We got tons all over the country now. Sirius XM Channel 158 and everybody on a smart speaker. It's Friday night. Shout out to my people getting that money. My delivery drivers, my Uber drivers trying to make that extra bread on a Friday. I hope you don't get too many drunks in that car.

If you're drunk in the back of somebody's car right now, wake your ass up. Make sure you give a good tip. We got a lot of chefs and restaurant workers. Hey, shout out to all my bar people. What up, bar people? I like y'all.

Hope y'all got all the money too. Have a shot for me. Take two shots for me. Chef doesn't drink, so take a shot for him too.

Is that okay, chef? No, right? No? Of course they can't, just as long as they do it responsibly always. Yeah, responsibly. Be responsible.

Yes. Yeah, don't be irresponsible like me. Hey, don't be irresponsible like Stetson Bennett. That man stood in front of the media today or Friday, whatever day it is.

And he's like, well, let me remind you. Stetson Bennett, a couple of weeks after the parade, was in Dallas, Texas. And he was arrested on a Sunday morning for being intoxicated, knocking on people's doors. He didn't know where the hell he was and he got arrested. And then he was hiding from the cops a little bit.

However, you can a little bit hide from the cops. He did that until he was apprehended. And so today at his pro day, Stetson Bennett. Yeah, I guess he apologized. Whatever he did. Listen to this. It was, you know, a mistake.

I understand why that can't happen. I've talked to coaches about it, talked to GMs, you know, apologized to my family. That's who I felt worse about.

I felt like I let them down. You know, I've got an obligation on the fourth. Can't do that if your last name is Bennett. Can't do that if your last name is Bennett. So if he was Stetson Bennett, the second or third, would it be OK? Well, just because you're Bennett, you can't do man. Nobody gives a damn what your last name is.

Just try not to be intoxicated. That's it. But he's lived life. He's a two time national champion.

He's the king of Athens. He can afford to be drunk outside, I guess. It's not going to get him an NFL job.

And if it is, it's third string. Practice squad. XFL. I still have no idea how people think that he's going to do something in the NFL. It's a long shot, folks.

A long shot. He and Kyler Murray are the same age. 25 years old. By the time the season starts, October, Stetson Bennett is going to be 26. 26 year old rookie out here busting ass. Not happening.

We got 32 spots. Do you think they're giving him a chance? 49ers will have to run through every quarterback again before we see somebody like Stetson Bennett. Anyway, he's not the only quarterback that spoke at the combine. Bryce Young, all six feet or maybe five foot 10 inches of the guy, one hundred and ninety four pounds. He was telling everybody in the nicest, most polite way possible. I'm not too small. I've been this size respectfully my whole life. You know, I know who I am. I know what I can do. And, you know, for me, you know, I think it's fair.

You know, everyone can speculate and ask whatever questions are necessary. But, you know, I'm going to continue to control what I can control and keep working my hardest to put myself into position. I'm confident myself.

I know what I can do. And, you know, I'm just excited to get to that next level. Yeah, he's excited to get to the next level.

Well, let me tell you something. When you go from college and I've seen this with my own eyes. When you go from college to the pros. You're making more money.

Well, well, yeah, I mean, some of these guys are making well, they were making money under the table, but you're now a professional. You would expect the level of care and attention and the accommodations. You would expect them to be better. It's the NFL.

In most cases, yes. For the top programs, some of these players, some of these college athletes from the SCC, the ACC. They're going to go to the NFL and they're going to have a downgrade in facilities. That's something I know. I've been in NFL locker rooms and training facilities and I've seen Ohio State's and Notre Dame's.

And it is night and day. I'd rather stay in my ass in college working out than go work out there. I'm not going to drop no team names, not from my own knowledge. And so for the first time, the NFL Players Association actually polled and they participated in this. They don't always participate in collective bargaining. Fourteen hundred players responded to a survey. About the teams with the best amenities and and they basically got grades. These were basically or this was basically a report card for the players to evaluate the clubs and how they treat them. To the shock of no one.

Let's get this the hell up on out the way. The Washington commanders were ranked last. Number thirty two.

