What's going on everybody?

Gonna have some fun tonight.

Talk some ball.

Mix in some non-football stuff as well.

You get the Yanks winning.

We got a series in the ALCS. That's nice.

AFC South primetime tilt.

I don't know if everybody is racing to their TV sets.

I don't know if you're just clearing your schedule for Titans, Colts.

But I'll tell you what, man, it turned out to be a fairly entertaining game,

considering that it was Colts and Titans in the AFC South.

But I'll tell you what, at the end of the game, it's crazy because this extra point rule has made a big difference. We've seen a handful of games. We saw the Raiders game get impacted yesterday. When Tevecchio missed

the extra point, it was a bad snap, led to a bad kick. And the Raiders only had a two-point

lead, came back to bite him. Lost by a point after the Chargers hit a field goal themselves.

He saw it in the Monday night game.

Adam Vinatari, of all kickers, missed an extra point,

so instead of an 11-point lead, it was only a 10-point lead for the Colts.

And you fast forward to where the end of the game, it's a tie game,

and then that had a ripple effect with everything else.

The Titans go up by seven.
