usually every Friday during the course of the NFL season at 525 in the morning myself and

al dukes uh have a little NFL ritual now al was off most of this week he worked on monday

he's been out the rest work Monday yeah worked Monday no he was off all week he was off Monday

yeah brain not working he's been out all week um and he'll be out until next Friday so since

he's not here today there was no cool games at 525. Now, you have sat in for me and done this with him. Yes. I have done it when he's not been here on a Friday doing the warm-up show by myself. But today I figure, why not get this in? Even without him, we'll bring him back in spirit. He's not dead. He's just off. We'll bring him back in spirit here to give us the intro. And then we will do the

week 17 edition of Cool Game.

Thank you so much, Jerry Reco. Now allow me to serenade you all with my music.

Time for your cool games.

You know that it's time for some cool games.

Time for cool games.

Cool games.

You know that it's time for some cool...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, so.

And then he'll tell you about cigarettes and nudie magazines and the whole thing.

So now, if you're not up at 525 every Friday morning,

you might have just thrown up in your mouth listening to that,

but we have fun with it.

By the way, I don't think you caught it. You were looking down. Nice little tip of the cap to CBS Sports Network because they came out of break. They were zoomed in on the warm-off show ornament on the tree behind you, I think knowing that we were about to do this segment here. Very well done.

So my guys over there, Stephen and Andrew and everybody, Max, great job.

So and Greg.

All right.
