Speaker 2: Car got Sam got carsick?

00:02:18
Speaker 1: Yeah I did. I got joriny Sam.

00:02:20
Speaker 3: You really are who what man in his late thirties early forties is used to riding in the backseat of a car.

00:02:25
Speaker 1: You get sick, I don't know, we're right hand. It's like, pull over, I'm gonna spew.

00:02:30
Speaker 2: That was weird parking on Like, just let me out.

00:02:32
Speaker 1: I'm sick. And by the way, this is before any cocktails. You know. It wasn't like it was not like I was Sam's designated driver, right right, No, it's on the way there.

00:02:40
Speaker 4: I stand with Iowa, Sam, I am with you. Back seat no good, real emotion sickness.

00:02:45
Speaker 1: You Sam and spots. Oh so I'm guessing you guys are not roller coaster types.

00:02:51
Speaker 3: No lot different. Oh well, I love roller coasters. I just think being in the backseat of car makes you. Yeah, it's very different. Yeah, it's a less controlled situation. Well, bunch of whenies. But it's always great to see Spot on the videos. And of course the great Dan Bayer Dan Byer, great hair, great guy, and just great at what he does.

00:03:10
Speaker 1: Know he can't sit in the back seat. Great job. He doesn't want to show us up because he's got the coff of a lifetime. So guys, we have lots to get to today between where we duped by the Cowboys? Or do they still have a shot Now they don't have a shot, but I don't know if we were. I mean they still have a shot they win them all, Yeah, but I mean, like of a less than ten percent shot. But they have a shot. It's just no, they're at eight percent. I believe if they win them all, it's like almost fifty percent or something like that. If they win every game moving forward, that's a big if. Well, you just had you Now you're saying if a team wins every game, they've left the night after they got rocked. Yeah, but I do like Dak Prescott's fortitude is ambition. Everything he says afterward about you know, we're just pissed off. Now now they're playing with a little edge. I mean, anything's possible, but yeah, highly doubtful. I agree the Lions stepped up, So I hope you had a Lions sort of night. Did you change your mind on anything though? The Lions? Rich?

00:04:11
Speaker 2: Didn't you proclaim that the Lions were done.

00:04:13
Speaker 1: Though. Yeah, I mean, I don't picked the Lions over here. You did, I don't think I'm I'll be truthful. What did Dan Campbell say in the locker room? Right? He So I wasn't there. I was well after the company holiday party, went to the locker room, I went and hung out with Dan Campbell. No, I went and saw the highlights and everything, and you know, we were watching at the bar, watching the game, and he said, you know, we should be proud of this victory. That's a hell of a team, man. They were playing really good, really good football play with a lot of momentum, and.

00:04:45
Speaker 2: It's how we thought they were going to play on Thanksgiving.

00:04:47
Speaker 1: The Lions stepped up. But then again, I don't think the Lions have lost back to back games in years, So shame on us for thinking otherwise. They proved to be the better team. And I'm on ross seat. And Brown stepped up, and Dan Campbell gave him the ultimate compliment, said, he epitomizes. He's the epitome of what the Lions are all about, all heart, discipline and kick assery. And that's what we saw from them yesterday, beating a hot team in the Dallas Cowboys and of course the big Lebron story. So there's a lot to get to. Man, get back to me next week after they have to come out here and play the Rams, because that'll be that'll be yet another amazing test. And you know, when we're done sweating all the games this week, like, man, this is amazing. Next week you're gonna go see if the Lions, who are eight and five, You're gonna be like, wow, they are they ready to play the Rams out here in La Because then if they beat the Rams and you're like, oh, wow, the Lions are right there in the mix. But then if they lose, yeah, they're eight and six and they're they're fighting, Bro, They're fighting. So no, I know, Hey, but they stepped up when they had two yesterday and I was riding high on the Cowboys. I was believing the hype and at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Fun Thursday night Football game. And that leads us to all the kick ass games this weekend feeling like playoff caliber type of games. And Rich is gonna pick his big TV games at a week so very second round for that very difficult this week because there's so many games of importance. Now, listen, we can move past it already. I don't think there's, you know, a deeper conversation than hey, I don't know if the Cowboys tricked us, but they were hot, and the Lions are a good team, and they decided to play to their potential last night. I'm around say Brown, like you said, epitomized what Lions football is, what their fans want to and what's who he is and knowing kid, and he stepped up even hurt and played a pretty big game for a guy we weren't sure it was gonna play.

