" Is there a better this is so self evident. There is a linesman in question is not a better holiday no. No there's it is the single best holiday. A ball the best there's no well there's pressure probably on the people have and do the cooking and I do helped by the way. -- argument that we start tonight on some stuff. There's pressure there but but for the most part. Pressures gift giving the other is getting where -- Golan which is a pain in the rear end for everybody today. And sit around and eat sleep and yet and watch football games legal play in the backyard to get enough people coming over the house and."
" Well I just want to go back and says -- that you do up with a cooking I get the sense that. Help with the cooking in the same way it will -- helped Chicago Bulls went champ no no no -- and there are not true dirt biking and I get it went a little something there. Maybe a key contribution here. You know two or three games out I. Two for instance I'm in charge of the stuff. Which comic tonight that's important and and it's mine and she does not come right she doesn't even suggesting angry it's. So so that inference in Oklahoma you've been watching you Rachel break absolutely I -- Rachel -- on food network. Now reiterated -- have any kind of connection to. -- did W yeah. She's still Los Angeles person person for her in element that can go out here -- not listed as -- After a lot you can only -- her for about. About 45 seconds before the start on the radio I don't have time to -- the recipes and animal times that took me longer. I mean the abbreviations for everything to lynch how in the heck yeah multi hit an -- that you let him for a lot. I I admit I like -- a dealer rent is just a little bit more no more extra virgin oh oh. The deal that's right that's right that's pretty easy OO moderate -- she wouldn't take its time to print outs extra virgin no EVO oh. Yeah an eagle Edwards extra virgin with a straight face said he fell right now which."
" By the way and I'll start your day off -- day before Thanksgiving off with some good news. If Matt Light and or Channing Crowder get suspended. And likely they won't it won't happen until next week Adam -- after blogging on nfl.com just few minutes ago. Said that. No news is good news and NFL official confirmed the league would not issue any rulings today. In ideal -- to -- suspensions if suspensions don't come today. Excuse me yesterday that that is they will they will now wait until the next week if they come all. Soul when isn't he said the same thing on DNC yet there will be no but but there will be no suspensions at all this week. And rookies of the opinion there won't be any anyway but it absolutely would not happen this week I -- that there were some people -- and had -- well he gets suspended. He appeals the suspension and he plays while the populist play out NFL doesn't play those games. I mean if you appeal your suspension today you got a hearing before the week is out generally speaking if -- if you're going to appeal a suspension."
" I don't know I mean how do you explain. Matt Jones. Different sort of of the of the yeah now does does but there was a legal proceeding involved they talk about it but it still a suspension he appealed. And he's still he's playing right because of of the legal issues I mean that's where that's where his appeal got held up. Because of impending legal and that I have -- legal problems you have a chance of right appealing -- if you don't have legal problems that the leagues as a guy like that hit with Michael yet it's and you appeal is okay. Nomar. Basically I may have -- tomorrow but it will be within the next a couple of days. He'll play this weekend Matt Light will play this week and I'll go further Yvenson at all long. Bargains and and this week next week any other week -- for that not for that slot I'm."
" Glad you have some some sources who are close to the commissioner because maybe I don't have the same sources I'm not so confident that. He -- not come out of this thing though without a suspension I'm not sure. I mean it it's it's 5050 -- I can see. -- you look at you look at the tapes of that game. And and -- Roger Goodell and he's a little. He's a little more sensitive than. Previous commissioners -- team wash in the NFL -- first lodging wash he's going to make buddy the initial well but but Roger Goodell has some say in this I could say because I think -- of course he does."
" I it it it is not the way the NFL portrays it. That that gene Washington he supposedly the guy conducting the investigation. He makes the rolling now if we fuel -- you gotta go talk to the commissioner and I assume gene Washington sitting in the room when you do that."
" But I I can't imagine. They've gene Washington decided -- suspend this guy for eight games that the commissioner. Doesn't have any say or board that's not run by the commotion."
" again that. An eight game suspension you're talking about substance abuse nobody gets -- and not yet not let things gene -- to amend that don't don't take an item."
