Good to see you Chris Brockman what's going on over there rich IJ Mikey dear you going to game tonight. Yes I am.

You are hundred percent very good with someone else that works okay very good skin so now I was the nosebleeds know with all you want for us to enhance what you okay okay very good. Just give your tickets to Hoskins and listening and sit together. It's okay. Well, it's all good it's all good.

What you want to do very good. It's very nice of you to do that Jefferson liked the candle the NFL season is here. Did you like the candle is lit rated go so if you're new to these parts we been on the Missouri) recovering and every single time that we been on the air at the beginning of NFL season.

I started off by asking Michael to full for NFL films, music, and I run through all 32 teams and their hopes and their chances in their storylines and their backgrounds for the season. Let's get it starting right here in Los Angeles, California defending champion Los Angeles Rams, and they are the ones that can and the longest route in the history of NFL football not seeing back-to-back Super Bowl winners last time it happened.

NFL network was age to the first two seasons. We covered the NFL NFL network, the patriots went back to back.

This is our 20th season covering football were 19 years old. It's been that long. Alan Robinson is the new wide receiver there, Bobby Ladner, future Hall of Famer right behind Aaron Donald and right in front of Jaelyn Ramsey Matthew Stafford apparently got the procedure on his elbow he's feeling all fine and dandy for Cooper comp and everybody to get out there tonight against the bills Los Angeles Rams and that one of the 32 teams that has a chance to repeat and and the longest such drought without seeing it in the history of the NFL, but the 49ers might be the team standing in their way. The team that almost won the NFC championship game in that building up the road we might've been maybe tonight looking at Santa Clara, California for the banner race but instead they lost that game. It's now trade lances team and Jimmy Gropper was still on the quarterback from the thought that Samuel spent parts of this off-season saying I'm never going back there and guess what he's back there with a new contract. The offense is all intact. It's all on lances shoulders. The defenses intact. It's all on trade lances shoulders unless it could be on Jimmy Gropper. Her shoulders, how will Kyle Shanahan navigate that in his sixth year coaching in San Francisco, the Arizona Cardinals, it's here for for the Kyler Murray Cliff Kingsbury combination. It may have only one playoff season to show Ford and no playoff wins. The ram started their playoff rampage to the championship last year by boat racing Kyler Murray out of that building has a new contract. There was a couple of weeks. During this off-season couple of months, partly during this off-season.

We thought he would be back. And then there was one week what we thought he just doesn't study very hard and he needed his iPad time in order to make sure that he studied well enough for a game, how will he handle not having DeAndre Hopkins for the first six games of the season. JJ Watt could this be his final rider, who knows what's going on in Arizona except that they have an opportunity to shock some people and then there's the Seattle Seahawks. Year 13 for Pete Carroll turned 71 in September. He is the most tenured coach in the NFC coming off of his first losing season in Seattle since the year before Russell Wilson got drafted and we all know Russell Wilson is no longer there.

What will this team look like in the post-Ross era Gino Smith, one of our guests on Wednesday show says it's just another game for him, it's just another start for him. It's just not as he said, a redemption story for him, but he's got a major opportunity to shock some people on a roster that's young and fast. They got a fast team. How will they fare with those circumstances, and then we moved to the NFC South Tampa Bay Tom Brady entryway for years. 23 and the National Football League retired on retired he's back. Bruce Arians was active then he retired. It's now Todd Bowles team. It's his second shot at being a head coach in the sling was at coach in New York. There's an upfront problem right in front of Tom Brady on that offense them on the interior offense of line. Other than that there's not many question marks on the steam except is this Brady's last ride.

Can he ride off into the sunset as a champion. Can he make his weight for 11th Super Bowl of his goat career. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the clear favorite in this division.

Then there's the New Orleans Saints with their new head coach and Dennis Allen yeah Sean Payton out there for the first time since 2005 and our listing look with the defense of minded coach quarterbacked by a guy who went through every single joint in his body.