00:06:47
Speaker 2: Did you get I'm sorry, Rich, I was gonna say, I think what tricked us a little bit is it seemed like the old Cowboys defense before they got Quinn Williams.

00:06:55
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know what it felt like to me. We watched the first half casually where the bar he got home. For the second half, I felt like any time the Cowboys were in striking distance, the Lions like, yeah, that's cool, we're gonna score another touchdown. So you're you're playing from behind, you put together a drive and then the Lions would have like four or five played drive touchdowns and it's like Wow, Hey, that went back. We're down double digits again. And I'm not saying if there was another quarter to play, but it just felt like the Cowboys were playing catch up and they just could never quite do it right. Yeah, you're down by seven, all right? Sweet? And there was close for that one second thirty seven thirty I believe it was, and then Cowboys pulled away.

00:07:35
Speaker 4: There were also I mean, Dallas had turnovers. They neither team punted in the second half of this game, and I think it's just looking at the game. There were two punts in the first quarter and then one on the second quarter, and that was it. Dallas turning it over three times. And there was also an awful call that went against Dallas inference.

00:07:52
Speaker 1: Yeah that was That was a rough one and I saw that. But Dan Bayer every week to sort of get a gauge of all the games, the ones. Even I don't watch that closely. I always look at the team stats that they always put out, and much like my baseball coach in college said, most of the time, the team that makes the most errors will lose, like ninety percent of the time. If some team turns the ball over three times and the other team doesn't. Even in the NFL, the team that turns the ball over is gonna lose.

00:08:19
Speaker 2: Even in this game.

00:08:20
Speaker 4: Turning it over once and there was a late interception that really didn't matter for Dallas, but the two that they had, and then the bad penalty when you're already kind of working out a deficit because you're the underdog in the game, like the Lin's just you're right, the lines couldn't be stopped. But I felt that there was the opportunity for Dallas to match them and to answer them and be able to and then you know the Cavino's point. They came back and they made it a touchdown game, but just in the end, they couldn't overcome their own mistakes or even that call by the by the official.

00:08:48
Speaker 1: I feel like it's when when when the other team is unstoppable, like Cavino. You two weeks ago, when we were in our guys strip you at Cornhall. Oh Jesus, she'd have saw this guy. He would have beat anyone in a tailgate parking lot. Every time you were catching up to Cavino, they had this smooth little dude. Did you just stop talking to everybody then? As well?

00:09:08
Speaker 4: Were people just leaving you alone because you were in that corn hole zone.

00:09:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he was thinking it not fun, Like I was like, since what is this guy a corn hole champion? Yeah, the day of his life. But yeah, there are times where like you could be playing well but you just can't catch up. And you see that in baseball. Sometimes it's a bummer. Your team's down five runs, you have a great inning, you tie it, and then your bull thing gives up two runs and you're like, now we're done too again. So you know, last night there were opportunities, but the Cowboys just could not quite stop what Detroit was doing. And if you can't stop them, how a you're gonna get the ball back and tie it up. It was a double digit chase for the whole second half, So obviously the Lions win, but if you were at a company party, maybe it missed it forty four to thirty, but it was closer at one point over the Cowboys. Do you feel duped or are the cowboy Boys who you thought they were? And are you laughing at anyone that believed otherwise? Because they were playing pretty strong up until yesterday, even though they didn't play that bad, Like dB said, I have a more bad few turnovers. And then of course there was some really excellent NBA last night. Oh we're gonna get to that. But I have a more of a social question about last night's holiday party. Sure so I So, first of all, it's nice to say everyone I had I had a problem with him, like taking the food away while we were still picking at it.

00:10:31
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there was a lot of food left.

