We'll talk to Kurt Heelan in about 20 minutes, about some hoops, and Super Bowl

champion, former Ramebe Packer, NFL analyst Brady Pupinga, will be on in the third hour.

Remember, we have the after hour today as well on the Rome Fast channels. We've got the great

big head James Kelly and his bets, me and Adam Rank like

yesterday. I'm going to hang out, chop it up, talk some diehard. All right, so it's basically

Christmas, right? It's basically the holiday. And in the spirit of festive cheer, I put together

what I want for Christmas. Here is my Jim Rome fill-in Bill Ryder Christmas list.

Oh, wow, that's nice behind me there.

Looking good.

Those of you that have followed my career a little bit, see me on Rome in the past. No, I don't love Chris Paul. It's time, bro. He had a great career. I think Chris Paul is one of the great point guards, regular

get out of here. I want the Chicago Bears to be real. This is more of a Christmas miracle. Adam
