CHAD MYERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: And, hey, I see he's on our screen here, Jimmy Barrett from WRVA in Richmond, Virginia.
Good morning, Jimmy.

Are you with us?

JIMMY BARRETT, WRVA RADIO CORRESPONDENT: I am, indeed. Sorry about, the Web cam is down this morning. You get to look at that smiling picture. There's my high school graduation shot. Isn't that nice?

MYERS: I was going to say, that's a pretty good hair line for how old you are.

BARRETT: Well, you know...

MYERS: Sir, I know how old you are.

BARRETT: I had the toupee stapled down rather firmly that morning when we took that shot.

How are you today, guys?

MYERS: Good. How are you, Jimmy?

CALLOWAY: We're doing well. And that's a nice picture of you.

BARRETT: Well, thank you.

CALLOWAY: We especially like to freeze bad pictures of people on...

MYERS: With the mouth hanging open, yes, exactly.

CALLOWAY: Yes. You don't want to be one of our correspondents caught without a live shot here.

BARRETT: Yes.

CALLOWAY: We're going to stick one of those up.

Hey, what about the games this weekend? San Diego did pretty well.

BARRETT: That is my, I'll tell you what, that is my game of the day, San Diego-Kansas City. Now, how do you manage to make a comeback from five turnovers? But that's exactly what the Chargers did, come from behind. There is the man, Marty Schottenheimer.

MYERS: Wow.

BARRETT: Marty Schottenheimer, ridden out of Washington on a rail. But Drew Brees, look at Drew. Here's a touchdown pass, 35-34. That is the winning touchdown right there. By the way, Drew Brees, 13 out of 15,132 yards. That's in the fourth quarter. That's not the whole game, that's just the fourth quarter. That's our game of the day.

Our leg of the day belongs to Mike Vanderjagt from Indianapolis. Five field goals...

MYERS: Wow.

CALLOWAY: He was earning his money, wasn't he?

BARRETT: He was, indeed. Five field goals, including the game winner, and the game winner was 38 yards out. There's the Ravens scoring. That's one of the few times they managed to do that yesterday.

CALLOWAY: Yes, I want to see the kicks.

BARRETT: 22-20 was the final there.

CALLOWAY: Here we go.

BARRETT: But you know what? Here we go. You have to have a reliable field goal kicker. This is why these guys get paid so much money. Time running out, 38 yards out, bam. Right through the middle. Upset special from yesterday, how about those St. Louis Rams? 0 and 5 going into yesterday's game, 0 and 5 against the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders undefeated. But yesterday, three touchdowns for their backup quarterback. This is quarterback number three, folks, Marc Bulger.

MYERS: You knew they had to pull something out of the closet somewhere, huh?

BARRETT: I'll tell you what, I don't know, you know, I don't know if this kid is for real, but he sure was for real yesterday. He threw three touchdown passes, ran for another touchdown pass. Marshall Faulk had a good game and there you go. The Rams upset the Oakland Raiders yesterday.

How about still going strong Brett Favre? He tied then passed John Elway. He is now third all time in NFL history for touchdown passes. There's one of those touchdown passes right there. And, of course, we also should send out a little prop[s this morning to Jerry Rice. You know what Jerry Rice turned yesterday? Forty years old.

MYERS: Is that 40 years old?

CALLOWAY: Yes!

BARRETT: Still playing in the National Football League. There's hope for all of us geezers this morning.

And finally, our winners of the day, the Anaheim Angels. They broke a 41 year drought, 13-5 over Minnesota yesterday. Here is Adam Kennedy. Kabam! One. Kabam! There's number two. Kabam! Three home runs plus a single, four for four.

MYERS: Yes, I felt bad for the Twins, but you know what? The Angels had such a great season.

CALLOWAY: Oh, you know, any time you go to a game and somebody hits three home runs, way to go Adam Kennedy. The fans had to just go wild.

BARRETT: Well, they did it at home at Edison Field. You kind of, didn't you kind of get the feeling that maybe Gene Autry was up there looking down on the Anaheim Angels?

CALLOWAY: Yes, they had to be.

MYERS: He was looking down at all those red bats that people were banging together, those blow up bats. I guess they make a lot of noise. I don't know, but...

BARRETT: How obnoxious was that?

MYERS: Yes.

BARRETT: Because he -- maybe they think it's angel wings flapping. I don't know.

MYERS: Maybe.

CALLOWAY: See, I kind of like the picture instead of the video phone there, Jimmy, because you can see you. And the video phone is kind of fuzzy.

BARRETT: Well, maybe we'll go with the bar mitzvah picture from here on out.

MYERS: Yes, but that...

BARRETT: You know what?

MYERS: That medical hair restoration really did a great job on your hair line there, my friend.

BARRETT: Oh.

MYERS: No, I'm just kidding.

BARRETT: Look, I'll tell you what, you should take a look, take that photo in to the nearest surgeon, micro surgeon, Mr. Myers, and see if he can't duplicate that for you, big fellow.

MYERS: Yes. Yes, I know, my friend.

CALLOWAY: Oh, you guys are picking on each other now. Time to go.

BARRETT: Hey, by the way, by the way, how about a shut out for 80,000 Redskins fans that showed up at FedEx Field on Sunday...

MYERS: Yes, yes.

BARRETT: ... even though, of course, you know...

CALLOWAY: Good for them.

BARRETT: ... we've got this terrible sniper threat that continues.

CALLOWAY: Oh, yes.

BARRETT: The game was ugly, 43-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints, but at least they showed up and it was a safe time for everybody, which is good.

CALLOWAY: Right. Just by nothing happened.

All right, Jimmy.

MYERS: All right, Jimmy.

CALLOWAY: Thanks for being with us.

Jimmy Barrett, WRVA.

MYERS: Have a good one.

BARRETT: Good-bye.