00:10:33
Speaker 1: If I were our boss who and iHeart and Premiere and everyone that put this party together, I think I would have been a little bummed by them, like being like all right, scadattle now they had like another party coming in, so we had all go out on the porch. Yeah, Like, let's just say our party ended at five thirty or six. There were some pretty much had to stop watch and they're like they were like sweeping us out, like what was the name of a guy on showtime at the Apollogy. Honestly, let's say, yeah, you're sweeping a sound like the Sandman's Like yo, let's just say we're chilling. Let's just say they're like, oh, the iHeart buffet is open till six. At five point fifty nine and fifty eight seconds, they would like pulling a French cry out of Covino's hands. I was not sorry, you've had enough, you have been moving along. But it was really fun to see everyone. We have a really great team at iHeart and sports Radio. It's awkward when some of your colleagues have been trying to talk to you, but your stuff in your face with sliders and buffalo wings, because you're just trying to really cash in on the free grindage, the free grub, and people are talking like uh huh, yeah, yeah, you do sales for our show. Yeah, I want to pip away. It's like, let me eat first. Let me scoff is a scoff for scarf. That's a demand itself. Let me scoff this down, sarf, and let me scott. If you're from the East Coats, it's scaff this down. Let me scaffed this down, and then we could chat a little bit about the holidays.

00:11:52
Speaker 3: It's weird eating in front of someone you've only met a few times you ever met.

00:11:56
Speaker 1: The booze and schmooze was strong. It was weird when Sam's like, you take this end of the spaghetti, I'll take the other end, and they kid that no, I did have one observation that we'll get to the NBA and a bunch of other fun stuff. This is a weak move because I listen, I'm not a twenty year old kid. Well, that's even illegal. I'm not a twenty one year old kid trying to get trashed. Now. I was gonna say twenty year old kid drinking, but that's illegal, So it's a bad example. I'm not a twenty one year old kid trying to get trashed. I'm not out like, hey, I mean my buddies are getting ripped tonight playing Hey, mister, yeah, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not in that world. I'm like, I'm a guy in his forties. I'm a dad. I'm having like one cocktail and I'm you know, moving along. You're not playing beer pong and having some bru hajas. So some teddy Bruceki's I had. I had to. It was it was gross because I had everyone try my drink. So if one of us is sick, we're all sick now. But Danny and I was saying, you know, did they not give me straight vodka?

00:12:57
Speaker 2: Oh? That was like rubbing alcohol, but it killed everything in your mouth.

00:13:01
Speaker 1: Anyway, if they give you, and it didn't seem like I said Tito's in my mind. I'm like, this isn't titos.

00:13:07
Speaker 2: You can't tell the differences allocau rubbing.

00:13:11
Speaker 1: It's like it was like rubbing alcohol vodka, but there was no soda or sprite or whatever. Is it a week move for a grown man's back. This streak is too strong. I didn't know what to dine am because they're acting like they're a favor. That's a day I said, hey, I went to the bartender. I'm like, hey, man, I don't want to look like a woofs or anything, but can you give me like a glass of club soda or something to water this down? Like, honestly, that's the move. You just ask for something on the side, because I feel like, uh, if you're a bartender's just a message to people that bartend they're working restaurants. You're doing the twenty year old twenty one year old kit a favor by giving them a hefty poor I think anyone of grown man or woman age rather a tasty cocktail than a loaded cock To say that, though, but some of the adults there are pretty tipsy on a random Thursday night and that's the truth. So some people want to cash in on that too, like oh man, free moves, let's go, that's my Christmas bonus. Yeah, I got to tell you we got there after the shottle, so people were feeling pretty nice. I could tell no there. And that's always a fun thing too, when someone's already a couple drinks in and you just get there. You're like, oh yeah, there's conversations we had to catch up to put it kindly, well, hey, hopefully you're enjoying your company parties, your work events, all that good stuff as Christmas is here? Can I say on our bonus podcast over Promised, we do talk about the company holiday party rules, the dues and don'ts of the company holiday party. So can I give everyone one here just a little teased to watch our podcast And that's on our YouTube page, Covino and Rich FSR. If you want to watch it. It's sort of a must watch before you go out. Some great reminders to share with people. I'll give you a really good one. I think it's okay to get a little buzz at the company partner party fun, but you know what, you got to be not the drunkest because there's gonna be one person who's the talk of the office. Do you see Doug or John or Frank or hey, you know afraid you know Johnny I had one too many, see what he was doing. There's always gonna be one guy that drinks too much and throws the chair. Don't be No, he wasn't drunk. I heard him talking about it. Don't be that you named someone who actually is named Doug who works here. Let's he's just gott Lieb in the press. I I'm telling you you're listening that he's a fabio. He's just He's just one name celebrity nowadays.

