And of course, at 6 o'clock Eastern, it is the NBC Sports Now Power Hour. And we will get more into that a little bit later in the show. Today's crew, and february both off today i'm assuming this will be their last friday off for the remainder of football season and maybe for the remainder of their lives based off of the busyness that is about to ensue over the next six months now i'm just kidding i'm sure they'll get a day off at some point uh but bill zimmerman r ap is here pulling all the strings our VP mike mike brown doing his thing as well, Sean Hall on social. And you see him, you know him, you love him. Double duty. He is the, I guess what, Sean Figgins, perhaps, of the BetMGM network. He is Jay Casson. It is a pleasure to be with you in the saddle today, my friend. I said this. I'm on so many of the shows on this network that I forget

what show I said it on at this point. I'm like the Ben Zobrist of this network at this point.

I'm just playing every position, every utility spot, wherever you need me, pinch it, off the

bench, starting, wherever we're at, I'll be there and hopefully I get a ring out of it at some point.

Well, I remember that's the Sean Figgins is because i remember when i used to play fantasy baseball back in like the

early 2000s i remember he was the one guy where you can literally start him at every single position

except for catcher you can go first base second base third base short stop outfield um so yes

ben's oberst another fantastic example the utility man. We will talk a lot of baseball today. We have a stack show. Absolutely loaded. Great job by REP Bill Zimmerman getting us what really is going to be like a football Friday. We will get some Bob Nightingale action coming up at the top of the next hour. We'll get our MLB fix. We'll get some picks from, of course, the baseball world coming up a little bit later in the show. Jake

will give us his baseball thoughts as well as we are now kind of rounding third, heading for home down the stretch of the regular season. But then it's all ball all the time. 420 Eastern, Christian Kirby, a film guy network producer. This guy is a certified ball knower, writes up a lot of Georgia

stuff for Sports Illustrated. SEC expert will get his thoughts, of course, on the southeastern

conference and everything going on down there in Athens. Five o'clock Eastern. Jen Piashenti,
