Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays. The NFC South preview is today. Me,

Derek Classen, Dave Hellman. I really enjoyed this conversation. I'm more interested in this division than I thought I would be coming into the offseason, but there's a lot to be excited about here.

We got some young quarterbacks. We got a team with the bucks that is just consistently very good. It was one of the best offenses in the league last year.

We hit all of it in depth. So let's just get to that conversation with me, Dave, and Derek, right now.

It's NFC South Day on the athletic football show.

And Derek, I am of the opinion that this division gets too much unnecessary flack.

I'm genuinely looking forward to several of the conversations that we're going to have on this show.

Are we going to talk about the weird Saints team that's quarterbacked by some combination of Spencer Ratler and Tyler Shuck, yes.

But other than that, I find the other three teams in this division really intriguing and I am

genuinely excited about digging into this.

Okay.

So that's why I think this is going to be really fun because I think I am of the opinion that I

don't really care so much about the other three teams and I am weirdly interested in the Saints. This is going to be a very bizarre conversation. You have been on one all week. I mean, you picking Josh Connerley to win offensive rookie of the year. Like, I just, I'm really impressed by the weird energy that you brought to this entire process. If everyone is going to be all in on the Washington narrative, I mean, somebody's got to be the beneficiary of that. Okay, but the Saints, that's disgusting. But we'll get to it. It's fine. Dave, I know that you're like a weird NFC South Sikko. So I can, I feel like we're kindred spirits here and how we're approaching this show. This is the division I grew up in. So yeah, I am. And I think it's funny because I am, I'm a cynical

person in my day to day life. I think most people would say that. But in my football watching life,

I want to believe the best about people. I want, I want things to be good. I want to see the best

case scenario. I want people to have hope for their team.