00:15:39
Speaker 4: Sam was amazed that when Doug through the chair that they just referred to him as Gottlieb on a website like like Share Madonna, Gottlieb those that's what I think of him.

00:15:49
Speaker 1: Yes, he's no longer Doug. I like the aggressiveness, by the way. Yeah, I mean, passion is a good thing. I don't know that's believing that.

00:15:58
Speaker 2: Throws the I would have thrown two chairs.

00:16:01
Speaker 1: But you never want to be the most drunk Tom, Dick, Harry or Doug. Never want to be the drugs person at the party and more of that on over promised our bonus pod. So Rich, let's set this up and let's get the phone calls going about Lebron too. Okay, because it was a big game for the Lakers last night. They won on a buzzer beater, Hachi Mora with the three point buzzer beater, lots of excitement. Dude, I had a double take. I didn't have my glasses on. I'm like, is that Lebron jumping up and down like a little school boy? Like I really couldn't tell, And I'm like, oh my god, it was. It was really cool to see. It was really cool to see how much he still cares, how much it still means to him. I'll never question his passion or his game in that way, but we did question the streak we did, and I'm doubling down on everything I said leading up to it. Interestingly enough, before that game last night, we posted a clip on social media from our show the day before, and we had debated Wednesday show. We had debated Lebron James and how in some of that garbage time at the end of a loss to the Suns, Lebron was out there and it's clear it was to keep the double digit streak alive. It felt that way, and my take was during garbage time, you know what, it's garbage time. I have no problem with Lebron keeping that streak. And then Cavino said, well, it just leans into his mebron selfish. You know, given haters ammunition. People need to understand too. I'm not coming from a hateful place, not hating, just stating if people could see that he's not playing defense and he's only there to score to ten points, it's going to give ammunition to those people that want to talk about Lebron James. And my point was, dude, let it go. Let's focus on wins and let it go. It takes a lot of pressure off, a lot of relief off this streak. And you know what, with Lebron's legacy, while it is a cool streak, I don't think it's I don't think it's going to change the way any of us think of him if that ends or begins or And that's why I said, like, just let it go, because then they could focus on other things like Lebron dishing off and let these other dudes shine because that's the chemistry that's working for the team. Right now, And that's exactly what happened the very next day and within twenty four hours of us doing this in plus in the clip, Lebron scores eight and instead of going for the game winning shot on his own to get to double digits, he dishes it off for the assist. And by the way, I was premeditated too, because according to Hachimur, he said that before the play, like it's going to you. So so cool to see how it played out.

00:18:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, lebron knew Austin Reeves would get doubled.

00:18:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was so cool that he had the foresight to do that, and it all turned out that he hit the shot, and what a perfect way to end that streak. But there's so many levels to this conversation that we got to open it up and go deeper to what level One, If he takes the shot, he's selfish, right right, Yeah, if he makes it, awesome, but oh it's me Bron. If he dishes it off and hot, you more misses. Lebron's scared to take the last shot. You know, big game players take the shot. Water, isn't you take the shot? So it's almost like Lebron's in.

00:19:17
Speaker 2: A no win, or he's selfish going to continue trying to continue his right.

00:19:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, either way, So he's either selfish because he takes the shot and he's me Bron, or he dishes it off and you know he's not a big game player because he doesn't want to take the last shot. So either way, it feels like he has Lebron and a no win. And you know what, I'm not buying, though, Rich, I'm not buying because after the game, obviously they talked about it, and yeah, what does it mean to you? Means nothing because we got the win, and I believe that the win meant a lot. We saw his celebration. It was a perfect way to end the streak. But don't tell me after two thousand and seven and ninety seven games with ten points or more, it doesn't mean anything. Absolutely means something, But I think it was a perfect time to let it go, in a perfect way to let it go. dB, you got some thoughts on this, because we're gonna ppen it up to some phone calls.

00:20:08
Speaker 4: I think Lebron was so excited that they won on his pass without Luka Doncic playing. Oh that's why I think he was so excited. They won a game against a good Toronto team, one of the better teams in the East so far this season, doing it where he was a part of the play and Luka Doncic, everybody's new favorite, was not there to save the day for the Lakers.

00:20:30
Speaker 2: That's how I read it.

