Covino & Rich: Fernando Mendoza Is the NFL’s Baby-Faced Assassin | Thursday, Nov. 12

George Kittle told WWE’s Seth Rollins that Fernando Mendoza has a super kind persona but is going to kill you, and Covino & Rich think the nicest guys in sports are usually the most ruthless. That turns into a full debate on baby-faced assassins, from Brock Purdy and Steph Curry to Gennady Golovkin, Gary Carter and Tim Duncan, before Danny G sizes up Mendoza’s upcoming Raiders debut against Seattle. Late in the show, Rich weighs in on Bronny James firing back at a courtside Pistons heckler and says LeBron’s son can’t be the one punching down.
Microsoft went down nationwide, so the guys open with the outage and a viral debate about a remote worker who took Zoom calls from Cancun without telling her boss. Rich explains how the 49ers went looking at Josh Downs and walked away with Keenan Allen, and Dan Beyer tells the story of the night NSYNC’s bodyguard pulled the wrong guy on stage. UFC 1 happened 33 years ago today, which kicks off an hour of mind-blowing firsts that runs from Royce Gracie and Art Jimmerson to Michael Jackson’s moonwalk, LL Cool J on MTV Unplugged and Tecmo Super Bowl.
