On today’s episode, Jason discusses all the biggest headlines to come out of NFL Schedule Release Day, including: how the NFL’s insistence on putting their best teams on standalone games has killed the Sunday afternoon window, whether the Chicago Bears are even worthy of playing on both Thanksgiving and Christmas after just one season of solid football, how big of a factor the Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal was when it came to scheduling the New England Patriots on primetime, why the NFL insists on adding more international games every year, and much more!

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 Giambi's Gold Thong breaking Derek Jeter out of an 0-for-32 slump. Then the Pentagon drops 162 declassified UFO files and C&R ask the real question — which athletes could actually be aliens? Michael Phelps, Wembanyama, Sam Cassell, Willie McGee, and Juan Soto all make the list. Plus the weekly "They Might Be ASS" - it's a quarter into the MLB season and Fernando Tatis Jr. has zero home runs, Manny Machado is batting .193, Corey Seager is at .184, and Logan Webb has a 5.00 ERA. Even Shohei's bat has gone quiet. What is happening?

Overpromised is the uncensored midweek bonus from The Covino & Rich Show on Fox Sports Radio (iHeartRadio), weekdays 5–7 PM ET / 2–4 PM PT

On today’s episode, Jason discusses whether it’s fair to say that the Oklahoma City Thunder are more well-positioned for a dynastic run than the Nikola Jokic-led Denver Nuggets or the Giannis Antetokounmpo-led Milwaukee Bucks were before them, the likelihood that LeBron James actually retires this offseason, how the Los Angeles Lakers can build a championship contender around Luka Doncic, and why the Cleveland Cavaliers should be favored to beat the Detroit Pistons in their second round playoff series.