00:20:31
Speaker 1: That's why I love chopping it up with you guys. Honestly didn't even cross my mind. And I think that's such a great yeah, that angle that i'm because he was like really excited, Yes, you're right, he should be. I'm like, damn, man, that's kind of crazy. So your thoughts. And then there's of course the thought of we were just talking about this on Wednesday. We posted a clip about it yesterday, and then there's a lot of feedback of like, your clip aged poorly, and I get that sent to me. I don't at all, though I understand I'm going to get that feedback, but did it really We pointed it out and it ended the very next day. You know, It's so funny. I asked my wife, because my wife is quick to be like, yeah, you're wrong, I go, babe, watch this clip. And then I explained to her what happened with Lebron last night and she's like, how did that age wrong at all? She's like, I don't get it. You and Cavino debated what Lebron's you know, what the take is, and it just coincidentally happened. If anything, you could argue that you guys were on point with a good conversation. Yeah, or I don't get she doesn't not even understand how I was like, yeah, I don't get it either. You know, the feedback will say like, yeah, what do you got to say now, It's like, well, I was never hating Anna.

00:21:42
Speaker 2: I didn't think it aged it. I didn't think that was the problem that when people comment this aged poorly. I didn't think that was the case. I just thought because the streak ended, maybe we could update it. But yeah, the point was, the big point we were making was stay in the flow of the game. Remember how I talked about when we filled in for the Dan Patrick Show and Lebron made his debut on the season and he fit in perfectly that night, remember, and we were saying, if he could find that role, that niche on the team and just go with the flow and not force things, this Laker team could go deep like.

00:22:16
Speaker 1: El Payeha said this video h poorly. I'm like, how, but other people are hitting us up saying, Yo, it's your fault, like laughing that we brought it up and that's the day. But you knew what was gonna happen because Lebron's role on this team, Danny, as you said, it does seem like there's an emphasis to maybe take a little bit of it back out the arthritis in his foot, which is something else we got to talk about, like some old guy injuries and things like that. So your thoughts on Lebron's streak. It almost ended, like I said, perfectly, What a perfect way to end it, dishing it off, showing everybody that I'm not selfish. Luca wasn't there, Like dB said, you know they won because I dished it off. But I think it's also like foreshadowing of of what's to come and how they're gonna win and the way they should be playing moving forward. Lakers win one twenty three, one twenty. But that's a streak that started when Bronni James was just a little baby. Kim our buddy whyman on the chat to the saying the chat is lit today. Steban s Steban R said KD. I don't know if this streue goes. KD is at like two hundred and sixty seven. So for someone to match that streak, it's a long long road ahead. For anyone to match that streak of double digits, it's a pretty impressive thing. But it was the perfect way to end it, right, Eighteen years of ten points or more ended last night, the day, the very day after we were talking about it. So it almost felt like orchestrated in a way. I'm not trying to say Lebron intentionally scoring under ten points to take the heat off of them, but I think he was okay with it on that day, like all right, it's time.

00:23:57
Speaker 2: And I think it highlights his new role, yeah, on his current team, and.

00:24:01
Speaker 1: You know what, and I think he accepted that last night. And it's a team that has the second best reference record in the Western Conference. So so far, so good.

I need some Nordic Track in my life to go with my my new supplements that the Boss was being in fun of. I told him, I was like, I'm gonna look twenty five by next month because I started taking NAD plus twenty five pounds heavier, and he's like, my man's jelly beans. My man, you're just gonna pee it out. That ain't gonna work. So I had loading up on NATS NAD plus. If you don't know about it, look it up. I'm not promoted. I'm just saying I feel like by next week, Sam, I'm gonna look twenty five years old. So get this, guys, I hope you had a Lion's I'm Anross Saint Brown, Dan Campbell, Gop sort of night a Lebron James Lakers sort tonight. But there's an update with Lebron. Yeah, And I do think he ended that streak perfectly, even though he lied about it. I think he cared about the streak. Come on, you can't have a streak it's beautiful for the majority of your career since two thousand and seven and not care. But it did end perfectly. Now they could focus on the chemistry that works for that team, which is exactly how it ended. Yesterday, Lakers announced that Lebron James has been dealing with left foot joint arthritis. Left foot joint arthritis in addition to his right sciatica. So he's doubtful to play against the Celtics, unless, of course, dB has an update that I don't know about yet.

00:30:52
Speaker 2: Mike, Grandma has that.

