This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me tonight, the senior NFL insider at The Athletic. Diane R how are you? I'm good. I broke every single screen time record I've ever had in my career. So I am pumped after seven days of just being all up in my phone. And I look forward to just sitting in a dark room. I'm going to do what Aaron Rogers did last year and just go to this dark place for a few days to kind of reset and recharge once all this gets settled down.

Our jobs are very different. And even I feel like I'm so glued to my phone during last week,

even like I have trouble sleeping because it'll be on my nightstand and I'll just know that

something could potentially

be happening. So I should continuously wake up like every hour and check my phone. And I can't

even imagine the fact that you actually have to live like that for those five days. So it's very,

very different, but even I feel the blowback. Your mind is racing because you're putting together

takes and thoughts and probably, you know, kind of r feel the blowback. Your mind is racing because you're putting together takes and thoughts and probably,

you know,

kind of racking your brain going to some of the historical moves that we've seen because

you're so great at that and probably already thinking about contracts and all the great

stuff that you've perfected.

For me,

it's obviously just trying to collect the information,

share information, and of course,

break the stories. So this last few days, and thank goodness I have great training in the space

of, it was almost like having a newborn again where you wake up in windows for feedings.

So when you have a little baby and you bring the baby home from the hospital, that first few weeks, so it's like three to four weeks, you're getting up every two, three hours. Um, so I've been doing that for the last three years. So two years, excuse me. So I was like, I right. I got a little baby again. Uh, so I was doing these like little windows. One, one story actually um i was in a deep sleep and my husband got up to go to the bathroom. And he just like, oh my gosh, I'm so tired right now. I forgot which story it was. And I jumped out of bed. It was during one of my like earlier windows. But either way, you figure it out. And there was so much action at night this time. It was. So, you know, depending on where you lived and, you know, where you were finding out the news, I know for the East Coasters, it felt really late that a lot of this breaking news stuff happened. But yeah, it was an awesome free agency. I had so much fun this past week. It's one of my favorite weeks of the entire year. Obviously, we do a show pretty much every single day. We didn't end up doing one on Friday into Saturday because Mike and Randy were doing football GM. It's like, it wouldn't really make sense. They're going to record a few hours later anyway. We'll let them handle it. And then I sit there on Friday. The Aaron Donald news happens. Friday night, the Keenan Allen trade happens. So all of this stuff rolls and I'm like,

oh, man, I really want to talk about all of this. And I had to wait two days to do it. But thankfully,