In this most bizarre press conference for Janice Winston before the opener against the Atlanta Falcons. Michael Thomas is back. How will you look how will this offense look under Dennis Allen in year one of his regime in New Orleans in Atlanta. Arthur Smith year two for him and it's second chance time as a starting quarterback now from Marcus Mario Drake, London, one of the most talented young receivers. The first young receiver taken off the board in the draftees banged up going into week one will see how he fares how will year two of Kyle Pitts. Look what will Atlanta look offensively at all top to bottom with Desmond Ritter, the Cincinnati quarterback from college last year waiting in the wings. An interesting year crossroad year for Atlanta. Their first year without Matt Ryan at the controls, since Matt Ryan was in college Nimitz Carolina. Matt will Dean of NFC South cultures is the most tenured coach in the division with his teammates. Year three for him to Christian McCaffrey stay healthy and what will Baker Mayfield do with his remarkable opportunity. All of a sudden he's in a better spot than if he stayed in Cleveland I think he has a long term future in Carolina if he can take them to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.

Their last playoff win with the NFC championship game en route to Super Bowl L. The NFC North Detroit Lions. Your hard knocks. Favorites is this Jared God's final ride in Detroit or as a starting quarterback in this league we all know that this war restoration project has been going on for quite some time there last playoff appearance was 2016. Their last playoff win was 1991.

What will the Lions do in year two of the Dan Campbell administration Howell Aiden Hutchinson look the number two overall pick right there.

The Chicago Bears one word was, I think I need to take a RICO laughter saying that Justin fields his first full season as starting quarterback there.

The bar is set very low in Chicago.

Their last playoff win the 2010 divisional game when Cutler beat Russell Wilson on way to the NFC championship game. A loss to the Packers and Cutler wound up on a stationary bike on the sideline prior to taking a walk through rodeo Drive next week. Menu got the Minnesota Vikings a lot of people hop on the Vikings bandwagon with Kevin O'Connell coming from the Ramstad can he unlock her cousin, Justin Jefferson, can he be the top wide receiver in the league. What about Calvin Cook all behind a new head coach, who was their first offensive minded head coach since Brad Childress in 2010. Don't forget he handed things off to Leslie Frazier who handed things off to my examiner the Vikings look like with an offense of mindset under the head-coaching headset and of course you got the Green Bay Packers trying to finish first in their division for the fourth straight year. It's only happened once folks when Mike McCarthy ripped off for straight divisional titles after winning the Super Bowl. That's it. In the history of the Green Bay Packers Canary Rogers win the third straight MVP.

One would think if he comes up with 13 wins another division title to become only the first quarterback in history the Green Bay Packers to live for straight division titles twice without Devante items one would think that would put them in line for the most vital player in the league.

What will the Packers season look like right there with Erin Rogers back again now for believe the rest of his career.

And then there's the NFC East of the New York Giants, a new head coach and brined able. What will this offense look like mad Canseco on stay healthy. As Daniel Jones finally have the weapons and the culture around him to evaluate him as a long term possibility for the New York Giants of one more than six games only once in the last eight years and that was the 11 win season of been back to do that wound up in a one and done appearance in Green Bay with Odell Beckham punching the Lambeau wall the Washington commanders. We got a new team name Oaks. It's the Washington commanders or the weather, the, the Commodores is the basement preferred to them the other day. There's only one one cornerback not named Carson Wentz was started season opener for two different FCE steams and his name is Donovan McNabb who did it just for Washington and Philadelphia. Carson Wentz is adding his name and that makes question is, is what you can do it that opportunities got a lot of speed burners on offense, which is young come back soon enough to help that defense. Your Washington commanders right there. The Dallas Cowboys year three of the aforementioned Mike McCarthy contact seat and see the Lamb, new triplets right there. The defense is spectacular.

That's not the question how the offense of line without Tyron Smith pulled up to protect academic some room for the physique and what is Tony Pollard Rogan to be and who else other than see the Lamb in an injured Michael gala can help out offense for Dallas and then you got the Philadelphia Eagles jail and hurts it's all on his shoulders. Man said only one playoff win since that Super Bowl was when the Bears doubled joint themselves out of the playoffs in the wild-card round against Philadelphia. It's jail and hurts his world. He can be a long-term future quarterback in Philadelphia or this could be his final ride right there. Big huge opportunity for him. That's my breakdown of the NFC listings in the West teams in the Central and South.

