And now, Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

What's up, everybody?

Happy New Year.

Welcome to Move the Sticks.

Buck.

How are you doing, my friend?

Man, I'm good, DJ.

I am happy and excited.

Grateful for a terrific 2024, but looking forward to

everything that is on the horizon in 2025, particularly all the great stuff that we have been

blessed to do. So I just want to be able to expect gratitude. We've been doing this for a long time

and at a time when the industry is topsy-turvy, look, man, I'm blessed

and fortunate to have such a great partner in you. Well, I'm very thankful for you as well, and it's cool. One of the things we both get to travel around in all these different NFL stadiums every week, and I'm sure you've experienced the same thing I have, which is you run into people all the time. Hey, you know, love the podcast. We listen to the podcast, but listen forever. They'll reference

something from a rookie draft.

They'll reference something from one of the conversations that we've had. So it's cool when you know that people inside the industry are still.

I think that's the coolest thing. And DJ, I would say the coolest thing is like some of the young guys that are just into the industry, like talking about, man, I've been listening to your podcast forever and all of that stuff. And so it just kind of reminds me that this is not only where we express opinions, but it's an opportunity to kind of pay it for it and get back to kind of teach some of the things that we've been taught along the way and kind of give it back to another generation of evaluators. No doubt. A couple of things I want to hit on in this episode, Buck. We did some college football stuff yesterday. We'll again be getting to a lot more draft stuff as we go forward, especially once we finish up the regular season. We'll kind of turn the page a little bit, you know, not only focusing on the playoffs, but also getting a lot more draft discussion in there.

But I was looking at the playoffs as we stand right now, and these last few spots will be determined going forward.

But I wanted to just talk to you about the different quarterbacks that we could be looking at in the postseason.

And the stories there are fascinating. Let's start, first of all, on the NFC side of things here. So when you look at the NFC, as we sit right now, we've got the big 1-5 game between Minnesota and Detroit. That'll determine who goes there. We've got Tampa Bay. We've got the Rams.

We've got the commanders.
