Summary
Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, Friends From Football makes its triumphant return in this standalone podcast episode. It's been over 2 years since I (Kyle) hopped on here to chat ball. With starting NFL QB (friend of the pod) Kirk Cousins balling last night, I felt like it was time to check in. This episode is part random NFL tangents, part therapy session and part celebration. While I realize that Kirk Cousins, the Falcons, Vikings and the NFL have probably almost no crossover with Marvel fans, I appreciate those of who you do stick around to listen.

| 0:00.0 | All right, first off, let me say, I am starving for some new Marvel contents. |
| 0:26.4 | Wow, I didn't think this break would kill me as much as it is, but I'm continuing my rewatch, |
| 0:31.4 | but I am just missing the Marvel Cinematic Universe. |
| 0:34.4 | As soon as a new trailer comes out or as soon as some new content comes out |
| 0:39.3 | as early as next year, Friends from Work will be rolling again. So be sure to subscribe |
| 0:44.5 | to Friends from Work and check that out. But wow, it has been almost two years since I did |
| 0:52.3 | a Friends from Football episode dating all the way back to |
| 0:56.4 | 2023 when Kurt Cousins tore his Achilles. And I know this will be a small market here. I know |
| 1:04.0 | that there's not a lot of crossover between Marvel fans and Kirk Cousins fans or NFL fans or |
| 1:09.4 | Minnesota Vikings fans or in this case, Atlanta Falcons fans. |
| 1:13.3 | But this is really just going to be because I want to do it, which is a funny, funny thing. |
| 1:20.1 | I don't have a ton of notes or I have no notes and I don't have any kind of structure to this. |
| 1:26.5 | This is going to just be a chance for me to jump onto a few different rants and get on a few soapboxes here. |
| 1:34.6 | What people don't know is as passionate as I am about the Marvel Mac universe, that passion is also equaled to Kirk Cousin's career. |
| 1:41.8 | He's one of my lifelong best friends. |
| 1:44.1 | We grew up together. |
| 1:45.2 | I still stay in touch with them every week. Um, and it's just been the craziest journey. |
| 1:50.1 | So like when he wins the game last night against the saints, my phone blows up. So I spent the |
| 1:55.9 | entire evening, literally talking to people on the phone. Um, and so some of these rants are going to be a recreation the morning after, a recreation of some of those phone calls that I had last night. |

| 2:11.9 | I still stay in touch with one of the radio guys from Washington, D.C. |
