russ: yes. but what he's trying to say, when it's not going your way, you've got to find other ways to help the team, be it defense. he's the leader -- ernie: they're building, too. this is a building year for them. russ: they're coming off a disastrous season. i don't think this is some catastrophic thing. there's no mutiny. there's not anything going on. but when you're losing, that's what a coach's job is to do. including the best team, if you're not picking up, pick it up. he's got to pick it up. ernie: the nets won last night against the 76ers. russ: let me tell you something. at one point in the fourth quarter, they were down by six to the 76ers. i'm not going to -- thank goodness for the nets that they won. you know what? the 76ers are one and 22. other teams have had disastrous seasons before. i like commissioner adam silver a lot, but commissioner silver -- something has been done. the former owner of the phoenix suns has been hired as an executive to help guide them. but the nba is the

russ: you know how they are. russ: they'll regard -- if he has a great year but walker doesn't, they'll say what were the mets thinking about. if it's the opposite -- christina: results oriented. what about kobe bryant? talk about those fans. russ: that's interesting, speaking of the fans. in the first returns of the nba all star voting, kobe is leading all vote getters with almost 720,000 votes. to tell you how much that is, steph curry has 510,000. lebron has 358,000. christina: that's crazy. russ: kobe has been a 17 time all star. this is his 20th season. the only guy who's played more was jabar. it's goodbye season. everybody wants to say goodbye. i don't have a problem with that. christina: especially after he was playing at the end. russ: i don't have a problem christina: we'll be right back with a touching story of police making a christmas wish come >> i want to send christmas greetings for my mom, sonya, my children. i want to say merry christmas and a happy new year. christina: a little girl in milwauke

christina: russ, thanks a lot. we'll be right back with a holiday surprise for a young woman whose brother has been serving in the military pson, the holiday season's just like football season... you got your big games... ...cheese plates, turkey, appetizers. and regular games. get it all at a great price... ...and the holiday season is won. that's my boy! fill your cart with everything you need this s eason, all at one place. >> happy holidays to my daughter who lives in connecticut. we love you, miss you and we'll see you soon, peanut. >> oh, my gosh! christina: brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it? home for the holidays. grace hernandez had an emotional and unexpected reunion with her big brother today. he's been deployed in south korea for nine months and wasn't expected home until next year. he surprised her at her school on long island and will spend christmas with his family. we salute all those serving overseas who can't. i'm christina park. for all of us in studio 5 and the control room, have a great night

ernie: russ is here. giants staying alive. good game last night. russ: more important than a good game. bottom line is giants got the w. doing the post-game shows after losses, it's no fun assignment. it's what we do. ernie: eli was on his game. russ: he was every bit of what he was supposed to be. he was a leader. connects on 27 off 31 passes. four touchdowns. that kind of leadership is why he's led the team to two super bowls. ernie: someone had to catch the passes, do. russ: he threw four touchdown two of those went to odell beckham, jr. let me say this about him. he's only in his second year. you don't like to put a label on somebody too soon. unless this kid, god forbid, is injured, it's no telling -- the sky's the limit for him. i say he's a bona fide -- ernie: he's really special. what makes him so good? russ: listen, obviously you have to have talent. he's got great hands. he's got strength. he's got speed. but there's one thing i don't think you can teach. and that's he competes all the time. ernie: he does. russ: it's a desire. you can be

russ is here to talk about another heart breaker. russ: heart breaker. let me tell everybody, yesterday i was doing the post-game show. it's miserable. they lose a miserable game. they've got the odell beckham, jr. situation. we'll have so much to talk about. we really do unfortunately. let's start with the odell beckham, jr. i don't know what happened with him yesterday. i don't know if he was overhyped for the game, but he was just too fired up. i think when he dropped the touchdown pass early, it kind of set him off. but, you know -- russ: unsportsman like penalties. it wasn't odell beckham, jr. the net result is today he was suspended for one game, which means he won't be playing in minnesota sunday night when they take on the vikings. listen -- alison: it's a big deal. russ: a real big deal. listen, their chances of making the playoffs are close to slim and none. they're extremely slim. they have to win two games and the redskins have to lose two. to do it without odell beckham, jr., it's highly unlikely. >> were you surprised by the suspension? rus

