When you tune in, you can read my work on ESPN.com. I have a story out Thursday about a guy

he wrote about earlier this season, Cliff Kingsbury, and that, of course, is Sam Forty from the

Washington Post as he's advertising it on his cap if you're watching on YouTube. Anyways, as you can see, I'm joined by Sam Forty from the Washington Post.

So Sam, it's a Wednesday.

And so this is typically I'm not doing a podcast today, but it's the postseason.

So we've got to do more every day because there's a lot of interest.

And so today is the first day we're back talking to the prayers.

Sam and I didn't get back from Dallas until Tuesday, but first day

back to the facility. We talked to Jane Daniels, talked to Dan Quinn, get in the locker room,

any vibe, general vibe that you got from today. The vibe that I got is that people should realize

that John Khyme is really playing through an illness here. He should have been on the injury report.

And so people got to respect the fact that you're out here grinding.

It's not too often, though, that in your 70 years covering the beat,

you've gotten a playoff week, so I respect it.

But, I mean, no, I think that they were in the bubble today after, you know, obviously that big snowstorm.

Marshawn Latimore practiced, you know, the jog through.

But with his hamstring, Tyler Biotish said he's good to go with his ankle.

So I think that those are two really key players.

If you're going to beat Tampa Bay, we can talk about some other guys.