When it came down to the report card. The NFL Players Association said, besides the strength coaches who received great feedback as one of the best groups in the league, the rest of the club's operations and facilities were rated by player respondents at the bottom of every single category. Treatment of families, food service and nutrition, the weight room, training room, training staff, locker room and team travel. What the hell is this man feeding them? This man being Daniel Snyder. What are you feeding them oatmeal for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

Here's some bread and some water. The Minnesota Vikings were given the number one ranking and good for them. I was actually at their facility last summer.

Horrible Harry, Harry, horrible Harry, my main man, horrible Harry. I was there with Kevin O'Connell. They have a beautiful, beautiful practice facility.

And it's brand new. The weight room saw the locker room. I was like, damn, I could come play here. I could be running back for the Vikings. I could. I'd be better than Adrian Peterson.

Just like Shep would beat up Mike Tyson. Vikings a number one. The Dolphins number two, the Raiders three.

At the bottom, I told you the commanders and then we run into some of the terrible issues with other teams. And by the way, the Chargers, they were ranked 30th. The Cardinals are some cheapskates. The Cardinals will let you take food home from the practice facility. But the Arizona Cardinals charge their players to take it home. If you're leaving, if your ass been working all day at the Arizona Cardinals practice facility. If you want dinner to take home. They will charge you. It's going to come out of your paycheck. Players are also charged for every meal they eat at the facility during the off season. If you're coming in. To get some work in in May. You're going to have to drive the I don't know, Chipotle.

That you might be charging you the same way at work. And by the way, the quality of the Cardinals food ranked dead last. What are the Cardinals doing? I love this. These teams are getting called out and now they got to change it.

It is absolutely hilarious. The Cincinnati Bengals. I told you their owner was cheap.

Mr. Brown. The players have issues with the showers and toilets not consistently working. The Bengals are the only team that does not have outlets in their lockers to charge devices.

That electric bill is crazy. The Bengals are also one of two teams that does not provide vitamins to their players. They are the only team that does not provide supplements.

Hey, this is good for. This is actually good for Bryce Young. Bengals don't need him. They're not going to give you vitamins and supplements to get bigger in the Cardinals. They got Kyler Murray even though he's broken. The Cardinals are charging you for food.

Congratulations, Bryce Young. You won't be on any of those teams. Commander's players. The training room is understaffed. Some players are forced to have a roommate at the team hotel the night before a game. The commanders don't fly their gigantic ass players first class.

The commanders have a lack of warm water and poor drainage in their showers. Wow. We talked about this last night. One of our callers talked about how bad the strength and conditioning coach was with the Ravens. He got the boot.

Steve Saunders is gone. The Chiefs, even though they just won a championship, the Chiefs training staff ranked as the worst in the NFL. The Chargers. They got no room. The Chargers operate out of an office building.

And then to take the cake here. If you play for the Jacksonville Jaguars, they are waiting to build a brand new facility. Jaguars had rats. Players reported that for three to four weeks this past season, there was a rat infestation in the locker room and in the laundry hampers. The Jaguar Stadium, where they practice as well. That's why they're building a new facility. Inspectors found one hundred fifty nine incidents of rat droppings and discovered one twenty nine one hundred and twenty nine violations at concession stands. So if you're going to go see a Jacksonville Jaguars game. Beware the rats are amongst you.

Don't eat. It affects the players as well. You know, when you think about all the money and these facilities look nice. I guess all the players don't have it as good as we thought they did.

Stand in, you know, top class hotels and four or five star hotels and the best of melodies and being waited on hand and foot. Some of these teams, they know what it's like to take a cold shower. A rat in the hamper, though, I can't imagine. And then the commanders or is anybody surprised. That the commanders are the worst. But the Arizona Cardinals.

They have to be the most embarrassed. You are charging your NFL players. To eat. The fact is, these dudes are using their bodies. I'm not no damn nutritionist.

I'm not a physical therapist, a physiologist. It's common sense if you want someone to perform at peak level, at optimal peak level. Opt them. You got to feed them. You want to encourage their nutrition. You don't want to charge them like they're out at a restaurant.

That has to be the most shocking thing I've seen. And the Bengals, if you want to play for the Bengals, man. You better get go to GNC. We don't have nothing here for you. Go to GNC. Get your vitamins. We don't got it for you.

Is this not a confirmation of everything we've known already? The Bengals are cheap. The Bidwells are cheap. I just didn't know they were that cheap where they didn't want to. They don't they don't pay for food. They charge the players for food. Shep, are you not surprised about that or am I bugging? I mean, I'm amazed that anybody, I don't care if it's the commanders, I don't care if it's the Bengals, whatever the franchise may be.