" I'm just saying if if you happen to go out in new. Like a lot of players do back then they without getting suspended for example what time of the Steelers. Browns game Brian Sipe was picked up off the ground and slammed. Two of the that would be eighteen games and only call a day and if that happened today guy might be suspended for. Five. And I don't think if you pick up a player like Alou to dive for the Packers to get it to Jim McMahon. Packers Bears back in the day. Just gratuities. And nothing to do what the play he just decided that might take Jim McMahon out. Picked him up and the room to the ground now I can't remember in this is and but this is during the championship seasons in his 1985. I don't know he was suspended or not. But it's not like that happens today compete with the completely different era again I would be suspended for multiple games of it that way multiple wouldn't be one game suspension."
" I'd be curious and and maybe we can Google lists and I sort of attempting it is legal long term somebody. I you know what I'm curious about is. Setting aside substance abuse legal entanglements suspensions. Which are longer obviously. What's the longest suspension for an on field. Infraction like you said the body slamming Brian sites that sort of thing you know I am and I am I wonder if we come up with a list of this sort of thing and I'm working on it here and I'm sure burgers working on in there I'm curious what the longest suspension is for an on field infraction I bet to would be the max."
" Charles Maarten thank you very much that the name oh. Good for you got a burger urging. It is the collaborative it would be search engine. We're color with the public gogel. Right the group that -- either one. While now now CC which confined for Charles Barton put my list of suspensions for on field infractions with a child in 1985. When he did it according to year search -- 86. In and the abuse that span but. Pretty brutal. Okay suspended for two games and he was ejected from the game and I would bet that is the longest. On -- I have infraction if that happened today in my before. Just because it's different to different. About it -- some pretty bad stop I -- that here earlier this year on now. On was it Boldon who was yeah."
" Okay but see that is not you can go both ways and advocates they would have to play it it. This was within that within the flow of the game. Maybe Vlad but this helmet he still has not sure he did anything dirty on that. Anquan Boldin went down and made it look a lot worse than it was it was a bad hit but it -- it always looks worse from the guy doesn't get up obviously. Out for like five Charles Martin this was not one of those is not a gray area play this is not borderline -- I -- I agree with that the ball was thrown Jim McManus standing there Charles Martin picks them up. Throws and a so if that happened today. With all of the attention we even more attention on NFL today that you had 22 years ago a lot more people. Throwing their opinions out there until -- two years ago and I think. A more sensitive. Top -- top office. In New York that you had 22 years ago so all those people all those things together I think. I think 86 may have been the last year of Pete Rose -- commissioner ship that's even a word -- make it up but it's not. And then I think Tagliabue took over an 87 as there was a strike so. I don't know Pete repeat Roosevelt and Roger Goodell is a long way. Beat."
" Yeah we've always goes a long way from Pete Rose we've always felt Roger Goodell was trying to be news Sharon yeah and yes I still would be curious as Mike S is. As bad as something you do on the field is whatever it is. People come up with with the number force I'm sure but I'm at -- match you'd ever again. I I I I would be surprised if we could find anything that players on on the field. It has now or ever again got more than two. Albert -- worth. Five games -- get five that was select stepping on. More than twice a month of the previous longest suspension for flagrant unnecessary roughness of the previous longest was too. And Haynes worth it said more than twice the -- August -- so Haynes worth asthma I'm well we came up with their run up the -- we came."
" Topping another player's head the Tennessee Titans this is -- from the story October 2 2006. By stopping and other players -- the Tennessee Titans defensive tackle not only disgusted himself. He also drew a five game suspension the longest for on field behavior in NFL history so. Definitely well there's one right -- we got off an attentive but yes."
