Welcome to Deadcast, a podcast taking you through the week of sports lunacy.

Here are Deadspin, editor-in-chief Tim Marchman and columnist Drew McGarry.

Hey, what's up, everyone?

Now, this is our first Deadcast back since the old Deadcast, which most people don't remember,

and which was jury-rigged by me and not very,

not very good in terms of sound.

Usually one person on the phone was sort of muffled and then I was very loud.

I was much too loud.

So we're back and we have big corporate podcast backing us up and probably inserting subway ads

where we don't want them inserted and things like that.

Do you have any rules for this new deadcast, Mr. Marshman?

I have a few rules.

I just want to make sure that we're in agreement on certain things such as no talking about the Nix.

Yeah, I don't know how I really feel about that.

I'm pretty prone to talking about the Knicks.

We're going to have to see how that one goes. It might be honored in the breach.

Okay. All right. Well, okay. We can get rid of that. No guests. And I don't mean like we can have like staffers on and stuff like that, but I don't mean like we're not going to be talking to the third line guy on the capitals for 10 minutes every week. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, it would have to be somebody pretty good. be talking to the third line guy on the capitals for 10 minutes every week. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, it would have to be somebody pretty good. Like if we could get a, if we could get Goodell to honor our open public challenge and show that he's not a coward, he can be a guess. Yeah, yeah,

he can come on. We would, we would allow him on. No podcast longer than one hour. We're not. Who has time for that shit? Yeah, we're not. I wouldn't listen to me for an hour. No, I, I, more than an hour anyway. I'm not, I don't think highly of myself to think that you're going to tolerate this for longer than one hour. We're going to be told that we suck right after this one because it's the first one and we're going to do it all wrong. But we won't do it longer than an hour, I promise.

I don't want to talk that long. Yeah. Any other rules that you want? No showboating. No

glory boy behavior. Yeah. no glory boy behavior.