christina: time for sports with russ. we just got word about 45 minutes ago odell beckham's suspension was upheld? russ: it was. we were discussing yesterday. i thought it would be upheld. i was wondering after a while. he was at the league offices about noon today. and about 5:40 or 5:30, a decision comes down. long, i thought there was a question about it. it was as expected. what can you say? the only other thing i would add to it is josh norman, the man he was tangling with, he was hit with a couple of fines today totalling $26,000. christina: no one is innocent is what you were telling me earlier. russ: there's nobody that's really innocent in this situation. but that's not an excuse. we've said that all along. that's not an excuse for his behavior. christina: it's horrible. russ: he snapped. it got under his skin. they accomplished what they wanted to do. they wanted to get under his skin and take him off his game, which they did. that said, you know, prior to t the appeal hearing and getting the verdict upheld, tom

thank you, russ. okay. coming up, if you could send the world a message with your t-shirt, what would it be? russ: make love, not war. ernie: okay. see what people said it's the holidays. and of course, everyone wants to get online at once. to watch things. buy things. but slow internet makes it hard. that's why it's time to get fios. it has the fastest internet and wifi available. with speeds from 50 to 500 megs. and right now, you'll get 50 meg fios internet, tv and phone for 79.99 a month online for your and with a 2 year agreement, we'll give you all the premium movie channels for a year. plus, 400 dollars back. so go online or call now. now you can connect with me on facebook. anastos. check it out. you can also answer my daily positive questions. go to facebook.com/ernie anastos. >>> okay. what's your message? t-shirt? >> what's up, new york? >> love and peace. ernie: love and peace. >> and happiness. >> don't worry. be happy. be happy. do you live like that? >> i try to. living in a stressful city is

russ: the show goes on, but christina: the show limps along. russ: he's out. that's a done deal. when i say easier said than done, we're talking about not just the giants' most explosive offensive weapon, but he's one of the most explosive in the league. now they have to go to minnesota. their situation is going into the last two games, they have to win two games and hope that washington loses. otherwise, they don't get into the playoffs. first things first. minnesota. playing without odell, really, it's -- they're lacking weapons as it is. they don't have enough. that's one of the reasons why i think odell was kept in the game because they can't afford to play without him. now they must in a must-win situation. after practice today, i asked coach coughlin if he and the team feels up against it. >> we have a football team. a bunch of guys that want to play. we want to do the right thing. we go to minnesota. they're an outstanding team. but, you know, i look around and there's excitement and guys are looking forward to it. play. we want to give it everything game. we can't control

russ: unpredictable. they're the team that -- there were times this season when they were supposed to win and they lost. so why not let's do an about face and figure this out -- ernie: what you're saying for the game sunday? russ: they're supposed to lose. let's say how about them winning the game. ernie: is that what you feel? russ: you know what? what they did last week, they didn't beat a juggernaut in miami. they beat the miami dolphins. but they got the monkey off their back. they were losing games late. they weren't finishing the deal. they're winning coming from behind on the road. they proved to themselves psychologically -- i was talking to tom coughlin about it -- a burden was lifted. they believe we can do this. going into work this week, that makes a difference. can they win? ernie: they've got a lot of injuries. russ: they've been decimated. but this isn't the little sisters of the poor. nobody is going to feel sorry for you. if eli can take care of business with odell beckham, jr., that's on

russ: he is pretty good. christina: we'll be right back with the president joining jerry seinfeld on a internet show. something you have to see, find your sweet spot today with dunkin's chicken apple sausage sandwich. for under 400 calories.

