This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Welcome to NFL Daily, presented by Draft King's Sportsbook, where we only feel truly alive after that camera light turns on.

I'm Greg Rosenthal here in the Chris Wessling podcast studio with my friend Steve Weish

and Patrick Claibon.

I'll throw it to you guys.

You ever, you're television professional.

Stop.

You know, you ever have days where it's like, oh, you know, you're a little worn down a little bit, but then that light turns on and then it just, it takes over. You feel it. Have that light ever turned on for you and you didn't feel it? You know what I mean? I mean, it happens, but you know, this is, I'll use the gym analogy. You know, some days you just don't feel like you have it.

Yeah.

But once you're,

once you're about 10 minutes in on that elliptical, that treadmill, then you're rocking and rolling and you're having all these great memories and you're running from people trying to kill you, you know, you really got it going. Yeah. And you have to, right? in the gym you got you know for steve you got 400 pounds on your back yeah you got to come back up

ago patrick that doesn't always have to, right? In the gym, you got, you know, if you're Steve, you got 400 pounds on your

back. Yeah. You got to come back up. A long time ago, Patrick. That doesn't always happen for me in the gym. I'm just more like, okay, we're at like 25 minutes. Is that enough? But having not been mentally prepared and been on television and embarrassed myself in the past, I used to keep a note in my wallet.

I wrote it down after a really bad hit

where it was a note in my wallet. I wrote it down after a really bad hit

where it was a national hit on CNN, a news story that I will not be unprepared on TV ever again.

That go. And so before the, honestly, like to Camono open here, before everything starts,

I tend to close my eyes, take a deep breath, then go into a

place. That's good. It has crossed my mind because Steve, you've had, you know, far more live

television experiences me. And sometimes I'll be watching. I'll be like, I wonder if Steve ever just,

you know, man, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just grinding down and he's not feeling it today. Because you could, you could never tell. All the time. But I mean, as Patrick said, you know, you make that one mistake and it's a right. Somebody else sitting in this chair, baby. Your own zillow. You guys have been sitting in this chair every preview show. And this is one of the best slates. I think we've had all season. Sneaky fun. A lot of just B pluses, A minuses. But we got to start, despite it not being the smallest spread of the week, with what to me, and this is my choice, is the game of the year. Love it. Yeah. I'm right there with you, Greg, because it's the next game. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Baltimore Ravens. Both played at SoFi last week in primetime. Both got wins. The Ravens playing host to the Eagles favored by three with an over under of over a half a hundred. 51 and a half points. Full CBS treatment with Jim, Tony, and Tracy on the call.
