Welcome to GM Street, part of the Ringer Podcast Network. It is Friday morning. We're going

0:10.4

to call this the Friday Focus. We're heading into the division around this weekend and I

0:13.8

am joined by Mr. Michael and Barty. How are you doing? I'm great tape Fraser. How are you?

0:17.4

I'm doing our own weekend football. This is the, some claim is the best weekend in football,

0:21.8

right? I mean, we got all these games this weekend, four huge games, the

0:25.1

visual games we're going to see what these teams are made of. We're going to map out the championship

0:29.1

1:13.1

get right into it. And I love the fact that Mark Davis came out and said that the contract was

1:17.9

signed on December 31. So that's the thing to jump into. So now we have this whole thing. He

1:23.7

says that it was signed so much earlier. John Gruden doesn't talk about it in his last game.

1:28.0
