Good morning, everyone, the Simple Handicap for Friday, December 9th.

Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

Two more weeks to go before the long Christmas weekends, think something.

A lot of people listening to the show have circled on their calendar.

A lot of football to go along with that weekend, too.

That's going to be a lot of fun to have on the TV while you're around at home with the family.

So we're counting down the days, but it is another Friday here in December as we push on towards NFL week 14.

I've got one quick ask, and it's going to be to leave a review for the podcast if you have not already.

I'm pushing to get 1,000 reviews on Apple, 500 reviews on Spotify

by the end of the football season. Right now it's about 780 on Apple and about $350 on Spotify.

Thanks to everybody who's been listening to the show this season. It's the most downloaded

the show has ever been. And this show has been in the top 50 for football

podcasts in all of the United States and the top 30 in all of Canada for football podcasts.

The majority of this entire season, there's been a couple blips here and there, but it's

really been sustained. And so that's a big thanks to everybody who's taking the time out of

their morning to listen. I'm going to a rant not a rant just a discussion for about the next

five to six minutes about content in the space listened to circles off yesterday which was

very good if you haven't listened to circles off you're not a highly encouraged going over there, but also an offer that I got from Draft Kings two days ago that I thought was interesting. So if you want to hear this story, you can stick around. If you want to skip through and just get straight to the games, try fast forward. I'm doing this in real times. I'm trying to estimate maybe to like the six and a half

minute mark. It's going to start with the Vikings and Lions. I'll try to keep this to about five minutes

minimum. So whatever your morning is looking like this morning, don't want to force you to listen.

If you want to jump forward, go to like the six and a half seven minute mark. I'll try to be cautious of that as I go into this. So Circles Off podcast was a content creator that's giving out picks.

It's Jake Gruden's son, which I thought was interesting.
