Good morning and welcome back to Zach Jackson and friends.

I am Zach Jackson.

It is Wednesday morning, October 15th.

We're moving right along.

Week 7 of the NFL season, week 8 of the college season.

In Cleveland, we're inching closer to the trade deadline. And unfortunately, as a Browns fan,

right now, that's all you really have to get excited about. So that was bad. That was bad, as you

know, and it's been bad, and it is bad. So what I'm going to do today is point out

two or three things that haven't been awful. There's no more than that. But we're going to add

one new thought here, right? And so there's some things we're always going to do on Zach Jackson

and friends. And I'm always going to do on Zach Jackson and friends.

And I'm always going to thank you guys for listening, whether you're new or whether you're my mom and you've been listening in the whole way.

We're always going to remind you that fully loaded, fully loaded chew.com is the sponsor of the show.

And they're the top selling alternative nicotine product on the market.

You know, we're always going to remind you that this NFL is a hard leak, that this business is a hard business.

And, you know, there's obviously proof of that.

But it's not a straight line and it's not always rainbows and butterflies and guitar

smashes and all of that, right?

But starting right now in this first one that I've done since returning from Pittsburgh,

we're going to offer a reminder at the beginning of each episode.

And that is, to quote Mike Tomlin,

Andrew Barry must be smarter than me or us.