00:30:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's perfect funny would say that because now we're gonna talk about old guy injuries and old guy things like that. Date you Because Rich just had the black liquorice and he said it was his favorite one. I said, I must Does that mean I'm getting old? Because I had the black liquorice and I was like, this is pretty good. It's like beer barrels, Like you remember Grandpa would eat root beer barrels. Maybe I'm a sucker for a good root. The old guy Grandpa can age Davis. Maybe I'm you know who else loves him? Pee wee Herman, look it up. He puts a little strong and he puts a little strong on them. Pee wee.

00:31:34
Speaker 5: You know what.

00:31:35
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what when it comes to little things where you're like, oh man, this feels like an old guy thing about a year and a half ago, two years ago, what else do you like? Rich? Ribbon candy? No I sassafras soda. I came in here a couple of years ago and luckily I'm all good now. But I remember telling you, guys. I'm like, guys, I have plantar fasci itis. My foot was hurting, and I'm like I need Like, uh, that's not something you want to say with like hot chicks are around, I know. I was like, I I have to put aside like nice sneakers that I'm like, guys, I need like a really good supportive pair of sneakers. And I was like, do I have to buy like Brooks or so what are they hocus Like, I remember having a foot issue and I was like, oh, man, is this what happens when you're forty and Lebron is you know, his injury reporter helped those nads work. His injury report is starting to sound like ailments your forty something the year old buddies have, so just you know, it's it's amazing what he's doing when you think about the reality of how old Lebron he has the luxury of in Austin Reeves, who's playing like a superstar right hitting shots like crazy shots off the glass that aren't even supposed to go in there going in. So I think he needs to lean into the fact that they don't need him to play that much, and they don't need you know, the Lebron were used to and he could rely on those dudes, and I think that could work. But you're right, it sounds like an old guy thing. And he said it like, hey man, it's just because I'm getting old. I think the one word that if you say, I don't care if it's Lebron James or you know, a legendary veteran quarterback, if it's Matthew Stafford or anyone a little older. When you say the word arthritis, I think of my grandma. I really do. I think of my grandma. They're reaching my ar right is yeah. But you know what, people on their phones all the time with tech neck and type and all the time their hands are getting sore. Numb thumb younger, Yeah, numb thumb. Younger people are experiencing this stuff. So I want you to start thinking about this, and we're gonna go to Dan Bayer. What are some ailments or references or black liquorice sort of things that are dead giveaways that you're older. Right If someone says, oh, if someone says something about their authright is you automatically know they're probably older than me. One of those dead giveaways. We'll talk about them. Let's go to Dan Byer Live. Put my numb thumb in the jelly. I heard you ordered around a boost for everybody less night at the company party, one for everybody. Did you say Lebron was doubtful? Is that what you said? Cavino? What were you saying? That's what I said. Cording to Bleach report, Y, yeah, earlier today, good because I can update it. He's out.

00:34:08
Speaker 4: He's not going to play tonight, so he has been ruled out. In fact, head coach JJ Reddick said that there's a possibility Luka Doncic could return Sunday when they face the seventy six Ers. No Luca tonight either, as the Lakers have faced the Celtics. NFL news no Kyler Murray for the rest of the season, quarterback being ruled out because of his foot injury. Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Junior is going to miss some of this game against the Rams because of his heel injury. Commander's quarterback Jayden Daniels he is off the injury report and good to go. He will start coming up against the Vikings coming up in week fourteen. That's kind of a game that's completely lost, but of two quarterbacks that are you know, McCarthy trying to come back and Daniels could have been a lot worse with.

00:34:52
Speaker 2: The quarterbacking, no doubt.

00:34:54
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson practice today and will start against Pittsburgh. Bengals tight end t Higgins going to face the Bills after clearing concussion protocol. Defensive Entray Hendrickson is out. Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said now the wide receiver Mike Evans or Jalen McMillan will play against the Saints on Sunday despite practicing this week. Last night, the Lions lost Brian Branch for the season because of a torn achilles. Suffered that injury in that contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Penn State on the verge of hiring Iowa States Matt Campbell to be their head coach, and the World Cup final draw was announced today. The United States will be playing in Group D and they will be playing with Paraguay, Australia and the winner of a European playoff that will be decided at the end of the month. Sesame Street helped raise all of us. Now it's our turn donate this holiday season at sesame dot org because the world needs Sesame and Sesame needs you US.

