I'm one of those people who will happily eat steak at eggs any time of the day. Breakfast, dinner, it's technically midnight, but I'm still hungry. Doesn't matter. There's just something unbeatable about a good steak hitting a hot pan. That immediate sizzle, the smell filling the kitchen, and then topping it with a fried egg, where the yolk is deep yellow, and just barely runny, unreal, pure protein having. That's also why I love having Omaha steaks on hand. The steaks are incredibly tender, super flavorful, and cook evenly, whether I'm searing them on the stove top, or throwing them on the grill. It's that steakhouse quality bite at home. Omaha steaks has everything from their fan favorite filet mignon. Yes, the USDA certified tender one, to burgers, chicken, pork, seafood, and even fully cook comfort meals, like beef pot roast, or meat lovers lasagna.

Jason Tatum expected to return. He is. They're still keeping us on our toes about this. He is questionable. He is questionable. Seven o'clock ESPN game against Cooper Flag and Dallas. And as a great texture pointed out earlier, we'll scale even no Jason Tatum's out there with us. Cooper Flag story. Where's the game against tonight? Is he doing the call? Oh, it's ESPN. Well, sometimes it's a double-leg. Is it both? I don't know. But look, one way or the other, Skal's not thrilled that Cooper Flag night is interrupted by Jason Tatum's return. If you heard him in the first matchup in Dallas, and I did, it was gross. The stories he wanted to share. Just the amount of Cooper Flag when he was 15 stories was just too much. But the official Sports Booker and Island Rich Keefe pick of the week is Celtics cover the number,
which at last check was 15 and a half. I am going over 12 and a half points, one and a half threes, two and a half assists. Get in there. Because that number's going up. Yeah, that number's going up. The point. It's a pretty juicy one, so I'm very excited about it. I don't know how they can let it go, but I would love it. Yeah. That's one small step for man. One by a bag. Boston Bruins Action. It did not go great for him last night, John. No. They were getting smacked around pretty good. Final score six to three in Nashville. They are back on the ice tomorrow at home, against Washington at noon 30. Will the roster be intact? Well, it is still the trade deadline. Yeah. It's going on right now. I'm not going to be active.

Oh, take that, Mavs. Available. I told you this. You said, will there be an up there? Okay. Well, yes, seriously. Okay, good. I'm actually happy they didn't wait. Look, credit to the Celtics. Tatum and everybody else. They didn't wait until five o'clock when the injured report came out. We all knew he was coming back. It was obvious he's coming back. Now he's back. Yeah. According to Nick. Are we just taking Celtics to their account? We're just taking Nick at his word. I'm sure they reported about that. I don't feel good about that. Celtics to their account. Up there. Jason Tatum. Available. Let me confirm Nick's report. That Jason Tatum is available. You have it now? Yeah, yeah. I got it. I got it in my report. Confirmed. Yeah, yeah. Good.

No Why I feel this way Oh And what I'm still
If you could only see Her eyes can be when she says When she says grab bag Tonic not in the bracket first four out yeah, they're right there I think they were first four out. Yeah, yeah, people are dick by tal piss. Yeah, you get in. How's there not room for tonic? Yeah, you saw them. They're screaming about it for sure real mad at the committee real mad no tonic Uh, jino smith gonna be released by the raiders so that jino smith experience does not seem to be One that's gonna stick. Yeah, so he's available So add that to the list of quarterbacks. It started last year that are gonna be looking for new jobs You have like jino smith got Kirk cousins. You got to a tag of my holocaust see the two or report So they might have to attach a first round pick to two. I just to get rid of them. Yeah, that's like Brock Osweiler Although, that was a second round. I think they attached. Yeah, they had to do the same thing. Yeah, like nobody nobody wants this guy What what on earth do we do
The best part of Jones and Keith is grab bag at 130 Putting the x rated into x these guys are stupid has Bob Ryan tweeted Yeah, musta. Uh, yeah, yep So uh he did he responded to somebody who tweeted out the following the NBA has absolutely no aura I just watched the game for five minutes dude comes up the court and carries the ball three times passes next dude travels It looks like a low energy version of Harlem Globetrotters without the entertainment or tricks. It's not even basketball Bob Ryan responded what he say five minutes is not what I would call a good sample size sick Greg bro Wow in your face. Yeah, it's like stink That is Anyway, so that was this burnback all around 130
He run Jones and keep so I guess that's why it's time for grab bag What do you say we find out who the best NBA performer was from last night? Was I already know calling sexton oh 30 points. Five assists Kellell where oh 16 and 11 Nikola yogic baby 28 12 and 13 precious akua a chua a chua 29 and 12 or Victor Wemba Yama 38 and 16. Yeah, you got to go with him. It was over the pistons too. So I'd go Wemba good one by Wemba It's time for Jones and kiefs random Phillips Let's panic baseball player of the day All right, let's find out who the player was shall we he was a one-time all-star He finished seventh in the rookie of the year whilst finishing eighth in the psi young in the same year
Oh, wow that makes any sense He was a right-handed pitcher a lefty stick Okay, who played seven big league seasons. That's a hint it is no doubt no doubt a hint Uh broken to the majors got those psi young and rookie votes in 2006 Followed up with an all-star season in oh seven and then hung up the spike seven after the 2012 season he played four The Dodgers braves red socks brewers and snakes. So I was gonna guess like Chen Ming Wang But he was okay wasn't he Yankee giving the teams again? What year in Boston? Yeah, exactly. All right one second Let me just tell you this he made 11.2 million dollars and for the red socks. It was the oh nine season Where out of the pen In fact all out of the pen He went three and three with two saves Rookie year you had 24 saves his all-star area 39 saves 30 or 18. I remember this guy, which I got a thing his name though sound like no, no, no
Uh His nick name Sito is that it? Sito yeah, what was his first name? It's a Kashi Takashi Takashi Sito six nine nick name Sammy. Yeah. Oh, yeah nice He's a good get for them you had a bunch of saves for a couple years But he's like old in a long line of closures that you could look at him in three years had like 30 plus saves And then we're like done. Yeah, I'm sure he reached out to Mani about wearing number 24. Oh really? I think that was it's like hey, but what do you think? He did wear 24 of the red socks job Bill You're like that. He did oh nine. I like it. Yeah, cuz he must have played with him with it was he a teammate of his with the Dodgers No, I think just cuz that was his number before he's like I'll take a shot and ask me if I can wear it. Nice Yeah, I remember I remember being pretty excited when they signed him trade-in form whatever it was and then I feel like they never used him in like No, you're like safe. Don't like ever in a high-level spot like not even like Eighth inning when they were ahead setting up it was like if they're down two runs in the seventh they use that guy He used to be really good while they use this guy one year one point five million dollar contract. Yeah
He's in and out. Okay random ball player. I didn't like that each and every Friday here on Jones and keep we spent a lot of time talking about Jason Tatum today if you hadn't heard the news he is officially back According to the Celtics. Oh, they also have another tweet. You see this no it's uh, it is a meme if you will it is JT it's Tatum in the air belly bumping Peyton Pritchard Yeah, and it says JT you know for Tatum and then Pritchard is us because he's like kind of hugging them too Pritchard yeah, so he's like oh, yeah, there's like a logging in there was like a little bear hug going on there too. I like it Where to go? I think he's starting we don't know the answer on that yet. Uh, cash those overs, but I would imagine that's what it's gonna be Uh, by the way, uh-huh still time to vote in the Jones and Keith 1990 slash early 2000s heavy metal new metal grunge alternative pop punk brought butt rock and rock bands bracket.