russ: a very good deal. warren is a serviceable right hander, but if you ask me, castro has the ability to be a star and he's young. i think the yankees did -- ernie: so the mets and the if you're asking me, i think that really from a yankees standpoint, i think that's more of a steal when they got castro last night. ernie: golden state warriors, can you believe this? incredible. russ: everybody is asking me every place i ask can they match the bulls record of 72 and 10 in a season? 23 and 0 is eye popping. but to think for them, that the season. for them to beat the bulls, they have to go 50 and 9 the rest of the way. listen, i'm not going to say no. but for crying out loud, that's kind of like -- the bubble has to burst sooner or later. the warriors are playing great basketball. coming off a championship season, there was no letdown whatsoever. that's very impressive. ernie: russ, thank you. okay. it's the season for giving. what would you give yourself if money were no object? great answers are coming up

russ: look at it today. if you're looking at it through the eyes of the giants, it's not misery today. misery loves company division, but the giants are happy today. why? because last night, unbelievably, the redskins, not only did they lose, they lose at home. they lose on a 54-yard field goal to the dallas cowboys. and what does that end up doing? ernie: they're all bunched up now. russ: bunched up. this is how bunched up they are. let's take a look at the standings in the misery loves company division known as the you have the three teams, all at five -- 5 and 7 with the cowboys at 4 and 8. technically the giants are in third because of the tie breakers, the two teams in front of them are at 2 and 2 within the division. the giants can take care of their own business. they end up playing philadelphia on the last day of the season. but, ernie -- ernie: who's got the upper hand? russ: you know what? ernie: hard to figure out. russ: it's hard to figure simply because none of them have done what they're suppos

and next russ has more moves by the mets. 5. ernie: all right. russ is here. yesterday we talked about a deal last night they pulled off another one. russ: yesterday we were talking about the walker trade. and then last night, late last night, they go ahead and this wasn't a trade, they agreed to terms with free agent short stop cabrera. the report is two years, 8-1/2 million, with the mets having a third year club option. quite frankly, i happen to -- ernie: i think you like this? russ: i think the mets have done well. these are not what you would call blockbusters. as we were talking, clearly one of the main objectives going into the off season was to upgrade themselves offensively. they've done that at second base and i think they've done that at shortstop as well. let's be fair. these guys aren't liabilities offensively. so i think the mets have done well. ernie: you talked about the walker deal. you like that and the cabrera signing? russ: i think, again, they've they're a better team today than two days ago. it's a good move. ernie: they're making all ki

russ: not a little disappointed. quite frafpg nkly, i was disgusted with why the ban is in effect, that it comes out that pete rose is still betting on baseball. quite frankly, ernie, how stupid can you be? it doesn't make sense. what really angered me when i found out was that when he had the meeting with commissioner manfred back in september, his initial response was, no, he wasn't betting on baseball. then later in the meeting, his response was, oh, yeah, i am betting on baseball. and this is his reasoning why he went back and forth. listen. >> i tried to be as honest as i and i think he respected that. and i made a couple of mistakes during the meeting, but by the time we left the meeting, i clarified the mistakes i said. because some of his questions i kind of panicked. ernie: russ, talk about that. what would he be panicking about? russ: why does anybody panic unless somebody is sick? really, why would somebody -- you're having a hearing or meeting. why are you panicking? to me you're panicking if you know you

russ: how about you, todd, are you excited? >> i will be excited if we win sunday. for an hour. >>> todd bowles not your excitable type but he is a very good coach with his first year on the job. >> hardwood, magic makes the nets disappear. and devils over senators. >> no little sister for me. >> that is clear message from this boy, says it without say a word. >> this is like your baby sister, she is going to sleep in this, like that. christina: oh. >> nope, he is a terror storming around in his diaper, actions speak louder than words. christina: there he goes. steve: they have to work on that before the actual sister arrives that not a good reaction. you could feel the emotion there. >> cute, you could see it in his eyes, did i do something bad. steve: kids are learning to reaction to the camera like they know they are being filmed now. that parents -- christina: do you think he isaging. steve: i think it is real reaction but they are learning to see the camera, and know they russ: i can't wait until you have a kid. steve: mine will come out with a phone attached.

