0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to the Bill Barnwell Show. I am Bill Barnwell. Today, our focus on breakouts this month continues and very excited to have, to me, the premier wide receiver expert on the entire internet joining us today.
0:24.8	And I'm also excited to hype up his new work.
0:28.3	Not only is he the person behind reception,
0:33.6	not only is he a person who does great work all around the internet, but now one of the hosts of Football 301 on Yahoo with other Bill Barnwell show guests, Nate Tice and Charles McDonald.
0:49.3	It is Matt Harmon.
0:51.3	Matt, congratulations.
