Hello and welcome.

It's our number one, hour number one of our podcast. And this hour, we are going to talk some football.

But before we tell you what's on tap, check out the fifth hour podcast. It is a weekend standalone podcast. You can hear it. You can listen, enjoy the fun, the frivolity of it all with our special, special colleague joins.

But this hour and hour number one, the Cowboys and Steelers opened up the exhibition season with a

Hall of Fame game last night. But the story here is that Prescott. He didn't play in the