" And I had faith that somebody. So the two was the second longest other than the -- while they got. I had faith that somebody with fingers and a and a computer screen in front it was going to be able find forest and their -- And there you guy's name is -- I I'm appreciative of the fact. On thankful for many many things that are real -- in my life as you are but I'm appreciative of the fact that we finally have sports to watch tonight. As a couple nights enrolled me. You know an exciting Monday Night Football game but you know you don't really care that much. I don't know Celtics you know early on and Garcia or had fantasy football riding monitor something and and of course that's very important so I'm I'm glad that we get games tonight that matter. To local sports fans Bruins are in Buffalo to take on the Sabres trying to extend their streak Celtics are at home tonight at TD BankNorth garden against Golden State."
" You know. Talking about sports on TV one of the things that was on last night had not been -- of Boston. Of the Cavaliers in New York. Playing the next and there are so much talk about 2010. And I can't believe this it hit -- before. We talking about 2002 in the Knicks made a big trade finally went through yesterday after some medical questions. With the -- a little part probably half against the big question but it went through no problems so. The Knicks are clearly trying to be players bird 2010 when Dwyane Wade is out there and LeBron James is -- there and Chris Bosh in. Steve Nash although to be 75 years old at the -- a lot of guys who who might be available. Which we haven't talked about. Could be players in 2002 and the Celtics. The Boston Celtics YLS best they can beat."
" Ray Allen is the first of the contract that expires right of the the way the three are staggered yes they could be. Twenty million dollars under the cap in 2000."
" Probably one of two LeBron while -- well but think about this. Now this is this is that a tough situation and I don't know if you want to do it Ray Allen is off the books. So yours Sammy doesn't get re signed Eric and it probably -- so. -- area off the books and I have a decision. Think about this you were Rajon Rondo fans. If you don't go long term with Rajon Rondo. You can have some space. You can say. Well we're not going to resign -- but we're going to sign LeBron James."
" I'm going to match Rondell I love Rondo what happens. I love Rondo. No. -- but there is there is no one on the planet who wouldn't start the car in at right down on typically -- On line now lovers -- Rondo is doing about it yell at it and I -- be everybody would. Was. --"
" You know -- you'd have to do you'd have to have a promise. From LeBron James and forget about July 1 2010 need to to have a promise on. March 1 2010 and a so if we do this and just get -- commitment and clear -- this -- noticed you're -- Boston -- Can you sign this."
" And nobody has nobody to -- and Alex. I yeah I want to sign it right now and what she did you have your video testimony that -- What changed the date on the on the VCR. On the little video recorded Nolan will know when we actually -- says well."
" Look at it probably wouldn't be -- a pipe dream. LeBron James who will probably go somewhere else but. You are going to be in position if you're if you're this -- it's gonna be in position get a guy. Who can help you ought to be LeBron James but it could be let's say if Dwyane Wade let's say it's Joe Johnson. You gotta find yourself with a little money -- span. And 2010 and if you continue to be. An excellent team. You may not happen to have as much as somebody else because maybe one of these players is going to say. I want to play for that. And you know it's not like they're playing for three million dollars a season five million it's maybe the difference of seventeen here and nineteen somewhere else."
" Well let me ask -- a question in and Jerry asked earlier this morning and I've always wondered this. Why do we think LeBron has to be in the and I mean you and me and saying basketball fans think was going to be in New York. I mean do you think there's a marketing opportunity that he won't get. If Pete is playing it -- in Cleveland if -- in you know Paris. He's going to get it I mean. Madison avenue yeah -- go to Madison avenue Madison avenue will go to him right so."
" That is an hour in Madison avenue already has come up anything Cleveland and we know all who LeBron James commercial. I'd say we we've seen what we know about LeBron James doesn't matter where he plays now he might say to himself or his agent might say. Think about the opportunities that you've gotten in Cleveland -- well all northeast Ohio that's nothing. Well you can double those opportunities are triple those opportunities when you're right here in New York."
" I disagree with guardado and not a -- now and I know that thinking only what. Michael Jordan it would no matter where he played. He was going to be the biggest super mean Tiger Woods you know has a certain worldwide cachet LeBron isn't. Approaching that category as well he can play in. He can play in Orlando and it won't matter he can play in in Nashville and it won't matter Memphis -- it's a -- it won't matter. Wherever he is. He'll be the -- of the basketball. Marketing universe because of who he has and and and what he's already become so this idea. That that he's got to go to New York just never made any sense to me."
