This is an I-Heart podcast.

The Around the NFL podcast is in the best shape of its career.

Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast.

My name is Dan Hannes and I am joined by room filled with some heroes. Chris Wessling and Greg Rosenthal.

What up, boys? Hey, Dan. Good to have you back. Oh, it's so great to be back.

A lot of energy in that intro, just like you're just happy about life. Yeah, life is good. It would be better if Sessler was with us today, but he had to attend to some family

business out of leave a little earlier than usual, so his chair is empty. So we're going to have to

wait a couple more days before the foursome, the full room of heroes is together. But I'm very

excited and happy to be back in the studio with you fellas on a full-time basis after my paternity leave.

I just want to say right off the top, a very special thank you to one of our great listeners,

Indy Sarah, who sent a onesie to my son, Jack, a Masters of the Universe onesie that I would

have loved to wear when I was a kid, and now my son will get to wear.

So thank you very much to Indy Sarah for that.

We have an excellent show, gentlemen.

Greg, you are the boss.

You called me while I was away and asked me if I would like to go to Seattle to cover the kickoff of the NFL season.

I said, yes, I would like to do that. So I'll be heading up to Seattle for the Packers of the NFL season. I said yes, I would like to do that.

So I'll be heading up to Seattle for the Packers and the Seahawks,

the Thursday night football game.

So we're going to get into that game.

Big preview show.

Wes, I know you love previews.
