Carmen, I hope you're having a wonderful 2026 already.

How are you doing, my friend?

I am.

I had a great New Year's, and I think we're going to get

massages later today and my birthday's tomorrow. So it's just... Happy early birthday. That's awesome.

Actually, I guess if this is airing Saturday, this will be my birthday. Well, that's why we had you on for

your birthday celebration today. It's a birthday. It's a birthday episode. I was really

stressing because I am covering Bears Lions and there was a there was a chance that it was

going to be on Saturday. And I was like, man, we have tickets to things. I want to, I want to,

I don't want to spend my birthday working. Yeah. That works out well. It was an interesting, you know, way for them. There's a variety of different ways they could have set up the schedule. So I think they did a pretty good job of it overall. It's disappointing that Carolina and Tampa isn't a direct win and get in. Obviously, Carolina does it is. But if the Tampa does, then there's the Falcons game. They have to worry about on Sunday. Sunday but other than that I think they did about as good of a job as you could ask to set up

that schedule yeah everybody always overlooks the the NFC South so to be fair no one seems to want to

win that division outright uh although I might I may be speaking too soon if Carolina wins but man

I mean if anybody has lost steam worse than the Packers have, it's probably the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because halfway through the season we were talking about Bigger Mayfield as an MVP candidate and the box is a Super Bowl contender. So maybe don't, you know, it could be worse. It could always be worse, right? It's not a great time to have Bay in your name. Tampa Bay, Green Bay.
