't lost in ages.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift tied the knot, so Covino & Rich sort the least annoying wedding storylines from the noise: the hyphenated Kelce-Swift jersey that would break sales records, Adam Sandler officiating and singing an original song, the grifter selling "wedding trash" outside Madison Square Garden, and the guest who deleted his invite thinking it was spam. Then the guys turn to the All-Star break with the new Home Run ...

The world is coming together and the New York Mets are coming apart. On Overpromised Episode 145, Covino and Rich make the case that the World Cup is healing the world, from Norway fans rowing in the Citi Field outfield and Scottish fans draining Fenway to Mexico taking over Los Angeles and Japanese fans falling in love with Texas brisket. Then they flip the script on their own team, arguing the Mets just hit the lowest point in fr...

Dodgeball turns 22, so Covino and Rich make the case that gym class was the best part of the school day. They run through the parachute, the rope climb, the Presidential Fitness Test, the funky gym clothes everyone forgot in their locker, and the gym sports that turned into all-out wars. Then it is on to the Knicks championship parade and the age-old question of whether parades are actually cool or only fun when it is your team, wi...

A Michael Jordan prism sticker sold for over $53,000, and odds are you had one stuck in a binder as a kid. Covino and Rich unlock the forgotten childhood sports memories nobody talks about: the quarter vending machine stickers, supermarket helmet collectibles, Helmet Day giveaways, the Beckett book card-show era, and the cards that turned into busts.

Then it is World Cup weekend, and foreign visitors are discovering free refills, 7...

He-Man and Masters of the Universe finally hit theaters this weekend, so Covino and Rich do the only responsible thing and rank the hottest cartoon characters of all time, from Evil-Lyn and Teela to Lola from Shark Tale, April O'Neil, Cocomelon's surprisingly hot Mrs. Apple Berry, and the undisputed queen Jessica Rabbit.

The Knicks are back in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, so Covino & Rich rewind to the last time the Garden was this loud.

Cal Raleigh went from MVP runner-up to an 0-for-38 nightmare, then Logan Gilbert told him to take a shower in full uniform. The Big Dumper actually did it, snapped the slump with two singles against Houston, and now Covino & Rich are deep in the greatest sports superstitions of all time: Wade Boggs' pre-game chicken ritual, Tiger's Red Sundays, MJ wearing his UNC shorts under his Bulls uniform, and the legendary story of Jason ...

Covino & Rich break down the worst insults in sports, starting with Shilo Sanders telling Cleveland reporter Mary Kay Cabot to "go make me a sandwich" and spiraling into hairline jokes, short-king disrespect, and Dalton Rushing getting caught lip-reading at Miguel Amaya.
