The sad reality of office parties today. The make believe war on Christmas is dumbfounding. Impeachment blue balls. Gerrit Cole’s first day on the job & baseball dreams on a 12 degree morning.

Last minute Christmas shopping is for the birds & hitting the gift jackpot. The perks of yesterday’s delayed commute. The real victims of the new torture toilet. Holding onto vices of the past. Happy birthday to Keith Richards.

Drew Brees’ setting more records in prime time. Leaning on cancel culture as your go to punch line. Facebook, the information pirates. Traffic ruins the show.

The price you pay for betting the Eagles. Eli’s farewell to the Meadowlands. Planning for the draft again. The Bills punch their ticket to January football. Rangers & DBacks grab their aces. Discussion of Petty Woman (starts @ 18:00 if you want to skip ahead) upon my first viewing & my plans for the remake.

First time I’ve ever regretted all my picks in the middle of recording. The 2019 crash & burn is hanging over my head like impending doom. RIP Danny Aiello.

Sob story from corporate. The Ravens continue to roll. Weed in the MLB. Mob Town, a David Arquette mafia epic? A little Rodney.

The boring side of sports writing & a celebration of Frank Sinatra on his 104th birthday.

Officially uncancelling “Baby, it’s Cold Outside.” How much is $324 million? Gerrit Cole takes the Yankees from contender to favorite. Didi Gregorious’ short, stellar tenure in pinstripes.

Eli turns back the clock for a couple minutes...does it mean anything? Pat Shurmur: Born Loser. The Stephen Strasburg deal is a big win for Scott Boras and the balancing act Brian Cashman has to perform in Gerrit Cole negotiations.

One Way kicking off the week breaking down Fred Claus. Ryan Reynolds “saves” the Peleton girl but at what cost? Questioning why selective outrage sat this ad out. Kansas City’s good fortune in New England & San Francisco looks the part.
