| 0:00.9 | Are we checking in with David, ticket texts? |
| 0:03.0 | Get back to the phones. |
| 0:04.3 | We got a couple of football todays. |
| 0:05.7 | We got a lot of stuff to cover, but this is, it's illuminating. |
| 0:10.9 | That graphic I'm on Monday night football, it is. |
| 0:12.9 | The fact that the Lions, if the season ended today, not in the playoffs. |
| 0:16.1 | The fact that Sunday left a real bad taste in a lot of people's mouths, |
| 0:20.0 | the fact that when you look at |
| 0:21.6 | 10 and 7 wasn't good enough last year to make the playoffs if you were Seattle. And now this year, |
| 0:27.6 | you have a couple of teams that are about to get their ninth win before we even get to the month |
