Hey guys, it's Robert.

Just a quick heads up.

We recorded this episode before the news came down that Baker Mayfield requested a trade

and that the Browns would not plan on honoring that request.

So just keep that in mind as you're listening.

I'm sure we'll hit all of that and a lot more here in the coming days.

Appreciate it.

This is the Athletic Football Show.

Thank you. This is the athletic football show. Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Join me today.

It's my good friend Nateyce.

How you doing, buddy?

Doing well.

We got through it. March Mad in several ways, opening day of the brackets, but closing a little bit of free agency. Or the first breath, like first gasp of free agency is over. I hope. I'm sure there'll be news right as like 10 minutes into the show. We'll have to like talk about something that'll come up

today well i left out the date today is thursday march 17 so it's the first day of march madness

it's st patrick's day yes and i'm at a bachelor party that's the combo that that's where i am right

now but we're having this conversation at a different point in my life, a few lifestyles ago.

This would have been a different sort of day.

But instead today, we're going to talk about the latest in free agency, the latest that's happened over the last 24 hours or so.

This is inevitable.

Every single time we do this where we start reacting to a flurry of news, the moment that the microphone turns off, it's inevitable that something massive is about to happen.
