Welcome to the Peter King Podcast. Really happy to have me join me this week. We got a fun

podcast. We got Mike Tereco of NBC Sports to talk with me

to dissect my one to 32 my mid-season NFL power rankings to

to dissect my mid-season NFL power rankings and to update us a little bit on Trevor Lawrence Clemson

who'll be doing that big Notre Dame Clemson game on NBC this weekend and we're also going to talk to

Tyler Tines of the ringer. I want to introduce you to Tyler Tines. He's a really

interesting guy. He wrote a great story about the frustration across the

spectrum high school college NFL the frustration of black coaches in the football coaching the He wrote a great story in the ringer, you can catch it there, but we will talk to Tyler Tines and you'll love the detail.

He really got down in the weeds with this story and I think he did a terrific job. Before we start with Tereco and Times, I wanted to mention a couple of things about, you know, as we approach the league at mid-season.

There's one team that really, really impresses me.

And I wasn't sure at the beginning of the year

that they were going to impress me as much as they have.

But I just think that the New Orleans Saints who are no longer the bombs away Drew Breeze thrown for 400 every week. I just really am impressed with a couple

of things about what they're doing right now. And I say this because they have a showdown on Sunday night,

on NBC.

I'm not doing this because it's an NBC game.

I'm not going to drive any ratings to an NBC game. But I'm so

interested in the fact that now Tampa Bay 6 and 2 and New Orleans 5 and 2, they met in week one of the season and obviously in New

Orleans New Orleans won the game and you know at the time you don't know what the teams are going to look like at mid season.

But to me for the New Orleans Saints to be five and two have gone into Chicago against a tough, tough defense

on Sunday.

And luckily for them, the Bears offense is absolutely terrible.
