It's the Mike Francesa podcast on the Bet Rivers Network.

Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the Mike Francesa podcast, part of the Bet Rivers Network.

We come to you on this Friday before Super Sunday.

Obviously a lot going on this weekend.

And here in New York, it will start this evening at what will be the highly anticipated showdown between

St. John's and Yukon and a sold-out Madison Square Garden.

And Yukon thinks of Madison Square Garden as its home away from home.

They bring a lot of people.

They would sell more tickets if they were available.

The crowd, and remember, this is St. John's Home Court,

and they play there more prominently now with Patino here than they did in the old days.

This will be a St. John's crowd, but there will be plenty of Yukon fans in the building.

If I had a guess, I'd say it's probably going to be like 11,000 St. John's and 7,000, 8,000, 8,000, because

it's going to be a sellout. Very interesting game and a great way to start this Friday night

on what is a big weekend. The Olympics, if you're into it it and let me for a second say this because I haven't mentioned this this week and I was remiss

our thoughts and prayers go out to Savannah Guthrie who has got to live through this nightmare

and you know NBC has the Olympics they have the Super Bowl this weekend. So it's a huge weekend for them. And they obviously have to delicately deal with this story with their today show anchor and their Olympic host dealing with the fact that her 84 year old mother was abducted.

And we are watching this unfold in front of our eyes and thinking about what a nightmare it would be for anybody.

So let's hope for a speedy and positive solution to the whole situation,

which is just hard to watch.

It really is.

So we send there our best.