russ: is a bit of the head-scratcher. they have four minor leaguers and none of them were top prospects were left-handed geraldo chapman the closer who throws the hardest of anybody. ernie: what you think of them? russ: e. throws close to 104 miles per hour. i think he's an enormous talent but what makes this a head-scratcher to me, there's an investigation going on a ledge to what happened in mid-october of domestic violence where he is alleged to have choked his girlfriend, threw her against the wall and fired gunshots in his garage. ernie: but no charges filed as we understand. russ: no charges have been filed however just because no charges have been filed doesn't mean he cannot be suspended by major league baseball under domestic violence policy and there is brian cashman was on a conference call and i asked him about it. there's an investigation going to me, listen if he's innocent that's fine but to go after somebody that might be suspended for domestic violence it's kind of shocking to me that you would want to to

ernie: russ is joining us now. i guess we'd say not a classic basketball game in philadelphia, but there's a lot of interest because of kobe. russ: it won't be a classic basketball game, but it will be a classic basketball moment because it will be the last time kobe bryant performs in philadelphia. when you think about it, you're talking about -- think about two an 0 and 18 team, the 76ers, with the worst record in the league, against the lakers with a 2 and 14 record, the second worst. the two worst teams in the league. who's going to care about this game? all of a sudden sunday kobe makes the announcement this is the end of his season, going to be his final season, and now the farewell tour starts. it's a well deserved farewell tour. listen, we're talking about one of the all time greats. not just 20 seasons in the nba, 20 seasons with the same team. ernie: a lot of excitement there. what does that do to the price of the tickets? russ: in places like l.a., it's sky high. in philadelphia -- let me give you an exa

russ talks about the giants coach's future. >> russ is here. big weekend for our football teams but for different reasons. start with jets for good news. >> could script writer maybe this any better. todd bowles first year as jets head coach. done terrific job. changed culture of the team. boeing into buffalo, if his team wins they're in the playoffs. not only going into buffalo, he is going into buffalo to face the man, rex ryan who he -- >> wow, really is drama, isn't >> unbelievable kind of soap opera scene. >> bills want to spoil it for the jets,. let's face it. >> they have had underwhelming season. rex likes to yap, but to them we heard them say they're playing for their super bowl. like misery loves company. if we can't go we don't want you to go. my gut feeling tell meese even though jets lost here at metlife. >> who will win? >> jets are better team. they have more to lose. so i think they will take care of business. >> okay. >> but it won't be easy. >> we'll be watching. it will be very exciting. hey, on other side, we've got the gian

russ is here right now. we're talking about that peyton manning controversy. and you, like a lot of people, are questioning the credibility of this tv documentary. well, it's not just credibility, it's also journalistic, if you will, integrity. listen, ernie, nobody, not myself, nobody can emphatically say he didn't do this, he didn't do that. but after hearing all this stuff, i spent the entire afternoon watching the documentary. i watched it twice. i come away scratching my head, and i'm saying to myself you are taking a guy to task over basically nothing. i mean, they're saying, you know, because it's manning -- >> yeah, sure. >> -- because it's peyton, then all of a sudden this becomes, gives credibility to their story. >> well, we're seeing that al-jazeera is pedaling back now on a lot of this information. we're hearing a lot of comments and opinions now being voiced that were not being heard before. >> well, the person they used as their source in the story is basically a guy by the name of charlie sly who, i mean, he looks like an intern, for crying out

