Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

All right, why don't we start first with last night's matchup?

That was kind of a bum out.

What a buzzkill.

That was supposed to be one of the best games of the NFL season last night.

And it turned out to look pretty much like exactly every other barely

watchable Thursday night football game because even the good TNF games

suck and sure Wouldn't the good T&F games suck?

And sure yes, it sucked way more for Bengal fan than for Raven fan, but it's not like Raven

Fan is feeling amazing right about now either. They'll take the win, however it came at a cost.

It's not like Raven fan didn't immediately get nauseous watching Mark Andrews get hip dropped and knocked out for the season just four minutes into the game.

Then even more Queasy when Lamar Jackson got his ankle rolled up and had to hit the medical tent before the end of the first quarter.

Didn't look good, did it? Thankfully he came out of it looking mostly fine.

And by the end of the game, even after the dub, he was pretty well sick and tired of talking about the ankle.

You were wearing a blue sort of wrap on your ankle.

Is that heat?

It was a heat pack, but I'm good.

We need to start talking about this ankle. I'm good. You see I just walked up here I'm good. We ain't going to talk nothing to existence. You know speak nothing to existence. I'm good. We're not going to talk this into existence. Man, I'm good. I'm good.

Stop asking me about my ankle. We're not going to talk that injury into existence.

I like that.

Lamar might be good, but unfortunately Mark Andrews is not good.

In fact, below not good.
