Hello, hello, hello. I am Matt Williams. This is a locked on NFL podcast. You are probably expecting Twitter Thursday, as we usually do on Thursdays here on the show. Big change in plans from now and going forward. A good friend of mine, a former ESPN colleague of mine.

Mike Sando is going to join us every week at this time to talk NFL stuff.

That doesn't mean Twitter Thursday is going away.

I'll probably do Twitter Thursday tomorrow on Friday.

But Michael, how are you?

I'm excited to have you.

Yeah, it's like old times, Matt.

It's great to be here. We, you know, people don't know. Matt and I go back probably, well, my first year at ESPN was 07, so you were, you were there already, right?

Yeah, I was. I put in, it was 10 years of service at ESPN. And my final season was three years ago so yeah let me do the math but yeah we did

plenty of wonderful things together i'll never forget that there were probably what three or

four years you would call me on like a tuesday or wednesday evening with some topic and the

next day it would end up being like a 2,000 word

story.

That's true.

And, you know, always appreciated your versatility.

I used to joke that, you know, I could call and ask you about almost any team's,

you know, nickel corner situation and you'd have some thought on it.

So, you know, I'd always try to sort of stump you, you know,

because I was so dialed into the NFC West.

Right.

But, you know, we just, we work well together.

So glad to be here and looking forward to doing this, like you said, every Thursday.
