Welcome in the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Hyatt for today. I by Danny, Kelly, and Craig Coral Beck, and we are recording this on Friday, February 20th. You're probably listening to this on Monday, which I think is February 23rd. We're probably on our way for Indianapolis for the NFL Combine. As you listen to this right now, we're going to hand-time the 40-yard dash ourselves in case the lasers are wrong and all that jazz and we're going to see which players are shorter than Craig and we'll move them down DK's board. So we're going to go to the Combine. All the things that matter are obviously all the things about the combine that are pretty stupid. But also, we have an announcement of the name of the show and Craig, who's eating a salad right now live during the show.

You're just eating lunch during the show, Craig.

It's been a crazy day, and I didn't have time to eat.

And it's a big salad bowl.

Nice.

Incredibly capacious bowl, Greg.

But yeah, we are now the ringer NFL draft show where we can eat salads on the show. We're allowing people to eat on the Ringer NFL Draft show. That's our name for a while, a couple months. We're at the Combine. We don't need to be the Ringer Fantasy Football Show right now because we're not. We're talking about the NFL draft. We're talking about free agency, offseason stuff. So for the time being, until early May, we will be the ringer NFL draft show. Nothing changes. Just we can eat salads now. It's like Ocean's 11 where they have Brad Pitt eating in every scene. I love that. It's a good bit. It's so good. Is it just me or does a salad taste better out of a wooden bowl? 100%. It's like a Moscow mule thing. I don't know what it is about the wooden bowl. I usually just eat a delivery salad out of the delivery container. Liz, my wife, likes to put the salad in a bowl. Oh, I'm with Liz on that one, for sure. It's an extra-it-dish-to-wash. Shout-up to my aunt and uncle, Mark and Jackie, who when we got engaged, Jackie and they got us, a different Jackie, it's an aunt Jackie and my fiance Jackie, and they got us a wooden bowl, and now it's like our salad bowl. It's amazing. It's a good bowl. I feel like once you get a nice bowl, it will be in your life for 30 years. Yeah. Especially it wouldn't one. That thing's indestructible. My children

will give their children this exact bowl. Family heirloom. Bowls are, God, bowls are sick. Okay. This is what happens when you turn 30. All the younger people listen to this are probably- You know what else is sick? The NFL Combine. The best. Great sense. Is that right? D.K., a question for you before we begin about the NFL Combine. Do you think the NFL Combine matters more or less than it ever has? Or neither. Is it in the middle? Exactly. It's exactly the same. It matters less, but only very slightly. Because the most important things from the Combine are not the things we really typically talk about that much. What do you mean? The two most important things from the combine are not the things we

really typically talk about that much what do you mean the two most important things from the

combine are not public facing so it's going to be medical stuff where they're this is like

actually the main reason the combine exists is because they would they want to get the all the college

eligible or sorry all the draft eligible players from college together in the same place so they can do medical exams on these guys instead of trying to fly to 350 players home cities and figure it out from there.

So that's why they do this essentially.

So that's the number one most important thing is the medical.

Number two most important thing is the interviews, which happened behind closed doors with the players.

And that is basically the team's trying to get to know these players and see if they're total fucking jackasses, essentially.

And that's really the most important things.

The testing is sort of just like this ancillary cherry on top thing that kind of I think the media hyperfocus

is in on and is not actually that important.

The, yeah, I'll just go because Craig's chewing.

Craig gave you, Craig gave you the whole on stall for me.

I was compelled.
