Ernest Gonzalez; Andrew in L.I.; Dave in Queens; Bears, Brady, Jets... Swimming? (01-19-10)

Dave combats the Championship Games for the NFC and AFC this week:  First, Dave lambasts the reports that Brady has a stress fracture in his foot as an convenient excuse.  Next, Dave makes the case for Lovie Smith as a venerable NFL Coach of the Bears. ALSO: an update on Dave's Masters Swim Practices as he trains to compete and place in a swimming race.   Ernest Gonzalez joins Dave to look at the Bears' improving season and their outlook for the NFC Championship game.  Later in the show, Andrew in Long Island (Gator on themikefrancesa.com ) details his trip to Foxboro to watch the Jets Divisional Round win against the Pats. Dave moans about the Lakers inability to beat a quality opponent on the road, followed by Dave in Queens with a series  of blasts at the Jet Haters out there, the media, and most of all, Jets basher Mike Francesa of WFAN.
