0:00.0	My best bet last night on Football Night America was Drake London over on his receiving yards prop, and I felt really good about that. This is somebody who came in with a 33% target chair. I'm like even though Darnel Mooney's there, they'll take a couple shots to Mooney, but against this defense, they should target London early and often. And I was right. He got 10 targets. He got 10 targets. And does he get it?
0:21.7	He does not get it.
0:22.9	He does not get it. He gets only one reception in the second half. Ten targets. And he can only come down with the ball four times. Yelling. How bad? Like, I'm sorry. Listen, we love you, Detective Drake London. I don't blame you. I blame Michael Pennex.
0:36.7	I blame the offensive line of the Atlanta Falcons.
0:39.5	Get the ball to Drake London.
0:40.9	Why is the offensive line of the
0:38.4	Atlanta Falcons. Get the ball to Drake London. Why is five? When you have good players, you know what
0:44.1	you do with good players, you get in the ball. You get in the ball, Connor Rogers. It's not tough.
0:48.6	I'm no genius, but you know what I know? Hey, getting the ball to your best wide receiver?
0:53.9	That's a good idea. It helps. Remember when I was coaching girls basketball? I had a girl that was six feet, six inches taller than everyone else. Get up the stage. Hey, girls, get Josie the ball in the paint. We went undefeated. We won the championship because I followed the very easy coaching principle of get your good players the ball.
1:12.3	Off the stage, Benacio Del Berry.
1:14.0	Let's go.
1:18.4	Fantasy football happy hour with Matthew Barry.
1:25.0	Welcome to the fantasy football happy hour.
1:28.4	That is right.
1:30.1	Tonight is tip-off night.
1:32.1	Let's go.
1:33.5	The NBA is back on NBC and Peacock.
1:40.1	And we are in the tip-off mood.
1:43.1	Look at us.
1:43.5	The NBA and NBC drinks for free.
2:03.6	Yes, exactly right. Yes, the NBA on NBC. So excited at debut. Again, tonight. You see it back there, by the way, among our coverage tonight. You see number 15 right there, Carmelo Anthony. That's his Q's jersey. I went to Syracuse. That's a great jersey. I got to meet my new colleague and, dare I say, best friend.
