Here we go on a Monday live in Los Angeles. This is the herd wherever you may be and however you may be listening

We're on I heart radio Fox Sports Radio and FS1 Joy Taylor was at the all-star game in Chicago was joining me one hour from now

Where Colin was right where Colin was wrong? There's plenty of both joy. How are you this morning?

I'm great a lot warmer here in LA than in Chicago

Five degrees in Chicago. It was very cool, but it was beautiful love Chicago. I made a great job with everything

I wasn't at the actual game. I was at Saturday nights festivities, but which were fun too. It was very fun

Good stuff Chicago's a great American city just not in January and February

Little chilly. I want to start with this. I usually don't talk about all-star games

I've never done a segment after a pro bowl. I don't really talk about the all-star game

I don't talk about the hockey all-star game

I really don't talk about the NBA all-star game, but yesterday is significant not just because

It was really really entertaining, but over the last 15 years

if LeBron James cares about something

Then then the players care about something. This is a star driven league in the NFL the stars bail on the pro bowl

You know, let's face it

They play it before the Super Bowl so many of the best players aren't available and the other available players stars don't want to play in the game

So what is the symbolism? What is the signal in the national football league to the players who aren't super stars?

Oh super stars are gonna play in it