If you are a NFL franchise and you are in excess of billions upon billions of dollars, how in the hell can you charge any player or any team personnel member anything extra than what you're already making when it comes to gate and TV revenue? I don't get it. It's embarrassing.

It's embarrassing. Hey, you want to eat clean? You want some you want some grilled chicken and some broccoli and some rice? That's going to cost you $15 out of your paycheck. What? Although Jared, the question I would have for you as a follow up would be, and I understand you were mentioning the Cardinals, obviously one of those teams that charges for bringing home meals.

Let's say Kyler Murray decides to study the playbook and actually does a send like we are accustomed to seeing from number one overall picks. You really think they're going to charge him? Like, aren't there are there at least some exceptions to the rule? Oh, my God. You can't charge the star quarterback.

I would think so. Or maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe they do like I mean, I eat food at college. I eat food outside in college. Don't you get a car?

Now, how do I work? Correct. But if you are a and this is just obviously the Division one level. If you are a Division one star athlete, not even the superstar campus athlete, big man, big woman on campus, but just just a scholarship athlete, you eat for free. Well, I don't know. I'm just I'm trying to make sense if Kyler Murray goes into the cafeteria. And he says, I want this. Yeah.

Do they not just still scan something? I can't imagine anyone. It's like to me, it's it's almost like Derek Jeter being charged in New York, you know. Well, that no, that's the Yankees. Right.

That's not even by the way. Oh, my God. The Yankees have some of the best food. Yes. That between the Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys.

What a shock, right? The Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys. And I'll say this, too. And it's not because I live here. The Atlanta Hawks have some of the best food anywhere between the Yankees, the Cowboys and the Hawks.

You can get fat when it comes to the premium food options. But my point is, I would think that Kyler Murray goes into the place and that they scan something and for inventory purposes and it comes out of his check. He he don't. What's he thinking about? You think Kyler Murray is checking his statements? This man has direct. I don't know his business, but he has direct deposit and he goes, OK, that's four hundred and fifty thousand dollars in and he goes about his day.

You know, I don't think he's going. Well, I got 450, man. I got shorted. You know, 450.

Oh, man. Where's where's the two hundred dollars for lunch? You know, he ain't thinking about.

So you're telling me three years ago when he was playing, I know he still hasn't even officially declared retirement yet. Larry legend Fitzgerald was getting charged lunch and dinner if he wanted to take home food, is what you're saying. I don't know. I find it very hard to believe. I don't know. But who cares? They charge in this fifty three guys on a roster. There's another 20 guys just hanging around just in case and training can't put on another 50 dudes.

You're telling me about three players? Who cares? Well, but in all seriousness, now, if you are I mean, I don't I know head coaches on the NFL, even the amateur level, they're sleeping at these facilities more often than not during the season. So if that's the case, you know, they're going to these cafeterias at all lot hours.

What happens if a coach doesn't have the proper necessary identification on them? Like I don't. Well, the the food facilities, I don't believe stay. Oh, they don't stay open 24 seven.

Sure, they do. I'm sorry. Maybe not. Maybe not 24 seven. But like, you know, and Jerry, you've been at ESPN like when they're doing when they're doing this, we don't have it here because we're not as big of a an enterprise as ESPN.

We're huge, but not necessarily to that scale. ESPN, their cafeteria is open till one two a.m. in the morning because there's so many people working those overnight shifts. Yeah.

NFL NFL things. I'm almost certain ain't open at late, bro. I'm surprised to hear that 24 seven.

Hell, no, not 24 seven. But they are open. They are open at the crack of dawn in the morning. Correct. And they will close up later in the day post-dinner. And that's it.

Because here's the thing. You ain't encouraging your players to be there all freaking night. You want them to leave and rest that they it serves no purpose outside of here is breakfast, lunch, dinner.

You can eat any time you want. What do we what are we staffing up food for into one, two, three, four in the morning for the coaches who are here. But it's not but it's not the you and I both know it's not the players necessarily that are staying. That's my point. Who cares about the coaches. The coaches got to leave, too. Yeah, you're right.

And in all honesty, in all honesty, a lot of the coaches, they're not hanging out. I mean, that's a misnomer. They're not. They want them to leave.

