This is the best of the herd with Colin Cowherg on Fox Sports Radio.

Oh, here we go on a loaded Monday.

Live in Los Angeles, it's the herd.

Great to have you back wherever you may be and however you may be

listening. IHeart Radio, Fox Sports Radio, FS1, one hour from now where Colin was right, where Colin was wrong.

I was supposed to work last Thursday. I got a booster shot and got very warm for about two days,

but I am back. I feel great. I want to thank everybody

for tuning us in. You have a lot of options. A lot of people are off. The airports are jammed.

So many of you are with friends, skiing, family somewhere, and you're choosing us today. Enjoy

Taylor, who was awesome doing the show when I'm gone, which is amazing. Thank you. And you crushed it, and you're clever, and I was at an area, and you were on the big screen, and you and Alex look unbelievable on the air. It was like that. You looked a lot better than I would have looked. Thank you. Well, it was quite an operation getting set up over there. I know I look like I'm very tall and statue-esque, but I'm actually five-two. So Colin is a foot taller than me. So it was a whole thing with the chair and a lot of adjustments. I was like, I'm not so I was calling, but we figured it out. Oh, you did great. So, you know, it is, you know, when you're a single guy and you've got all these cheesy pickup lines, right? And you got all these lines and I'm funny and everything.

And after about the third date,

you kind of had lines and you kind of get exposed for who you are.

Who are you and what are you?

And it's the same way in the NFL season.

We're in week 16.

Everybody knows everybody's plays.