That's the national football conference going into the 20 22,000 dear CAFC right now. Starting in the last Las Vegas raters Josh McDaniels 2.0 how would be different than when he was with the Denver Broncos. Bella check had a very successful run and still is on one after he crapped out in his first time as a head coach in the NFL, even though no the actually did make the class of the Cleveland Browns and coach and what ended his tenure there was the whole moving of the team, but you get what I'm saying McDaniels Derek Carr is God's BFF in college that the best receiver in the NFL, Devante Adams, what will he look like we didn't see him in the preseason it all add Chandler Jones to Max Crosby on that defensive line. I would sit in the raters when the division it would be their first division title since their 2002 Super Bowl season, that's the last time the raters won their division and the Broncos. Their last playoff win was Super Bowl L, but let's ride with Russell Wilson the prize of the off-season quarterback world is now wearing the Denver Broncos orange for new head-coaching Nathaniel Hackett is that all you need to add a team with a young defense and some young receivers and some on offense of lineman and some young running backs the veteran presence of Ross. What will he look like in his first new home in his professional playing career so much riding on that in Denver the Kansas City Chiefs of woman division six straight times. The Los Angeles Rams of the 70s won their division seven straight times the patriots won 11 straight in the Tom Brady administration. The Chiefs are on a remarkable run is Andy Reid is in his 10th year now in Kansas City so much shade thrown at Patrick my homes this off-season just because Tyree killers gone so many people think the Chiefs will not win and maybe even make the playoffs. What a fascinating season for Kansas City that has to do Smith Schuster.

Mark is all this chanting and scaling and so much more than you've got the Los Angeles Chargers. Their last division when 2009. Can this be the year with Khalil Mack being added, and JC Jackson when he is back healthy for year two of Brandon Staley, Justin Herbert has so much MVP talk around him Austin Eckler and Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and the rest of that offense and defense. The Chargers look loaded in the most loaded division in football. The Jacksonville Jaguars is the new head coach for three words, not urban Meyer head-coaching performance in the history of head-coaching performances in the National Football League is now in the books. It's in the rearview mirror, unless I keep bringing it up, which I planted, but Doug Peterson man Super Bowl winning head coach who knows quarterback's former quarterback was a guy was right near Brett Favre for all those years and offense of minded assistant and men Super Bowl winning head coach add him to the mix. What will Trevor Lawrence look like that's about it.

That's about it for the Jacksonville Jaguars and how much can a surprise people and win football games.

You can see things the same thing about the Houston Texans to lovely as bad dad lovey Smith is the head-coaching Houston and Davis Mills year to every things is just kind of throwing in the in the draft from a couple years ago because they knew they were to lose the Sean Watson you might as well take a quarterback but he's got some ability and if he came out this year you might've been the first quarterback off the board.

I don't think he's a placeholder.

I think he's near future and I think they can apply like that with Damien Pierce's front and back from Florida. Let's see what the Texans can do and how much they can surprise some people. The Tennessee Titans.

Is this my intent. Health last ride certainly with maleic Willis drafted in the middle of this last year's draft. Derek Henry's MVP campaign begins against the Giants this very weekend because how much is this guy got a shoulder of this offense. Ajay Brown is going on. They got a receiver looks just like him in height, weight and speed but Can Trl. in Berks be the Ajay Brown of this offense as the Titans go for their third straight divisional title only other time that's happened. The first three years of their existence. When the Houston Oilers were born from 1960 to 62. The Titans have that on their radar screen to try and repeat. Unless the Colts go ahead with Matt Ryan the Metro and his new digs in his new spot with that defense and that offense of line and MVP candidate running back of his own, and Jonathan Taylor can the Colts witness division. By the way, only one playoff win for this very successful franchise since 2014. That's it Colts to match that by making the playoffs and winning a game and getting ahead for Frank Reich. Let's move to the AFC North. This is a loaded division to year four for Lamar year 15 for John Harbaugh for a team that was so banged up last year almost 30 players on injured reserve last year. So how do you evaluate the running game. Now that people are back healthy. How do you evaluate the defense now that people are back healthy how you evaluate Lamar Jackson when he says I want a new contract and he sets a deadline for Friday.

How will that affect things for this team.

What is their big time. Passing game could be to Titans and Mark Andrews and Isaiah likely is that it let's see the Steelers each year. 16 for Mike Tomlin, who by the way, in the 16 years is never finished last never had a losing record only finished third place. Once when they were eight and eight and 2006 it's Mitchell Tripp Estes second shot at being a starter in this league. And then there's Kenny Pickett right behind him, not you. Harris, one of the great young talents at running back. How much is he going to shoulder of this offense as they put it together under may be a rookie quarterback.

We shall see Cleveland Browns we all know what a total disaster. It has been on the Sean Watson front, but it is now potentially behind them. They know it's an 11 game suspension. The question is, is how many games can Jacoby percent quarterback this team to in the winners circle before DeShawn Watson comes back, can they stay in the division race, let alone the playoff race without the Sean Watson made terrific run game. Amari Cooper is now thereon offense of Myles Garrett's defensive player of the year on defense. Let's see what they can do while they wait for DeShawn Watson to come back. Jacoby percent as me.

