Welcome to the athletic football show.

0:18.2

Today is Tuesday, January 18th.

0:20.5

I'm Robert Mays. Joining me today, it's my good friend, Mitchell Schwartz. Mitch, how you doing, buddy? I'm good. A lot of football being watched this past weekend. It's been a lot. We'll get into that. We'll talk about the schedule and what it made the games look like. Just a little organizational stuff before we get going here you guys

0:39.7

hopefully will be listening to this on tuesday at some point during the day we were recording this

0:44.9

1:34.3

on the C games where all of these moments become so much bigger and so much more important

1:39.5

and analyzed and crucial. So we're going to go back and kind of do some second day analysis

1:43.3

of some of the wildcard games that happened last weekend, along with some mailbag questions over the
