Welcome, everybody.

This is the Football GM podcast.

Mike Sando here with Rainy Mueller.

If you can hear me laughing,

it's because there's a delay game penalty on Sando today.

The last five,

ten minutes, I'm getting these texts from Mueller. Hey, are we good? I said, yeah, I think we got a great show going. A few minutes go by, we're rolling. I said, I agree.

He wrote about a couple MVP candidates for him and Joee burrow lamar jackson i wanted to talk about
