Oh, right, of course, because I should know who that is.

0:03.8

I don't care what you think. It's, I'll tell you something that rub me right. Felger and Mazz on 985, the Sports Hub. All right, back here on Felger and Mazz. No Felger, no Mazz. It's Alex, Barth, Matt Dolf with you one hour to go on an agenda-free Christmas Eve as you work your way into your holiday. or some people who are already at their holidays.

Somebody text me and say, God, free Christmas Eve as you work your way into your holiday or some people who are already

at their holidays.

Somebody texted me and said, got to his aunt's house and we were on the TV.

0:27.7

So shout out to his aunt.

I think there are plenty of 25 to 50 year old men out there that prefer to have us on right

0:35.3

now as opposed to, I don't know, one of those fireplace videos. Like they like to have us in the background. The fireplace video, when you get the noise with the crackling low, it is nice. But if you want to join us, 617779-0-985, I'll also tell you there is no off-air show tonight, obviously with it being Christmas Eve. But if there was one, it would be presented by Miller Light, the original light beer, legendary stories in the off air show, start with the light.

Here's to 50 years of Miller time.

I do want to get into tomorrow's slate.

1:02.4

You know, you're tuned to us right now.

1:04.3

But tomorrow, a slate of games, obviously the NBA owning Christmas, the NFL has tried to encroach on that in recent years and make Christmas their day. It's gone from, you know, okay, Christmas on a Thursday. We're going to mix a Thursday night game and we usually do Saturday games this time of year. No, they played on Wednesday last year. They're going to do it this year. I don't love that they're doing that. Don't get me wrong.

But, you know, the NFL, all right, you want to put three games on Christmas, just like you do on Thanksgiving. They're going to get dragged for this slate. This is not, and look, earlier in the season, it looked better, but boy, did they end up with a

2:23.5

rough one tomorrow.

2:24.6

So we're going to start off with the Cowboys and Commanders who have both been eliminated

2:27.9

from the playoffs.

2:29.2

And the commanders are banged up, and they're not going to have Jane Daniels, all that.

2:34.6

So that one, eh.

2:36.8