russ: nike knew what they were doing in 2003. signing this skinny kid to a contract before he was drafted, nike would not disclose what the current deal with lebron james is worse, a source said, it surpassed the 10 year, 300 million deal, keviner er kevin durant got from nike last summer. >> they believe in me. and off the floor, you know i am grateful, and thankful. to be with such a great brand for the rest of my life. i will cherish this people. russ: certainly a great deal for lebron james. it is a two-way street, michael too well, annual sales for the shoe line estimated to go over $400 million in 2015. how about this, michael jordan left the game in 2003, jordan brand exceeded 2 billion in annual sales with a target 4.5 billion in october. not bad. have acquired, castro from the cubs. for adam warren, and a player to be named later, castro batted .265 last season with the cubbys, a shortstop for the majority of his career but has also played second base? >> ben is not going to become to mets after agreeing to a 4 year deal

russ is chief investment strategist at blackrock. always great to see you, russ.s this sell-off over the past two days about rising rates? is it about falling oil? or is it about the effect that falling oil is having on high yield? or all three? >> well, i think it's mostly the last. and i'd put one more category in there. the market can withstand a gentle tightening by the fed, particularly if the starting point is zero. so i don't think a couple of hikes or even four hikes next year is the end of the world. what is a challenge is what's happened this year. that if the fed is hiking at a time when most of the other central banks are easing and we see another rapid appreciation in the dollar that's becoming a very big headwind for u.s. companies. it's one of the reasons earnings went nowhere. and that to me is a bigger challenge for stocks than whether the fed does two or three hikes in 2016. >> so is this going to continue, this type of sell-off into next week? it's going to be a week with thin volume because a lot of people take that week off, the next two weeks

russ: that's a major league problem. why panic unless you knew you were still doing what you should not be doing, betting on baseball. >> i'm a recreational gambler if i want to watch something on tv and make a small bet on it, dump it every day. russ: again peaches doesn't seem to understand, is betting on baseball is robbed him of being a part of what he loves so dearly. >> i spent 26 years in the major leagues and 26 years out of the major leagues. i can tell you without a doubt the last 26 years were a hell of a lot worse than 26 years i spent in the big leagues as you can imagine. i put my family through a lot of things over the years and they stuck behind me. my fans but i may and i appreciate that. russ: i have been one of those fans but as i've told the commissioner i also thought he deserved to be in the hall of fame. whatever the case once i found out pizza still betting on baseball i'm sorry folks enough tivo launches where he is. now on the outside looking in. hockey tonight the rangers beat the oilers 4-2 th

russ: how are you doing everyone? respective seasons of finals in the playoff picture with work and such. i such. in a come-from-behind victory over the giants this weekend 7-5 jets travel to tennessee to face a 3-9 titans sunday the jets don't have much of a margin for error. if any margin dollar at all because gang green is one of three in the eighth seed with records at seven and five followed by 2-6. that gives you five teams in the a battle with two wild-card spots. and at the four remaining games for the jets that titans are probably the easiest ones because the next three are in dallas against the cowboys at home against the patriots and on the road for this finale in buffalo. rex ryan and of bills say the jets have got to take your business this sunday. now that brings us to the they are 5-7 giants. as former giants head coach bill bartels would say you are what your record says you are. having said that even at 5-7 the giants are unbelievable still in a three-way tie for first place going into monday night's

betty: we have an interesting correlations, right, russ? i know we have some charts. up these charts in outlook forruss's 2016. inflation rises, where we see the rates. do you expect to the fed is most definitely going to raise rates next week given what we have seen in the last few days, and what do you expect in the next year? russ: we think that the fed is going to raise rates. it's high time that cycle started. the pace of is, hikes and 2016 -- we think it is modest. likely to is appreciate, not just because of what the fed is doing, but central banks are doing. tighten,d begins to many other world central banks, japan,larly in europe, and china, will be easing aggressively and that will give the dollar they left. betty: guys, let's bring this up see this,ou cannot but emerging markets, exports, commodity prices, those will remain attached to china, as they have been over the last 15 years or more. certainly many commodities are tied to china. as china changes from economy driven by fixed investment to consumption, that demand for industrial metals will go down. t