That's a Thursday against the winner of the European playoff Friday June nineteenth in Seattle against the Aufse's to.

00:36:00
Speaker 1: You, Thank you dB. Now Fox Sports Radio Nation again, start thinking, what are those ailments? What are those references? Those things that people talk about that are dead giveaways that they're older than you?

Oh I hope you get that gabba ghul in your stocking. I hope you get a donkey sweet slice of Pantone for your Chrisms party. Anyway, We're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio. The Hew's of It. Lee. Yes, hard for me to concentrate with this Christmas class I've never heard this before until it is great. It's the story of Dominic the Donkey Iowa, Sam, Can I tell you I was saying Christmas Donky before we were here at Fox Sports Radio, CIVI you know, and I you know some people know. We were at Serrius XM for years, right, we would play that song around Christmas, and much like here at Fox Sports Radio where we're on random parts of the country, around the whole world. Some cities that is the most popular song. Other people like never heard it. Yeah, my girlfriend's from Idaho, never heard of it, heard of them now It's her favorite song for real. When I tell you, I was saying, in New York, they play that song every hour on the hour, on like on multiple radio stations. Yeah. Now, the region we grew up on, the East Coast a bunch of batcha gloops. So anyway, Covino and Rich out here on the West Side line from the Fox Sports Radio Studio, Happy Holidays, is time for our tire rect play of the day. Lebron made the right play instead of going for his record double digit streak.

00:38:06
Speaker 2: Just make sure you get the last shot in regular weirds.

00:38:10
Speaker 1: There it goes roots to Jones chick it corner growing to win the game, and James gave him the basketball. I love hello and James gave him the basketball. The assist was as impressive as the shot. Lakers win buzzer beater over the Raptors one twenty three, one twenty courtesy of Lakers Television from Spectrum Sportsnet. And that's our tire Raq Play of the Day. For over forty years, Tirak has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free back by free Road has the protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation Tirack dot Comoy tire buying should be And you know, as I heard that call, and you know we saw it, and we saw Lebron freaking out in excitement. The whole team was super pumped, lots of chest pumps. That's sort of how we end every good show here at Fox Sports Radio. If he didn't hit that shot, then Lebron just ends the streak and it's weak. I know the fact that he hit, that he made that perfect pass and that he hit the shot is what made it awesome. It's imperfect ending. It's indicative of the new, unselfish team play of Lebron James at this stage of his career, you know what. So good for him. He had a shot, so he made the ending of the streak perfect and poetic, and they get the W.

00:39:34
Speaker 2: So it really was awesome. I love the three pointers from Really Too. They're almost like line drives, like smooth line drives, the opposite of the rainbow from Jamal Clawford back in the day.

00:39:43
Speaker 1: Now two quick thoughts. Number one, I'm still thinking about Dominic to Donkey. You know why Santon needs Dominic to Donkey? I was sam because Rudolph don't Rudolph can't climb the hills of it to Lee, come on, don't they fly? Are you ruining the song? Don't bring your logic into this Christmas classic. Don't be Matt Rife. So my other thought was, if you're in Boston tonight, I'm sure it might be snowy. My mom and brother in Maryland and my sister in New York. Bolt said, snowy, very very you know, cold wintery weather on the East Coast. Imagine you put on your big ass jacket, you bundle up to go see the Celtics Lakers. No Lebron, no Luca. I get it. You expect that. You got almost prepare for that when you go to the NBA. Oh, that's a major. When you go to an NBA game regular season, it's a possibility. But Celtics Lakers historic rivalry, you show up there with your kid, no Luca, no Lebron, It's gotta be disappointing, right. It makes me think of the Birthday Boy. This week, Rich's dad had tickets to see Hugh Jackman in the lead of a play on Broadway, and they found out Huge wasn't performing. It's like, oh, I want a refund an he got. My dad's like, I did not come to New York City. I want to see the understand. Yeah, this is not what I paid for. So my dad's like, I got it. You can. By the way, you can get a refund if you go to a Broadway show and the star is not there, you can. Yeah, this could have been your chance to see Lebron and Luca and it's not happening. But guess what, You can't get your money back. All right, We got more CNR next on Fox Sports Radio
