| 0:11.3 | Andrew DeCechko here, DeCecho DeCo DeC. |
| 0:13.9 | This is a bonus episode because I didn't want to wait until next week to weigh in on the Mackay-Beckton transaction. |
| 0:20.2 | But late on Friday night, ESPN's Tim |
| 0:23.2 | McManus reported that McKay-Bectin agreed to a deal with the Chargers, a two-year deal. |
