That seems to me the obvious thing to do off the very top today would be to continue to cover Jerry Jones' publicity tour for his glory whole days.

Smiles and glory holes.

Between that and Brian Schottenheimer's whole wink-wink act about being confident that he'll have Micah for week one against Philadelphia.

I mean, I could easily knock out 15 minutes on that right off the very top.

Andrew, you are not the fire.

Jera, you are not the show open.

Oh, oh, oh.

Sorry about that, Jera. Instead, I'm going to start with a dude. Not only do you lose the show open, I can't even believe who I am going to start with instead of you. I'm starting with a dude that I actually never thought would open another program.

Now, you could call him Mr. Heartbreaking and Devastating. It's devastating. Heartbreaking.

You could call him Mr. Alabama every week.

It's Alabama every week.

You could call him the head ball coach who can kick whatever kicker he wants.

I'm not the head ball coach. I'll kick you whenever I want.
