0:00.0	Welcome to the Bill Barnwell show. I am Bill Barnwell. I hope you guys are having a great week. We are preparing for Thanksgiving here. So a little bit of an abbreviated solo show here today. But a few topics I wanted to touch on as we approach Thanksgiving.
0:24.3	NFL is in a really unique time.
0:26.5	This has been a strange year of football.
0:28.9	Don't really know if anybody's good at the Eagles, I would say, are pretty good.
0:32.6	They have the best record in football and just beat the Chiefs last night.

1:28.8	receiver is not good on paper, not good in practice. I'm sorry, not good in reality. Not good in
1:34.3	practice is a little bit of a misnomer. But this is a Chief's wide receiver core that raises

1:47.0	where Justin Watson is getting 11 targets.
1:50.9	Not sure.
1:52.0	That's how Andy Reid would have drawn this season up.
