This is the Athletic Football Show.

Welcome everybody with the Football GM podcast.

Mike Sando here from the Athletic with the GM, Randy Mueller. Happy post Thanksgiving. Randy, happy holidays. How are you doing? I'm doing great, Mike. You're happy to have one holiday behind us, but I like the holidays, so we're still in the middle of it. I kind of lost my stinger a little bit. I came to Idaho a day ago, and it hasn't stopped snowing since I got here. So I've

already plowed three times and I'm ready to head to the sunshine, you know, it's crazy.

Wow, you better, I can connect you to Sean McDermott's guy. He helped dig him out of there.

Yeah, no kidding. You know, I love this time of year too. You know, we did, uh, wife's got the

There's a lot to talk about on the front of some of these teams that could be looking for new coaches or already are.

We'll bring some perspectives to that.

We're going to talk about the Bengals, maybe some grudging respect given to the Bengals here. The Football GM podcast, been a little skeptical on SINC, but we will talk about that.

Greg Roman's name coming up for the Stanford job.

Give us a great ability or entree into the topic of Lamar Jackson, the offense there, what they should do, what they shouldn't do.

We do have the GM notebook this week, couple other topics, our picks. I think we were decent in our picks, not too bad last week. So we'll see how it goes this time. But Mr. Mueller, let's start out with a little bit of Packer conversation. You up for it? Yeah, I'm ready to go. I mean, we've had McAfee's show in the books,
