You're watching the ESPN fantasy football marathon, presented by EA Sports NFL Madden 21.

He is Jalen Rose. I'm David Jacoby. We are Jalen IndiCobi. What is it that we do?

We give the people what they want. So much happened in the NBA playoffs over the weekend, but it's not about that today.

Today is about the upcoming NFL season because you are watching the Fantasy Football Marathon, presented by EA Sports Madden 21.
