I think that the holidays feel like frozen noses. I love walking with the dog for long periods of time.

Hopefully it's snowing and you've got to wrap up warm. So I think a frozen nose is a sweaty armpit

because your wrapped up so warm but then you're climbing hamps and heath and you get to the top

and you're like, and then you can see the breath but then your nose is still freezing to touch.

Join in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

This is the Athletics Football Show.

Welcome to the Athletics Football Show. Today's Tuesday, August 30th.

I'm Robert Mays joining me today.

It's my good friend for me. SPN, Bill Barnwell. Bill, how you doing buddy?

Good thing no news is breaking while we're about to record this Mays.

So we had I'd pressed record on my recorder. We're about to dig into our NFC East preview,

which is what we're doing today. We're two days in to our Slated Division previews on the pot.

If you have not listened to NFC North preview that I did with Nate Tice yesterday, highly encourage you guys to go check that out.

As we started recording news comes down from me in Rappaport from others in the NFL media space saying the Jimmy Garapolo is finalizing a new contract that will make him the highest paid back up in the NFL and stick with the 49ers.

Bill Barnwell, what do you think about this?

This is intriguing, Mays. It tells us a lot of things and raises more questions about San Francisco. My instinct is that it could be kind of a poison chalice for the 49ers when I think about this situation here with Jimmy Garapolo because yes.

What the fuck does that mean?

I don't know. That's something the people say when they do something and it seems like it's a good idea, but it's a bad idea.

Sure. That's a kind of that old chestnut. The poison chalice. You have to admit it's a kind of chalice. Some chalice is our poisons by definition. People don't care about Jimmy Garapolo in these days.

Jimmy Garapolo. I assume there was no trademark of Jimmy Garapolo, which is why would there be?

Well, we're going to talk about a team in the Washington commanders that traded for Carson Wentz and gave up way more than they had to and Barnabaric came out and said, if you paid for a guy and he's good, it doesn't matter what you paid for him.

So teams think about quarterbacks differently than they think about any other position in pretty much sports. That's why I would say why there might have been a market for him, but there wasn't, which is fine.
