Summary
It's finally Week 1! It's the time when the NFL-prognosticating world is at its absolute most stubborn: by golly, we *know* what these teams are, we *know* exactly what these players are gonna be...and then next week that will all be changed. Anyway, ahead of that on today's show, we'll look back at the stories we predicted would matter most in August and see how they worked out, and we'll review our fantasy teams and find the players we selected most. And then it's time to tweak those rosters with a Week 1 waiver wire! Here we go! Guest: Brandon Funston of The Athletic.

| 0:00.0 | Hey! |
| 0:06.2 | It's the Harris Football Podcast with your host, Christopher Harris. |
| 0:13.3 | Welcome! |
| 0:16.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome in. |
| 0:18.3 | My name is Chris, and I walked for two consecutive minutes this morning. |
| 0:22.2 | That's progress. Hello there. How are you today? Welcome to September. It's my honor to have you |
| 0:28.1 | listening as we're now through the draft advice and we're on to the 2025 NFL season. If you're in |
| 0:36.3 | the States, I hope you had a lovely long weekend. And wherever |
| 0:39.6 | you are, I'd imagine you probably did a fantasy draft or two over the past few days. I hope |
| 0:47.2 | you had a great time and reconnected with friends and family. Thanks very much for listening to |

| 1:01.5 | less nervous for your draft and maybe caused you to enjoy it all the more, that would make me |

| 1:15.4 | once Thursday night comes and reality smacks us across the face, |
| 1:20.4 | reminding us that predicting sports is hard, |
| 1:24.1 | and all the angry shouting boys who seem not to breathe when they quote a thousand numbers |
| 1:31.2 | and depth charts at you actually cannot see the future and in fact the NFL changed way more |
| 1:38.1 | than anyone believed possible and we all have to go about the business of learning it all over again |
| 1:43.3 | once the games start counting. |
| 1:46.9 | If it turns out that the exhibition season was a predictor of, frankly, almost anything, |
