0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand two hundred forty-four of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Thursday, January 22nd, 206.
0:25.4	I on this podcast in recent months have said that the Washington commanders need to replenish their diminished NFL draft capital.
0:32.8	Well, here's one way in which they could do that.
0:35.9	We on Wednesday morning had reports that commanders run game coordinator slash running backs coach Anthony Lynn was to interview for the Buffalo Bill's head coaching vacancy.

1:42.1	The possibility of the dream get of Minnesota Vikings' defensive coordinator Brian Flores is no more.
1:49.5	The Vikings on Wednesday evening announced having signed Flores to a contract extension.
