officially listed as doubtful for the game this sunday against the texans. i can tell you and i've been telling you, trey lance. is going to start at quarterback comes sunday. the 49ers little gamesmanship all week. and, of course, maybe in the back of their minds holding out hope that maybe jimmy jeez, mangled thumb would somehow magically heal in time. they'd like his experience in a huge game like this. that was a long shot trey lance to looking, fresh faced and confident. in his second nfl start that is not official. but he's ready for it seems from a health standpoint, i think i feel probably the most healthy i felt since i've been here. um yeah, i mean, getting more reps getting to see things like how jimmy prepares in a short week. you know, last thursday, um things like that. that would have been really hard for me just as a rookie with no vets in the room. i think those things have helped me a time this year. meanwhile in the uae

bother because we all know alabama is going to win it all again college football playoffs starting today, the early game number one bama against previously undefeated cincinnati not for a millisecond did they appear capable of beating obama. it is bryce young mr heisman trophy adroitly, avoiding pressure to brian robinson jr at a huge game 23 yard pickup there and by the way, junior had 204 yards receiving that's obama. ballgame records drive continues , mr heisman to corey brooks, this time 44 yard touchdown 17 3 bama in control, flip it on forward to the fourth quarter, 17 6. and finding camp looked too young. one of his three touchdown passes 27 6 final spoiler alert. bama is going to play georgia in the championship game, michigan nowhere near

capable of beating the bulldogs of georgia. alright i think 2022 is going to be an exhilarating time for all warrior fans and the team basically has an attitude of if you think we're really good. now wait until clay thompson comes back. and that day is getting closer and closer fact possibly less than two weeks. he was with the team last night in denver, and you know by now, of course, that game was postponed. with the nuggets, but they did get a practice in here is clay working out fully? he is missed nearly two years with the knee and achilles injuries play with the cave supremely confident after this rough couple of years, rehabbing. see i give myself credit. give the train staff credit because there's times throughout the lengthy process that you might doubt yourself at the same time unclear, but honestly with come

back, i feel like myself great and not just like it's gonna take a few games maybe a few weeks ago. to be all star again. and if he is at all star caliber , look out for the golden state warriors, and you do have to give claire a lot of lot of kudos the way he's handled himself over a rough couple of years rehabbing for those injuries. hey speaking of basketball, everybody loves a buzzer beater check. this out from earlier tonight demanded to rosen of the bulls at the buzzer as the bulls beat indiana by to look at the replay. that's basically like a shot you would take in a game of horse and off balance, one leg up and down. marta rosen is the buzzer beater for the bulls tonight, and that is the sporting life at this hour. you gentlemen have a great evening and i'll see you at 10
