The Around the NFL Podcast

Looks better than Grog in a Turtle neck

Welcome to another edition of The Around the NFL podcast. My name is Greg Rosenthal and I am here in a room

Overstuffed with heroes Mark Sessler, Chris Wesseling, and back in the studio Patrick Claybon

Yes, it must be the all season baby

I didn't want to say it, I didn't want to say it because it's not really it's not right

It's not fair that that in first things that aren't true Patrick Claybon

But Dan Handes are our great host is with his family

Near the coal mines right now and who would we who would we ask first you know for the first you know to kick off the off season and Patrick Claybon

Well I mean the joke would be that you would ask several people

We didn't we didn't we haven't had you in the studio since you've been you know rocking a very thick dark beard

There's a lot of you have a new look and on it's going very well for you and people people seeing you on television can't help a comment when they observe

Yeah, I think it's because I was so boring probably before and that's what and that was the inspiration

It was like wow I'm nearly invisible and so I didn't shave out of sheer laziness and just

I was in a dark place wow that you feel seen yeah, I feel seen I see why people like do things and wear fancy clothes and everything because people Greg did not grow a beard because he thought he was boring

That I can promise you that reminds me of a theory I heard someone say about a relatively prominent person not going to say who that wears a mustache

And someone basically just said like well I'll try to figure out if they wear a mustache it's kind of like a giveaway like people that have mustache is they don't have anything else going on

That they just kind of have this mustache because it's like hey there's something different about me like they're ultimately hiding in empty vessel

In 2020 not we're not talking like 1968 or something feels like a lot to read in yeah to a mustache but

Sweeping generalization to some degree these are the types of things you can think about in the offseason like that we can just take a little breath and contemplate what facial hair

Don't you guys feel better mark and and West like no right now then like last week I mean what in what's our just it and Monday even yeah

Oh, it's night and day I thought you were asking a deeper question now I mean feel better like not like a weights off our shoulders
