A frustrated Reds pitcher named Caleb Ferguson botched a double play when umpire Bill Miller stepped into the throw, and the broadcast caught every word he mouthed after. It was ugly, it was personal, and it’s been looping across social media for two days straight. Then came the apology. So Covino and Rich open the show on the real question underneath it: when someone says something that cruel and that specific, does an apology actually put the toothpaste back in the tube, or do you forgive and just quietly never forget?
Steve Covino says it depends entirely on whether it was said to your face or behind your back, and drops a couple of grudges he’s still holding from twenty years ago to prove it. Rich Davis takes it into relationship territory: the mean stuff people say in the heat of a fight, why there’s usually some truth buried in it, and the one rule that’s kept his marriage clean for fifteen years. It somehow winds through the Sopranos, a barbecue chain in Texas, and the impossible question of what you could even send a grown man to say you’re sorry.
From there the guys get into the Dodgers pulling off a ridiculous double play, why talking NFL in July feels like buying a Halloween shirt at Target, a year without Ozzy, Sophie Cunningham cashing in while the WNBA fumbles again, the ESPN layoffs and the Ryan Clark mess, and John Harbaugh’s very strange first speech to the Giants. All of it on Fox Sports Radio.
