Case Keenum hadn’t started an NFL game in 1,009 days. Monday night he beat the Eagles 27-7, then walked back onto the field so his daughter could run into his arms. We think that’s the real story, and it turned into a whole show about the moments when you find out you’ve still got it. Listeners called in with theirs, including an Alaska cop who kept pace with a K9 unit on a felony pursuit at 43.
On the baseball side, Aaron Judge is off the Yankees wild card roster, and Aaron Boone went with a righty-heavy lineup for Game 1 against Boston that left Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the bench. Rich thinks that’s analytics gone too far. Covino calls it depth. Rich also dug up a stat you probably didn’t know: the White Sox and Cubs have never won playoff games on the same day.
We close on Tyler Wade, who retired after nine years in the big leagues and still got headlined as Alix Earle’s ex. Covino thinks that’s disrespectful, and not everyone in the studio agrees.
