Do something dumb, that's an observation.

See our team make them need to run.

That's Lauren Feller!

I don't marry trash.

The empty for short.

Wonder if we best,

won't you peep the score. Up at the crack of dawn. Top stories of the morning while you yawn and grab your coffee, rise and shine with 8.80 am. This is drop time. We provide highlights from your favorite teams. Got David Rick making plenty of picks. It's rule 76. Oh, yeah, here we are. Thanksgiving week. Monday, the day after both the locals lose yet again. Jets just quietly lose. Lamar Jackson doesn't look healthy. Met's with a big trade. Giants with another loss that they find a way to get done. Good morning, Rick. How are you? Yeah, we call it Monday, Dave.

That's pretty much what we call it. Both New York football teams lose. It's Monday. That's right. Then we've got to talk about it. Pick up the pieces. That's what we do so well around here. At least when you're dead, it doesn't hurt that much. Well, but it's not even that it hurts. it's just like this this monotonous

kind of like

imbeating Well, but it's not even that it hurts. It's just like this, this monotonous kind of like embarrassing feeling.

They're like, I have friends that root for functional NFL teams that, you know, get to celebrate wins and the playoffs or like at least being in position to make the playoffs at Thanksgiving.

And we root for two teams that, I mean, your team's officially out of it, first team to officially be eliminated from the playoffs. So congratulations for that. Thank you. Thank you for that. I mean, our teams are out of it before we get dressed up for Halloween. Before I get RJ's candy rankings, we're done. That's right. But it's been like that.

And it's nothing new to that. And I don't know why. Like being the first team to be eliminated, is that really that all? Like, they're not going to the playoffs. So the fact that I know that I like, yeah, but I have people laugh. Oh, you're the first team. What do I care first team eliminated? I know they weren't going to the playoffs. you know your team's not going to the playoffs.

I mean, Bengals know they're not going to the playoffs.

Yeah, I mean, Bengals know they're going to the playoffs. I mean, you're bad, you're bad. Right. But I think that I personally, knowing you as well as I know you, can't necessarily use you as the gauge for this thing because you don't have feelings just in general. Like nothing really bothers you. So once you're dead, you're dead. Well, I mean, stuff bothers me. Right. I mean, the Cowboys game bothered me. The Broncos game bothered me. But how many times am I going to lose? Oh, shock of all shocks. The Giants are up double digits and lost again. This is what they are. No, here's what I meant, though. It's I think for those people that are upset, right? Or those people that want to bring it up. It's because whoever, you know, whatever the Giants fan, you know, it is that you're talking to will get so. I mean, I think if you bring it up, your hope is that they would get annoyed by it.
