Welcome to Extra Points.

Now here's your host, Cousin Sal, and his good, good pals, Dave Damashak and Martin Weiss.

All right, welcome to the Extra Points Podcast, part of the Extra Points Podcast.

Now where Cousin South comes to you on a Monday morning.

Yeah, spaghetti and meatballs fiddling with the knobs, babyface, Joel Solomon, Scott the Gris Holmes producing this mess. And joining me as always my dear, dear pal, Dave Damashik. Martin Weiss is going to jump on in a minute. Check, what a big day. I mean, there's no turning back now. We're not in the 20 days left or 50.

We're right there and we're close enough that we have to do the AFC.

We have to break down the AFC.

And then Thursday we'll do the NFC.

And then if they had a conference, we'll do an emergency podcast on Saturday.

But that's a full boat for now, right?

Right. And, you know, it really is the,

it was exciting for me. Sal sends out to, to us before every show, the day before he sends out an

outline, a rough outline by which we'll follow. Oh, don't ruin. I'll try to, I'll try,

I'll try to deviate from said outline at every turn. But, but we do our best. And

this was like a Christmas gift. This was really like digging into Santa Staggy. Like, we're making

AFC picks. I love it. Exciting. We got to do it. We got to do it. And I don't know, I mean,

there's many different points of what you might think the season starts.

You know, after the draft, maybe when the over under win total odds come out, that's always a big day for me.

It used to be when the first fantasy magazine hits the rack in like, you know, May.

So many different first preseason game. But maybe Tom Brady fully deciding to play football should be the real legitimate

starting point of the season.

He's back, Jack.
