0:00.0	Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the thunder no.
0:06.0	On this wide Wednesday, January 8th, 2025, this program starts now.
0:13.0	Football!
0:14.0	It is wonderful and today we're going to be giving out some awards.
0:17.0	Yes, it is award season here at the program and there will be two different styles of awards given out.
0:22.6	First, there will be the trenches. The award for the big guys who have dominated all season.
0:27.6	We'll have the top five offensive lines from the season and then we'll have the best tackle, best guard, and best center in the eyes of a man who played in the NFL for 12 NFL seasons. He was a coach. He's a

1:33.8	The game is won in the trenches, and we'll be giving out trenches today.
