| 0:06.8 | Yes, getting to get into supporting here around the NFL cam Newton on the reserve COVID list |
| 0:12.3 | So he will not play this week at Kansas City. We're recording this right after the news is breaking |
| 0:16.7 | So we're gonna do this show as if the game is going to go on |
| 0:20.5 | But you should probably yeah, just in case just have some contingency plans in case |
| 0:25.2 | That game has to be canceled. It's just a guessing game at this point. So Heath |
| 0:30.1 | Let's say the game is played tomorrow and it's a 415 PM Eastern game of 425 |
