0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast.
0:06.3	I am Liz Loza, joined by Matt Harmon and producer Brett,
0:09.4	and August is quickly passing us by.
0:13.3	It is almost September,
0:14.5	which means it is almost regular season football time.
0:17.1	Are you excited, Matt?
0:18.1	I am excited, I think, for the games to actually start and to matter.
0:22.1	Preseason football is always like, you know, it's like, ah, cool. You're seeing players out there in pads and like the pageantry is similar.
0:30.8	But after about... The first quarter. Oh, I mean, maybe like two minutes.
0:36.1	Nah, I'm still in the first quarter.

1:20.4	And it's just different team to team.
1:22.4	But it's definitely interesting to see some guys like that are on the roster bubble that are actually out there.
1:26.9	And, you know, it's always cool to see guys that we study as college prospects, like actually out there.
1:32.1	You know, Miles Boykin running with both quarterbacks for Baltimore has me interested.
1:37.5	Players like that, you know, that we spend a lot of time with in the college football in the draft season that more than likely, I'm not saying Boykin's in the draft season, but more than likely,
1:45.2	I'm not saying Boykin's one of these guys, but more than likely, you know, don't ever end up
