| 0:09.1 | Hi, this is Josh Levine, and this is Slate's sports podcast, hang up and listen for the week of February 18th, 2019. |
| 0:17.4 | On this week's show, Robert Lipsight will be here to talk about who won and who lost the settlement between the NFL and Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid. |
| 0:26.2 | Sean Foreman of Sports Reference will also come on the show to explain how we built an indispensable family of websites that generates more than a billion page views a year. |

| 2:03.1 | On Friday, the NFL and representatives for Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reed announced that the |
