Hey Alexa, play 98.7 ESPN.

Football Eve, it all begins tomorrow. Chiefs against the Lions. Now we'll have Dan Orlovsky join us in a couple of minutes, but Don, since Friday, has been saying how much he loves the Lions.

Now he did have a caveat yesterday when he said, I didn't say when, I said cover. Well, Don, with the injury to Kelsey, the Lions dropped from the Chiefs being a six-and-a-half point favorite to now being a four-and-a-half point favorite.

Wow.

So they look at him as worth two points. Do you still love the Lions?

Well, I love him a lot less. And since I don't have to pick the game.

No, you do not. If we were doing this in Detroit, I would say, well, we got to pick the Lions game. I would still pick the Lions, but I went from love to a strong infatuation.

What?

Making out sort of thing?

If it works out, like I went from marrying the Lions to now just getting their number.

So you went from Kate Beckins out to what?

Because the night Natalie Merchant.

That's a big drop off, I think, for you.

Because he loves himself some Kate Beckinsale.

Did you know that Kate Beckinsale is also a member of Mensa?

She's considered a genius.

What do you think my love comes from?

Yeah, that's a good intellectual conversation. Don doesn't do these things in a vacuum.

No, no one does. Peter, have you looked at the slate and toyed with your three games?

I have not even remotely, you know, I'm defending champion as you guys well.

Yeah, and Don's a loser and I'm right in the middle.
