Good morning and welcome back to the Zach Jackson and Friends podcast. I'm Zach Jackson.

I am in Indianapolis for the NFL scouting combine, which is moving right along.

It is Thursday evening-ish. The start of the on-field workouts by Sunday night, it'll wrapped up here, a busy and important week. But,

um, sometimes I get on and I say good morning, good afternoon. Sometimes I just make a cheesy

joke and, you know, even once or twice those are funny. They're usually not, but I stuck with

just good morning for this one because I was out here, um, ran into an old friend I hadn't seen in a long time

and we were telling old Brown stories and we were talking about Ted Washington. If you remember him,

the 360 pound nose tackle. Ted would just say good morning. He would walk by the media scrum.

He would say good morning. He would, someone would go up and ask him a question and his answer

would be good morning.

He'd be walking around the building and if it was 9.30 a.m. or 4.30 p.m., you'd say hi, Ted, and he'd say good morning and keep on moving. So I don't know what Ted's doing these days, but good morning to him and good morning to you. Really appreciate those of you who have listened and supported and helped this thing grow, whether you're here

because you're a Browns massacist, whether you're here because you're a family member of

mine, whether you're here because you love Cleveland sports or just football in general,

or you wanted to come here, Nick Baumgartner from the athletic talk draft, welcome.

So do the things, the like, subscribe, share things, please, and help this thing grow.

Nick is a good dude, a really good writer.

And one of the things that makes him so good is he just loves this.

Like his energy jumps through.

I'm sure you'll hear that later when he comes on.

But he really loves, like watching these guys, really loves telling their stories, bringing them to life, really loves digging in to find the holy shit place.

They make it good.

So I think he has really good knowledge.
