| 0:00.0 | Jim Dunaway, Lance Taylor, Ryan Brown, the next round, presented by Bud Light, is on now. |
| 0:14.1 | The always scintillating Armando Salgarra joins us to start hour number two to talk about the NFL schedule release happening tonight. |
| 0:24.1 | Could be good news, bad news for LTs Rams. |
| 0:27.4 | They got the news they're playing the night before Thanksgiving. |
| 0:29.6 | We'll get his reaction to that coming up in our number two. |
| 0:34.0 | A little bit later on, PGA Championship is underway today. |
| 0:38.0 | We'll do leaderboard updates throughout the day on that. |

| 0:52.8 | ESPN. |
| 0:55.2 | ESPN doesn't want the 2014 playoff. |