They do. It's not about being a hermit. Like if you sticking around all that time. What are you doing? Do you know what you're doing? And so they're not. They're not. They're not doing that. The thing is, though, the Cardinals.

They should be ashamed of themselves. You charging players for food to take home. You're an NFL franchise or you just. Cheap.

You could be both. Cardinals suck. And then Jaguars figure out those rats.

It's the general sport brief show here on CBS Sports Radio eight five five two one two four CBS. Are you surprised by any of this? I mean, we got rats all over the world. Would you shop? There's more rats than humans, right? Would you say? I'd say that's a fairly accurate statement. Oh, God.

They come out pretty late. How many rats is there to like one human on Earth? You think? Well, listen, if you ride the one train up north, you're seeing about 10 rats per minute or one person. No, you're seeing what you're seeing more rats than per person. 100 percent. So it's like for every one person is 100 rats. It seems like that when you're on a subway platform by yourself. Yes.

I'm going to Google that. How many rats on Earth? Anyway, the Jaguars have rats. Let me know if you're surprised about the players having to pay for food in Arizona. Are you surprised by the plumbing issues in Washington? Are you surprised about the rats in Jacksonville? This is supposed to be the NFL.

I guess they got problems like everybody else. It's the JR Sport Brief Show. CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. Call in now at 855-212-4CBS.

I learn more from the college students than they learn from me. Anyway, it is the JR Sport Brief Show here on CBS Sports Radio. The NFL Players Association for the first time ever. They had their players basically complete a report card for all of the teams across the league. How do they treat their players? The amenities, the the family food. I mean, not the family food, the family facilities.

You know, things like daycare, flight accommodations, showers, recovery rooms, training staff, on and on and on and on. The Minnesota Vikings were number one. I'm not surprised. I was fortunate enough to have seen the Vikings new training facility in the summer of last year.

It is amazing to the surprise of no one. The Washington commanders are dead last. Just about everything sucks. And then there are some interesting exceptions amongst all of the teams. The Jacksonville Jaguars had a rat infestation infestation for a couple of weeks in the locker room in the Hamper's. Could you imagine finishing up a football game or practice and then just go into your locker and then just a rat runs by or runs out the hamper? I mean, am I in the NFL?

Am I? The Cardinals, the Arizona Cardinals are the only team in the NFL that charges you to take food home. They deduct it from your salary. And if you want to eat there in the off season, let's say you want to show up to put in some work in May.

If you want breakfast, lunch at the facility, you got to pay for that. The Bengals, they got no no plugs to charge in the wall. The Bengals are the only team that won't give you supplements.

This it just goes on and on and on. 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. Connor's calling from California. You're on CBS Sports Radio. What's up, Connor? Hey, brother. So this is my call. Gosh, I am pretty surprised about the Jaguars and the rats.

I didn't expect that one. It's the whole stadium. It's the whole stadium. Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah, they were not getting supplements. I never do that. So who is kind of a they were not getting supplements? Oh, yeah.

Well, I mean, the owner is a cheapskate. I mean, we knew that I had him on the top six, Mr. Brown. Thank you, Connor. Your phone sounds kind of blurry. I'm sorry, man.

Sorry about that. Patrick is calling from San Jose. You're on CBS Sports Radio. Hey, I'm a former employee for.

NFL sports team here in the Bay Area, I guess you could guess the name of it. Are they gone or are they still there? Still there.

Okay. I never heard of a team in the Bay Area, but go ahead. But the facility was great. Coaching staff and players did not have to pay at all for food. That's for breakfast, lunch, dinner. On a poor season and off season. But yeah, as an employee there.

I have to pay either. Because we're part of the staff. But Patrick, I have been and I have been in these places. People just walking and eating food like they have so much. They have so much food.

They don't know what to do with. And I was the thing. It's gourmet food made to order. Yes. Up notch.

Everything was great. There's a chef. Yeah, there's there's chefs back there. It's not like here's you can if you want one, but they will they will make you your food. These guys have diet plans.

The chefs are back there making the food. Just it's amazing. And you got the Arizona Cardinals out here. But they said they have the worst food and they're making you box it up and you got to pay for it.

What type of garbage is that? It's unbelievable. Yeah, Patrick. Okay.