" We were talking about this little bit on Celtics now on tonight's 6 PM now where's that good anyway. During our panel to sell Hollywood's. You know Christmas and Sports Illustrated. -- and few yeah very very good job aside does a great job and you know quick prospectus panel Marty don't. We're talking -- this -- guys are. Not a Catholic. Off the air. Think about this what is the last time if create. What to a -- whether it. In the NBA. And hockey shortly go to Detroit all the time right in hockey. Might feel in basketball -- last time. You had a big free agent said I'm going to Chicago. I'm going to New York I'm going to Boston hey Kevin Garnett was traded here Ray Allen was traded here. So. Ben Wallace was not a -- have been James has been while with the mayor and go to a a free agent even go to Detroit -- it. Those guys want to go to Miami -- they want to go to Phoenix they want to go to LA. Orlando even. Houston. I can't think about a guy a free agent who has gone to a cold weather city."
" By the way yen and I I don't this -- set I also think that. From the players perspective -- agent's perspective. Their family's perspective. Totally overrated. You know this -- want to go to Phoenix I want to go to Miami. You know in the wintertime your little busy. In any in my Atlanta forget about a man to another city wintertime your little busy. And in the -- you go wherever you hit damn well want to with the money you make you can have a house wherever you want so this idea they liked."
" But it's not that that it's too cold I'm just saying they'd like certain spot NBA players like. They loved one of mine. And I'm going to Phoenix they'll have gone LA so it's just. I want this to -- my my home base and a lot of guys you're right you can live wherever you want a lot of guys in the offseason live in Atlanta. In Miami. In Orlando. In Los Angeles I live in LA."
" Why are those teams not better. Miami Phoenix why haven't they won more championships. Orlando. LA the Lakers we are obviously know what they've done you know in their lifetime I haven't Clippers gotten better. All those years of having a team in in in Los Angeles is it because when you play for the Clippers -- really -- at -- come -- but wired wired the warm weather teams not the dominant teams in the NBA given and I agree with you -- the better."
" Because there are there aren't a lot of team to have does that cap space. To. Accommodate these free nights -- that it didn't happen that often in other words. This this big 2010 thing is overrated already it's already 2008 were over -- 2010. Because what will happen some guys want to stay with their teams. It's like there's going to be this this. Over saturation. Of a free agent doctor on the market in you know Dwyane Wade is now apparent LeBron is out here these guys some of these guys are going to -- up at their franchises. In there won't be a lot of crime free agent that's my prediction. That that's number one particular teams just have signed Richard going to get a yet to trade for that I could just sit there with a -- cash and say. On the Boston Celtics. Or or on the New York Knicks come to me."
" You know while you were talking or your shoulder from ESPN is on the monitor. And -- two on the whole the brawn back to New York thing and they just had a full page graphic up about potential free agents. In 2010. And it got Ray Allen analysts have Paul Pierce on the list. I don't think that's right and I just looked up his contract. Allen expires after. 20092010. -- he's one of those guys pierce expires after 20102011. That year he's making 21000513. 1521. Dollars. And Kevin Garnett is expiring after 20112012. Right. I I just as you were talking -- look -- up over your shoulder and look at Alan okay Chris Bosh -- partners it's our audience is none of those guys. That's not possible that the worldwide leader made a mistake as it. Yes I -- that last set EM are EM odds Aaron Paul Pierce."
" What are using sarcasm are -- so today. You know I mean there there's so many things to be thankful."
" And you have -- has brought sarcasm to the table want to fight and I won't -- You'd be rolled around in the dirt punching each other in the know who would you who would you like to give gobble to today you with a moment. Probable Q navy. And Jimmie for every time -- but. If you added it is -- They dale this is probably a show that a lot of people look forward to here after years when -- most popular celebrity tournament."

" Elton Brand. To Philadelphia and that's -- let's go when Gilbert Arenas to Washington. Where Gilbert Arenas went to Washington. He was not Gilbert Arenas. "
