Welcome into the NFL report.

James Palmer with you.

And look who it is.

It's Jane Slater filling in for Steve Weich on this Thursday edition.

Thursdays are always great, Jane.

You picked a perfect day to come in here and sub-ad for Steve Weich on this Thursday edition. Thursdays are always great, Jane. You picked a perfect day

to come in here and sub ad for Steve Weich. Well, this has been one of my favorite shows on our

platforms that we've rolled out. It really allows us to sort of deep dive and open up our note.

But because you know this, James, as someone who's out in the field, we get so much information

and only so much time

in the course of a show. So so much to talk about, particularly when you consider the fact that we're

already almost through a quarter of the football season, find that hard to believe.

Yeah, big time. And if I got some baggy eyes and you're watching this, I was up late at Red Rocks

watching Burke Kreacher just dominate two hours plus of comedy. He was just like, I'm emptying the notebook. I'm at Red Rocks, baby. This is the greatest venue in America. I'm going to go forever, and he did go forever. Thankfully, my sister-in-law was watching our son Nixon for an extended period of time as we rolled in well after midnight. But we're going to power through because I'm dynamite.

I'm excited for this show. We got Pep Hamilton, Jane, who's been an offensive coordinator or quarterback's coach in this league for a long, long time. He has a unbelievable take on the evolution of the quarterback position in this league over the last couple of years. Baldi joins us like he does every Thursday. We're going to have Judy Batista talking about the

Nathaniel Hackett Bowl between the Jets and the Broncos. M.J. Acosta Ruiz is going to join us as well, talk some international games. But let's get to the big one. This is a playoff game in week 5, Jane. That doesn't happen very often between the 49ers and the Cowboys. We know the history these two teams have. When I say a playoff game in week five, it's a measuring stick game in the eyes of the man himself, Jerry

Jones.

They are right now, probably the most likely team to go in Super Bowl. But in order for them

to get there, they've got to go by us, hopefully two times,

if that's the way it falls in the playoffs, and we're in the playoffs, of course.
