This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays. Join me today. It's my good friend Nate Tice. Nate, how you doing, buddy? I was waiting for the chime bells. I so was I. I know. I'm Pavlov's dogs with that. Like, oh, okay, here we go. Now we start talking about this. But I'm excited for Day 2 recap, Midcap, the electric boogaloo. Let's do this.

Let's get into it.

More news happened. A lot of stuff trickled out last night. A lot of quote-unquote, my guys got signed last night. So it was a lot of like just sitting here waiting for this show to talk about some of those guys today. So that's going to be a lot of fun. there's no good way to do this

because we don't have a set of eight people.

You watch NFL Network and they're rotating between hosts. I think that Rhett Lewis was on today. Take a shifts. Daniel Jeremiah lives there now, and they rotate like the fourth chair. Like, it was Symphony Freeland and Scott Piole yesterday. It's kind of going back and forth.

All the insiders are like texting on their phone on a separate screen.

They're all at home.

It's me and you.

So we can't do that all day.

So try to figure out what time to do this and properly recap everything is not always easy.

And so we're going through today.

And I was like, man, should we have done this earlier? Do we need to wait all day? And then boom, the Darren Waller thing happens. I'm like, yes, a justification of my process. We timed it up right for once. For once we did it right. No, exactly. I love that. That's why it's the midcap.

The midcap's great because you get most of the day done, but the stuff that trickles out we can get to it to late. That's exactly right. So it all works out here, and here we are. The Giants pull off a trade for Darren Wallers, how we're going to kick this off. They trade the 100th pick, a third round pick, the one that they got in the Cadarius Tony trade,

which is a nice little bit of synergy.

I love that.