Well, thank you for letting us know that some team in the Bay Area. Is the food good? Oh, it's delicious.

Good. They have hometown meals, too, from wherever you're from, whatever, you know. Now, do they close? They stop at a certain hour, though, right?

For the most part, yeah. They'll stop probably two hours after the last practice. Nine? Oh, so about six. Evening.

In the evening and then, you know, after you'll have some guys hanging around till probably 830. So and then you have coaching staff that may or may not stay on site. Right.

And then they got to get the guys are back there early in the morning for all the everybody who gets there early, which they am. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, thank you, Pat.

Earlier. And the other one would be I mean, the employees. I know. I know we would have to check who scanned. They had their they would use their I.D.

to pay. But I'm not the not the players or coaching staff or any of that. So. Well, thank you, Patrick. Appreciate you, man. Appreciate you. Thank you.

No doubt. Jay is calling from Boston. What's up, Jay? Yo, what up, Jay? I want to call you doing a good job, as always, you and chef.

And I was just another about I know. I think Young Jesus is going to be in Atlanta on Sunday. You're going to go to like he's going to set up who we have with him. Yes.

He is a lot of people in. Yeah, it's what is it? The something the streets tour. Yeah. I was just on my Facebook and I was seeing a post and it looks like a good concert.

He shut everything down over there. I was going to ask you in Boston what you weren't about the concert down here for. Because I was just I was going to my Facebook and then I saw I saw Jay, of course. And then I saw Jeezy.

I saw the young Jesus who was putting posts on, you know, how you get the stories up. I said, oh, maybe they are going to be going there. Am I going to that concert on Sunday?

Probably not. No, no. And I just want to give a shout out to Boston for we got the best basketball team, the best hockey team, Jay Tame going through all the records. Well, they got the Boston Celtics. Oh, my God. Thank you, Jay.

The Boston Celtics, they got booed off the court tonight, but they'll be OK. All right. Thank you, Jay. All right. Peace out, bro.

No doubt. Yeah, I'm not going to the what they call a concert. Something about the streets concert. I'm not nope. I'm not I'm not going there on Sunday. Legends of the streets.

Yeah, who is it? I we were talking about it at the arena tonight, like you coming back to the arena on Sunday to see legends of the streets. No, no, no. Thank you. Hey, Marco, you want to see Jeezy? No, I'm good.

Thanks. Hey, Shep, you want to see Jeezy? Is Ashanti there? Hey, relax. Chill out.

That could be a range, Shep. You kidding me? What?

You could really introduce me to Ashanti? I'm trying to think. Hold on. Hold on.

JR, the answer is no. Don't do this. Don't do it.

Do it. I would never embarrass you like that. Embarrass me?

What are you talking about? Well, by now you're making me afraid. No, no, JR, I would be the I would be the utmost gentleman. I've always I've always said that my future. So I don't know her romantic status, but I've always said that my future wife will be introduced to me by a friend.

It's not supposed to be on the old, you know, the new habit, which is Ashanti, bro. I've never believed that any woman is out of any man's league. I believe that is a misnomer. I didn't say that. OK, good. You know, you're closer. She's from Long Island.

I would love to meet Ashanti. Just saying. OK. I appreciate that. OK. OK. Maybe one maybe one day. Thank you.

I can I can tell you're kind of getting behind this a little bit. I don't know. I think I'm going the other direction.

That's a lot. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here on CBS Sports Radio, where none of us are going to the legends of the street concert here in Atlanta on Sunday. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. First of all, I just want to say I've been listening to your show for the last few months and I really enjoy listening to you speak. So thanks for taking my call. Call in now at eight five five two one two four CBS.

It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. We were going to talk about this Daniel Jones guy asking for forty five million dollars. But I guess you got to start somewhere, right? Tell him you want forty five settle for forty.

I'm not mad at Daniel Jones. Go get your money, man. We know you ain't worth that much.

But if somebody is going to give it to you, then take it. Not that bad. Eight five five two one two four CBS. Let's get some some of your calls before we got a roll out.

Bob is calling from California. You're on the JR Sport Brief Show. JR, how are you doing? I'm amazing. How are you?

All right. Well, you know, a lot of times I want to talk about these billionaires for a minute. A lot of times when they go to start a business, the municipality where they're going to set it up, we'll give them the land for free. Sometimes they'll build the building for them for free. And then they'll get subsidies and tax breaks for the next 10 years.