Only one career start in week one of season opener and that was for the 2019 Colts when Andrew luck surprise them by retiring on the team percent will be under center for the Browns against Baker Mayfield and a huge week one day, the Cincinnati Bengals, the American football conference champions and there got even better and they may have the best quarterback. I'm saying that they may wind up having the best quarterback in the conference and it's loaded Joe Borel can he just say okay I funeral them home stop on your own with Josh, talk, guess what, I'm Tom Brady 2.0 anomaly the Cincinnati Bengals back to the Super Bowl right now because they improve the offense of line in front of me.

I got weapons galore, and everybody's overlooking us because were the Cincinnati Bengals with not one back to back division titles since far as Greg's first two years. There when he followed up a Super Bowl loss would wait for winning the title in their division again. All that was a strike shorten your book will just throw that out. The AFC East we all know about budgets they got loaded up on offense and loaded up on defense with all these young guys and Zach Wilson come back healthy and actually when some games and even shock them to get to the playoffs in the first time since there round and pound days back to back AFC championship losses and ended in 2010 that your jets update right there and then you got the Miami Dolphins.

Their last playoff win is terrible enough without the Jay Fiedler beat Peyton Manning in the 2000 wildcard the last playoff win for the Miami Dolphins. They have made the playoffs a handful of times since then, but they were one and done. And now here comes Mike McDaniels never done this before and the anti-retail with jail and waddle and Mike is sitting in they got running backs for days and they got a hard-hitting defense and everybody overlooking them because their quarterback is to what's still going to do with this opportunity can Tyree kill bring his game and be electric for the Dolphins in the same way he was for Kansas City.

What will to do with his opportunity year 23 for Bill Belichick everybody's one of these lost even when taken rookie quarterback to the playoffs last season, but they have looked so horrible in preseason with new play callers would never done that before, despite their experience and met Patricia and Joe Judge being in New England who the hell knows about what the patriots can do this year no earthly idea, but the only thing we definitely know is it's the Buffalo Bills division to lose their division to win if there conference to when it's their league to win because top to bottom, from MVP quarterback to stable locker room to stable coaching staff even though they lost behind table. They got an offense that appears to be on cruise control and they had a James Cook and they've added players in the draft and they got Josh Frick and Alan it's this the time for the Buffalo Bills has the moment finally arrived where they catch to the mountaintop and bring the Lombardi trophy to Western New York. Can their dreams come true.

Good thing devilishly silently my newly sanity calling on top of the hour.

Otherwise we would have gone on some some sort of a breathless rent but just think I know, I, I, gave everybody a quick breakdown so quick but quick for each team but altogether, about 20 no soliloquy about about the possibilities and the back stories of all these teams going in the season and that's what the NFL is I get a hassle timewise and I felt so successful. I really do get asked that and it's it's it's a simple answer.

Okay 88. It's multiple parts, but it is simple one. It's the greatest narrative generating machine ever to the off-season is long enough to keep your juices flowing. The season is just long enough to make you want more okay and each game is spaced out by a week, so there are such few games they all matter so much and there's so much for you to talk about in between games know I'm at how many times you talk about wow man, what would happen with the rent Tyree in this that the other thing in the Nets manager blew that last night that that was game. If you want and then boom the play when the next night they went to baseball same way hockey same weight football spaced out and then you've got the casual fan locked in your fantasy team.

Everybody would normally wouldn't follow a league gets their fantasy teams all built and they feel like they are the new general managers of the year and they walk around offices and post and send tax in their locked in on on their team. To the casual friends there and then of course you know there's gamblers who can't get enough, but pleased that responsibly course so I'm serious like that's you put it all together and and plus you know what it is that the stars of the game do interviews in Rogers you seen him all different places we went. We have stars of the NFL call in here and I don't take it for granted Tridentine Bryce Harper: no-show trout.

I'm serious, trying it.

You know parent judge you. I would take on the show 15 days to Sunday only time you seem to national never a good point.

You know these guys had allotted time. These but I'm just saying the hoops like what what top star athlete in the NBA makes himself available talking to fans on shows like this one, and I understand that this is very egocentric of us to say our show is important and you should call in, but we have a platform and there are many others like this.

