Gross Habits in Sports

Covino and Rich dive deep into sports etiquette and how players often engage in less-than-desirable behaviors when on camera. They explore all sorts of cringe-worthy acts that happen in the locker room and on the field.
Athletes Turned Politicians
The conversation shifts gears to the growing trend of athletes stepping into the political arena, highlighted by Mark Teixeira's announcement of his congressional campaign in Texas. The hosts reflect on how the platform and recognition that athletes gain through their sports careers often translate into political power. They reminisce and discuss other notable athletes who’ve taken the leap into politics over the years, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Manny Pacquiao.
NFL Uniforms and Changes
A chunk of the episode is dedicated to the unveiling of new NFL uniforms, specifically focusing on the 'rivalry collection.' The vibes are excited as the hosts break down what they like (or dislike) about the new looks for teams, including the Buffalo Bills' all-white uniforms and what they nostalgic call the 49ers re-imagining of their color schemes. Rich gets particularly animated about the relationship between legacy and modern aesthetics in sports uniforms.
