This is the Michael Kay Show podcast. I got to get more K. Listen live weekdays at one on the ESPN New York app and your smart speaker.

Welcome back to the show, everybody.

Hour two of our two-hour radio program right here on ESPN, New York.

You know on Thursday at this time, we get an opportunity to talk to our good friend Chris Sims of NBC,

and he joins us now.

Chris, how you doing? I'm good, Michael. Hope you're good, man. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Excellent. How about you? Yeah, it was great.

popular football is? No, no. It's gone to another level, I feel like, in the last five, six,

seven years where it's just exploded, right? I mean, even

their first game, the Lions Packers, that broke a record. So the interest in the sport is at

an all-time high. I mean, all our best athletes in the country are playing the sport, right? It's

And it's like we got overall the physicality of it and the concussion issues.

I think, has all led to where we are right now with the country loving the sport.

All right.
