Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Fun show for you guys today.

Our old buddy, Derek Classen, is going to be joining us for the next iteration of our lingering questions series. If you've missed any of the previous ones, we're doing a show about every division in the NFL, trying to answer some of the questions we feel like weren't answered by the end of the 2023 season, for one reason or another.
