Welcome to NFL Daily. I'm Greg Rosenthal and I am beyond lucky today to be joined by Patrick

Claiborne and Jordan Rodriguez of the Athletic on our maiden voyage for this show here,

NFL Daily in the Chris Westling podcast studio.

So this off season's been a lot.

I'm gonna talk a little bit.

First guys before bringing you in,

it's got me thinking what

brings joy in life and in football and we're gonna talk about that with our

segment coming up in the show but before where I do get to you guys, I do want to start by addressing

the obvious that this is not the Around the NFL podcast, that we taped our last episode of Around the NFL on May 23rd and it was a total shock to all of us and

It's very difficult that that was the last show that we're not going to do another and I know

That's gonna inspire a lot of emotions from our listeners from you guys

From anyone that that's worked on it, for myself, of course, I get it. Like, I've been going through them too for really six weeks now since we did that last show. I still am. We'll go through them together.

I love Dan and Mark and what we built together with Chris was was beyond special.

Kisha, Chris's wife, said it perfectly on IG yesterday that we will always be family.

And nothing can take away what we accomplish together.

I do just want to thank everyone, especially the listeners but also everyone in this room you too and that's ever been in this room

You know who you are and who's in the control room back there and who's been in the control room over the years,

whether it's in Culver City or here,

and the listeners too, because y'all helped,

you changed all of our lives, you know, you made something so special with us and you felt like it was always us together and you stuck with us after Chris died and we tried not to ask for

too much along the way but I do I do want to ask for something now.
