0:00.0	Hello and welcome to episode 849 of the official Establish the Run.com podcast.
0:17.7	My name is Adam Levittan.
0:18.6	As always, joined by Evan Silva.
0:20.5	And today we have a very,
0:22.6	very, very special guest. We have somehow tricked him into making his second career
0:27.6	appearance on the show is, of course, the legend themselves, Field Yates, a VSPN. Field,
0:33.5	welcome back. How's it going today? It's going great, guys. Eight 49. What a run. Jesus. I mean, before you know, you're going to be at 1,000,

1:08.2	He is also like a legit reporter. You know, he rubbed shoulders with Adam Schaefter.
1:14.5	And he does fantasy. So he's like the perfect guy to bring on the show, especially a month
1:19.7	out from the draft. On today's show, we are going to pick Fields brain on all things NFL draft
1:24.9	and related topics, rumors, prospect evaluation.
1:28.4	Free agents fallout, we will also get to your listener questions.
1:31.2	Appreciate everyone who sent those in.
1:33.8	Before we get us that real quick, football is back.
1:35.9	I don't know if you know this field.
1:36.8	Football is back as a Friday, not the NFL, but the UFL.
