Welcome to heat check on your host, John Gonzalez joined as I am every week by my producer, Steve Alman.

Hello. Steve, the Super Bowl. We're going to real quick. I'm happy for Andy Reed and you're happy that something positive happened in 2020.

Finally, absolutely finally, it was a fun game. I thought I was worried for Andy because Andy has a history as everybody knows of things not working out. Yes. And it finally worked out for him.

It was I was genuinely like it was the most wholesome Super Bowl. I've probably seen in a very long time and it's it's genuinely gotten me through a lot that's happened this past January.

Yeah, I spent a long time in Philadelphia watching Andy sort of stumble about and was happy to see him go because I thought it was time after I believe it was 14 years.

And then you know absence in the heart. It grows fonder and he's gone and I'm glad he succeeded and I'm glad he has a Super Bowl. And he was this is this is really funny. So you might have heard a little noise there as old Isaac would know my wife has this on canny knack of calling.

Coming up later in the show, as I mentioned the trade deadline will discuss the rapidly approaching trade deadline, which will be on Thursday. We'll look at which teams should maybe make some moves or stay pat, which players we want to see find new homes.

But first lots of news from the weekend. So let's bring in Dan and Haley to review the headlines.

He's heating up. He's on fire.

All right, one of them is in studio. One is way across the country in our NYC HQ. It's heat check coast to coast with Haley and Dan. What's up guys? Hey, guys, how are you?

Wonderful. We made it here. We're doing a post Super Bowl show. Everybody else called out not us. We are excited to get into the trade deadline. Ladies and gentlemen, whoo. All of that coming up. But first lot of news from the weekend. Let's review the headlines from around the league with NBA instant replay.

All right. So we did an entire show or not an entire show, but a lot of our show last week was about Kobe Bryant. Thanks everybody for the positive feedback on that one. Kobe continues to be a big story. The Lakers played their first game since the layoff on Friday.