But NFL players they call you, Brady does his own podcast once a week. I mean like you hear from them. The accessibility is there so you know I put it all together and so that's what the NFL so successful, and when you talk about narrative generating machines. There's week to week storylines.

There's in game story lines that lead to week to week storylines are season-long storylines and then the season-long storylines. I just laid out for you are set up the month of March this year. In saying insane Brady on retired and Russ Russ Wilson Russell Wilson leaves the Seahawks gets traded to Denver and then on the same day, Bobby Wagoner gets cut loose and entirely kill wakes up one day and says I want to be traded and winds up on the Dolphins that day. I'm sure there is lots going on behind the scenes before all of that name any other free-agent transactions off the top your head you know and you can top it comes leaves the Packers after Roger said she's assigned and coming back to go to the Vegas writers to make in the AFC West. The deepest division in football, along with the number plate Randy Gregory of the cowboys says I'm coming back know I'm going to Denver. He's on the Broncos were to see him chasing down Gino Smith Monday night. Matt Ryan changes addresses and you throw the draft on the mix, not even naming half of the transactions and Ajay Brown to draft a trade to Philadelphia he gets paid. DeVos is on out that he's back the GVG saga.

Every team seems to have something like that. That's why the others could be the greatest NFL season ever, because it although storylines leading into the highly anticipated kickoff tonight and the fan bases around the NFL and other summary arguments about who's got the most passionate families. Buffalo Bills are up there and everybody's talking about this team on one of them as Super Bowl winners and they're the ones trying to spoil a banner raising party tonight in Los Angeles where they used to be. No football others to team you know now is to teams and everybody thinks both teams can win the Super Bowl, Kyler Murray, I know this piece of you bet I do. I keep it on the desk. This is what essentially kicked everything off because it all started with Kyler Murray scrubbing his Instagram account.

On the Monday of Super Bowl week here in this town. Let's all who with this thing coming out right before the combine them saying I want out. If I don't get paid. Then he gets paid.

We find out that the clause in the contract that the team is so concerned about his study habits. The demand he has iPad time with out a second screen though. And then they take that clause out because it was such a stink about it and he doesn't have his top receiver because he got suspended in the middle of all this for six games for PDAs. This is insane. The longer I talk the more I remember all the crazy ass. You know what stuff will happen the hell going on is what Stefon Diggs tweeted out on March 23. Helga now was that the entire regional news that was Tyree kill right week later Bobby Wagoner winds up here in Los Angeles and the defending world champs. By the way, just minutes ago announced less need and Shawn McVeigh, the general manager and head coach have had contract extensions through 2026 fantastic fantastic because as you know will aerate dynamite combination and in terms of McVeigh. There is a lot of football that I would love to see him coach and in less need there is a a lot of pics I'd like to see him F keep on Efrain and of course I adore his wife I've known for a quarter-century and I love that she's gone be in town, at least for the next five years or forever more. I love it. I couldn't love it more. I love this sport. I love talking about it. I love you wanting talk about it in this room and you want to like these phone lines up. Let's take a break.

You know he is. That's Rumson like he could top out at 23 miles an hour for tripping over nothing.

You know any can also frequently could throw deep on the he's really talented and John Merritt was right, they have never given him what he needs. They have never given in writing the timing of the timing is everything in place and everything is what is right and all quarterbacks tomorrow.closing my guy who always said you know the product of the right lung environment that I timing right right thanks Carl Albert you be well do well. Anther of the pole which quarterbacked most on thin ice. This year Lance Daniel Jones to a golf.