Correct. And then in the process of running their business, they'll use the infrastructure more than any individual citizen would. And yet at the same time, they don't want to pay anything. And these guys have been writing for free for too long. You know, and if they don't like doing business in this country, go to Russia. And the first thing Putin will do is take half of what they have and they'll like it or he'll throw him in prison for 20 years and take everything. Or they can go to China and she'll just take their business and all our intellectual property from giving 10 cents on the dollar.

And they don't like that set of education camp. So thank you, Bob. Yeah, it's we're getting we're all getting ripped off by these people. The real minimum wage in terms of what dollars will buy in this country right now is twenty seven fifty an hour. The real wage to have access to the middle class standard of living, which is this average is forty five dollars. An hour.

And how many people make those wages? Not at all. Not very many. Yeah. The Bob. Thank you. You bet.

Appreciate it. Thank you, Bob. How about that? Eight five five two one two four CBS.

Tony's calling from Toronto. In regards to the rat populations in these places, it's poor sanitation. That's all it is. That's disgusting. In terms of the athletes, the players, you said in Arizona having to pay for their their lunch.

Good. They should all be paying when you're making twenty, thirty, forty, fifty million dollars. In fact, they double because the men and women that work in these factories that have kids put through college and mortgages to pay. Do they get free meals where they work?

No. So why that is privileged. That is that's that is irrelevant for the business that they are in. When you are in a business where you are physically a commodity and you need to be fueled with food, with water, with energy, when that is your business and they are making money off of you, it is commonplace in a business that you that that when you have a talent that they provide you with what you need to perform that talent.

There's a reason why every NFL team is providing everybody with food and that there's only one dumbass team that is not. When I walk into CBS Sports Radio, the studio, you know what I don't have to bring to perform my talent. I don't have to bring a board. I don't have to bring a microphone.

I don't have to do that. You know what? And this is bad for comparison's sake. And it's unfortunate that some teachers do.

Teachers should not have to bring in pencils and equipment, but they do. When you work somewhere and you work for a large company or an entity. And you have a talent.

They provide you with it so you can perform the best of your abilities. It's not a comparison game about what anybody else is doing. I'm sorry.

That is one of the laziest things ever. Well, in the NFL. And by the way, everybody in the NFL ain't making 30 and 40 and 50 million dollars.

So the people in the fact, I'm sorry. OK. I ain't in the NFL. I ain't clocking 40 and 30 and 50 million dollars. There's somebody listening right now in a factory and I understand it's a hard knock life, but we can't just go around comparing everything to everything. Man, well, the NFL players should pay for their lunch or they shouldn't pay for their lunch.

Think about the you think about the sheiks and the sultans. Somebody's getting fed grapes on, you know, a million thread count bed right now. That's their life, not mine. Not a lazy thing to do.

Talk about the NFL. They should pay for their lunch for what? I never seen a mechanic go to work and they go, hey, boss, do you have. You got gloves, so I could, you know, maybe do the work, man, go outside, buy on gloves. Hey, I'm going to be fixing these cars. You don't you don't have tools for me in the service department. No, man.

Go down the block and come back with your own tools. Fix that car. An NFL player. His body is the commodity. Hey, man, come in here. We need you to hit that guy. But I got to. Got to power my body. I got to put some energy in it. You know, fruits, vegetables can then go go down the block and get it or pay for it.

It's right there at the vending machine. What type of dumbass logic is that? There's a reason why only one team is charging its players to eat.

It's because that team is a dumbass team. Hello to the Arizona Cardinals. Hey, shop. It's been a cool week hanging out with you, man. It always is a pleasure, JR.

I will be here with a mic provided for me by CBS Sports Radio as a board as well. I know. How about that? They give us something. How about that?

They do. Listen, folks, it's time for me to shut up any second now. My microphone will be turned off. There will be fancy music that will turn on. I was going to say, but I'll be turned out.

But that's not appropriate. I'm going to leave. I'll be back at 10 p.m. Eastern. 7 Pacific on Monday. Make sure you listen to Shep. OK?

Me? If you live in New York or you don't have to, I'm going to be on WFAN New York City tomorrow afternoon. 1 p.m. Eastern time. I'm going to tell everybody to relax about the damn New York Knicks, OK?
