Do something dumb.

Team for short.

Wonder if we best, won't you keep the score.

Up at the crack and dawn top stories of the morning while you're yawning, grab your coffee, rise and shine with 880 a.m. This is drop time. We provide highlights from your favorite teams. Got David Rick making plenty of picks. It's Rule 76. Oh, yeah, Rule 76. What a treat. We're back here at another great day for the NFL. The Giants do it again. I guess you shouldn't even care.

Like, they gave you some competitiveness and then they just couldn't get over the hump in the end.

A little punishment for Abdul Carter. That lasted six plays. We got a lot to do today. A lot to do today.

And I say good morning to the great Rick D.P.H. Hello, Rick. How are you? Oh, I'm doing great, David. How are you doing? I'm okay. You look great. I got to tell you, you look great. Every day I see you. I feel like you're losing another ounce. Well, yeah, I had a way in yesterday. It was a delightful way in. We're getting towards our goal because we can't eat until we get to Thanksgiving Day. I don't know why that's funny. We can't eat. That sounds like an enjoyable diet. Yeah. Well, we went to a lacrosse tournament on Saturday, Long Island. And as we're going out there, we stopped at the bagel store to get Alex something, some nourishment, as they would say. And Sherry says to me, do you want me to run in and get you something as well?

I was like, are you crazy?

No.

No, I don't want anything. You know what I'm in the process of not eating. And now you're like, do you want a bagel with cream cheese? No, I don't want anything like that. So I didn't have. And then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings in between games to try to watch.

And that's a very tough place to eat when you're really watching calories. Yeah, it's not the, it's not the easiest place. No. Try to be on a diet. And the waitress, I was like, so let me get this salad, but I don't want the barbecue sauce on. She's like, what, why? I was like, because I don't, I don't want. I was like, do you have any, any like two or three items that are healthy on the menu? And she looks at me, she's like, no. She's like, why did you come here? I was because you have the games. That's why I want, I want to watch the games. I'd like some lettuce and some vinegar. Please. Yeah. I got a, yeah, I got a salad, little grilled chicken and some vinaigret. Listen, when you set your mind to something,

that's right.

You're going to get it done. I got a, yeah, I got a salad, a little grilled chicken. I like it. Some vinaigret.

Listen, when you set your mind to something, that's right.
