Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays and joining me today, the one and only, Lindsay Jones.

Lindsay, how are you? I'm good, Robert. I'm really excited for our debut podcast, although I've listened to all the other ones this week, and they've been awesome, and I'm super intimidated to follow those guys. You really shouldn't be. There's no reason for you to be. This is going to be great. Lindsay and I are going to be coming to you guys every single Thursday during this season. We're going to be previewing that weekend's games. We're going to do it in a way that we think is pretty fun, just kind of getting into what we think is at stake, what matters most, the questions we want answered by the end of the weekend. Just kind of giving you a little bit of a different spin on what's kind of a state format in the preview world. But I'm excited about doing that and I'm excited about doing this. Today we are doing and previewing a division that Lindsay knows extremely well. And that is the AFC West. It's the division closest to my heart and geographically. So yeah, I'm here in Denver. Those things tend to overlap a little bit.

1:45.1

They tend to, yeah, tend to be intertwined. Yeah. So yeah, here we are. I'm here in Denver. So,

1:50.5

yeah, the AFC West. I've been covering the Broncos, well, the league at large, but this will be my

I was just in Colorado last week and I was there for about a week and I went on a lot of hiking trails.

2:08.5

It was the week before I started working here.

2:10.7

I can finally understand after truly embracing the outdoor lifestyle that is the Colorado

2:16.6

area why people do that and why people

2:19.7

live there. I completely get it now. I never really understood like a hiking based lifestyle,

2:24.6

but after some of those hikes with Molly and my dog, I really, really do get it. Yeah, it's great.

2:29.5

And there's a reason that a lot of guys, when they come to play for the Broncos, they end up staying here.

2:32.7

It's because they realize like, hey, this weather's actually pretty nice. I can get to the mountains, all of that kind of stuff. So I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Colorado. We love it here. It's great. And one of the interesting things that I've been thinking about with this division, with all these teams that are not going to have fans in their stadiums this year, will the Broncos still have an advantage because their true home field advantage is playing at 5,280 feet?
