Good morning, everyone.

The Simple Handicap for Friday, January 6th.

Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

And we have made it.

We've made it to the end of the regular season.

Final daily episode of the Simple Handicap for 2022 NFL season.

Started all the way back in the middle of July with team previews went every day

through July, August, September, October, November's when a couple days were missed.

In total, we have missed seven days since the middle portion of July when those team previews

started. I appreciate each and every one of you listening along the way. It was a big year for

the show and crossed 1.85 million downloads, unique downloads, Lifetime, top 30 on the Apple podcast charts for football in North America.

More than 1,000 five-star reviews on Apple more than 490 on Spotify.

We're trying to get to 500.

Looks like we're going to fall just short of the goal.

But I appreciate all the support all season long, some life changes along the way.

It definitely shifted my focus away from football for a little bit of the latter portion of the season, which has been different.

But everything is in a good spot now and because of the support that each and season, which has been different, but everything is in a

good spot now. And because of the support that each and every one of you have shown the show,

has given me some great opportunities as well. So hopefully the value has been given back to you,

too, as we conclude the fifth season here on the podcast. Now, the show isn't done. We'll still have playoff episodes,

but they will not be of the daily variety. I will have my immediate reaction coming up Sunday

night to the wild card opening odds, assuming everything goes forward as planned with the scheduling.
