Is ARod an NBA owner now? Jerry Jones is back at it again. Back on radio. Back making up excuses. The Athletics are installing grass at Sutter Health Park.

The Jets got embarrassed again. Horrible. Who will Aaron Rodgers blame now? The Giants benched Daniel Jones. He was not happy. Does it matter? The Eagles and Saquon crushed them.

Clase blows another save! Weaver blows a save! Guardians steal a game! The Dodgers are too good. Too much firepower on offense. The bullpen is shutting down the Mets batter. It’s ugly out there! So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Knicks new jersey patch deal with Abu Dhabi and somehow the new location of the Sphere being in the UAE. HAHAHA! Review: Deadpool & Wolverine. NPPOD. Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers have a problem. His knee is bad. Has missed so many game because of it. We were told it was all fine and now he’s out indefinitely. Not good for Steve Ballmer and the new Intuit Dome! Why are the Steelers benching Justin Fields for Russell Wilson? What’s the point of breaking up the 4-2 team?

The Dodgers are a juggernaut. NPPOD. Is Jerry Reinsdorf finally selling the White Sox? Is this a Christmas miracle for the fans in Chicago? What about that lucrative RSN he launched? Review: A River Runs Through It. What if you could have insurance taken out on a player’s bad performance? Not just if they are hurt and can’t perform. Would you do it? Now you can!

Today’s word of the day is ‘reunited’ as in reunited and it feels so good as in Aaron Rodgers as in Davante Adams as in Green Bay as in New York. It happened. The Jets did it. Another buddy of Rodgers. The Browns have traded Amari Cooper to the Bills. I thought they wanted to win? I thought they were all in on Deshaun Watson? What now? The Yankees took a 2-0 lead on the Guardians yesterday. Is this series over? Is it done? Do the Guardians have enough? Judge homered, is he about to get hot? NPPOD. What are the Rays going to do in Tampa? Will they play in Tampa? Is Tropicana Field going to be ready? Review: Peak Season. Jerry Jones is mad, but he says he’s not mad, but he’s for sure mad.

Today’s word of the day is ‘preparation’ as Jets as in Bills as in Yankees as in Mets as New York as in prepared to win as in prepared to lose. We start with Jets because of course we would. Did it all change when Saleh was fired? Nope! Embarrassing loss at home to the Bills. The Mets tied up the series against the Dodgers! Vientos slam! Lindor leadoff homer! Scoreless streak ends! Now it’s back to CitiField. The Yankees took Game 1 vs the Guardians and it was a passed ball fest. Was it the yips from the Guardians pitcher? Why is Deshaun Watson the QB for the Cleveland Browns still? Why are they doing this? Just pay him the money, but bench him. Review: Jailbreak – Love on the Run. NPPOD. Tua Tagovailoa may be returning to play soon. He can come back in a few weeks. Mike McDaniel said he expects a return, but should we? So You Wanna Talk to Samson!?

The Dallas Cowboys got demolished in Jerry World on Jerry’s birthday! But! He said that Mike McCarthy is not getting fired right now. Review: Slow Horses.