I don't know because even though golf was the first one the top of top of mind. I think awful lose horribly amongst those other three had know about you but that look like money. Let's throw. Who else can we throw in their daily Jones for sure. Gabby Berti said this months ago Elyse I did manage those folders you will be working with the psychiatry I think throwing to a marriage well and hurts Jim and hurts that are while that's the one you the other just like top five for you and I and I and I and you know came for him saying that people don't believe in him because of his college experience and the place where he was drafted in the manner in which he was shepherded into his game and how high he was drafted despite, you know, winning in Alabama. He needed to be benched for Alabama to win many took it as a teammate right on the chin whole year of eligibility just sat there instead is demanding to be transiently finally went somewhere and then he went somewhere where there were two other Heisman Trophy winners and he wasn't one and he strapped a second round to Philadelphia and then he gets a shot in the gets pulled people. The final game. Yeah, like that's what's that's what I guess influences people's opinions of him, and then some guy from Rio I saw on W IP saying that I didn't get to watch the games that he only went four touchdowns and six interceptions in the last several games last year. He stunk. That's why I'm saying that in Philadelphia have some people ready to run a monorail without hit it rich. It's time for five burning questions, one for each of the top five now five on Chris Brockman's countdown of the top teams in the National Football League brought to you by everybody. The NFL stream on Westwood One. This NFL season. Every West Woodlawn NFL broadcast streams live for three Mondays, Thursdays, Sunday nights, Thanksgiving, Christmas, triple headers, the international series in every postseason game brings you can Chris for your top five top five very excited thanks everybody for the feedback on this had a lot of fun doing okay now. The team that loses the Super Bowl ranch. There's just kind of this thought that they struggled next year right so I went back and actually looked it up since 2000. Okay, there was a stretch where though Super Bowl loser miss the playoffs 6/7 years and a nap and this year it ain't happening.

It ain't happening recently since 2009 10 of the 13 Super Bowl losers made the playoffs the next year. 71 playoff games. Of course the 2018 patriots made it all the way back to the Super Bowl, and we know that they wanted to the Super Bowl hangover for the loser is no more. What did the bangles do their their my number five team. Whether they do to get better in the off-season rent they got better on the offense of line Joe Borowitz at the Lehi 51 times last year my burning question for the bangles is will that revamp offense of line bingo be enough to get the bangles back and I think it will. I think it can be about that I can because I think the bills are still the team to beat that man if it's an AFC championship game and Joe Burroughs throwing in the Western New York I would be I would be nervous out. I would be nervous if I'm circling the wagons in Buffalo but that's it. Now as it fits in the line that can I get to the mountaintop again, but snafus number four number four is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Did you know is that Tom Brady led the league in completions attempts yards, touchdowns last year he had the most passing yards of his entire career at age 44.

Most touchdown since 2007 when he lit the league on fire my burning question of course is, is this finally the year that may bounce off so you moved on from Cincinnati to that question. Chris is so you would move on from Cincinnati to move on to Cincinnati. Falling off a cliff. What's next number three I got the Kansas City Chiefs seems I got it okay to love you. I was out on the teams earlier this off-season. Now back again.

But the burning question is, of course, is what is the offense going to look like without tiring in the defense once again to be without tiring Matthew. I like that to Karloff to set up or do that, they drafted he's can be a sneaky defensive rookie of the year choice. I think he's gonna be really good while yet the Chiefs third overall. That is essentially a question of Thailand ethics of what shot today have I like top two teams in all due respect to Western New York have the number two because they are not the champs for the bills will they finally live up to all the expectations that we've not seen on the themes in the early 90s there the Super Bowl betting favorites.

Josh Allen is the betting favorite for MVP. The expectations are there. The pressure is there.

Can they live up to it and the number one team are the champs ramps house whose house Mike, the Los Angeles Rams what will Cooper cop and Matthew Stafford do for an encore because we talk of a couple of the greatest wide receiver season ever, Matthew Stafford had the best year of his career overall and can they do it again. I think those last five burning questions. I agree with the exception of Brady using a fall off a cliff. It's really contained in the can the Buccaneers protect him offense that's my question is can they protect him. You know, but that's the five burning questions, get ready for the season ramps top your powers rankings, but man you got beat the manner right now that a man okay those five burning questions and all of the great job Chris about for the last week I was to come up that'll swimming. I think he threw Mike off by phone and at the Marriott is a real friends are going to like like you and AL man's answer Mike's like sitting there seen him playing the music I'm listening everywhere and same like what the hell was out of sight. All you things got himself on the floor is site money just literally said that night with not a hint of irony, not a hint of irony in all while you get the Chiefs third. You are so out on them and they could not only back in Mina said yesterday to they played in the preseason, which I thought was really important short-eared and they look really really really good when they are out there and wait a second, they did. They did, how great their first two games man the late window.

I believe it CBS right. I imagine it's going to be Romo and Nance in the desert for Kansas City at Amanda city Arizona doughnuts on Fox no limit my bed right now it's on CBS you and and and at the same time, the Chargers play the Raiders and then the Chiefs play the charges in the first Amazon game with Alan Kerr curb Street. The kickoff week to week. That is correct Sir Dabo Swinney and Clemson will talk to Thomas Dimitrov for front office exec in Atlanta coming up for the real story behind some of wrestling's biggest moments.
