Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to Indianapolis, Indiana, the home of the combine for the 39th great year.

This Thursday, February 26th starts now.

Football!

It is absolutely spectacular, and we're so incredibly pumped that the next NFL season has already started.

So many things have happened here in Indianapolis, So many different rumors have started and been put out. So many different storylines have developed. And which team is going to walk out of the combine knowing exactly who's going to change their program, change their organization and maybe get them into a Lombardi conversation sooner than later? The world has seen the New England Patriots do what they did with Frabo in his first year up there. Liam Cohen down in Jacksonville, how quick he was able to turn that around. Ben Johnson in Chicago, McDonald and Seattle, two-year turnaround. They win the Super Bowl. The Combine is something that introduces a player to potentially his new home and bosses in a big way. A lot of behind-the-scenes stuff happening around here. Schrager's been talking about it all morning. He talked about how he's got a little different tune about A.J. Brown. Maybe he's listening to some offers. Those are the things that are happening at bars around this beautiful city of Indianapolis, Indiana. I guess, you know, Shra is also is outing the best brunch place in town, probably. Come on. It's unbelievable Shregs. There's some things that need to stay in Fight Club, brother, in this entirety. But Indianapolis is alive. Indianapolis is buzzing. And the NFL is spectacular. We're so incredibly lucky to be here. We got a pack show today. We got Joe Bray and Brand Bean join us out there. We got Nick Casario joining us out of Houston. We got Randy Orton traveling in just a few days before the elimination chamber on Saturday or up there in

Chicago. We got Governor Mike Braun joining us of Indiana. A lot happening in that world.

Are the Chicago Bears coming to Indiana?

Feels like it.

Well, I believe here in Indiana, there's a signing of a bill that's happening that's basically the Bears bill that agrees to all the different tax rights and everything, exemptions that are taking place up in Hammond that could potentially lure the Chicago Bears from the great state of Illinois into the better state of Indiana, potentially.

Now, Illinois is answering today. They're having a vote. They're having a conversation on what

they're going to be able to do for the Chicago Bears. Feels like the Bears team has handled this

perfectly. This is a story as old as time. There's been so many different rumors about ownership or

teams flying over Los Angeles

or San Antonio whenever they're looking for a new stadium.

The threat to leave is always the leverage that the team has against the state whenever

they're trying to get state-funded stuff.

Will Illinois respond to what Indiana offered up?

And if Illinois does respond, does Indiana go back to the drawing board?

We will ask Governor Mike Braun about that today and also ask him about hosting the combine here for 39 straight years. It is a spectacular thing. It is a massive piece of it. We're very thankful that he's stopping by. And then we got Dan Morgan, General Manager of the Carolina Panthers, a man who I don't think has blinked in two years, but he's certainly done something special down in Charlotte. We'll talk about all the other sports that are happening, some magic's happening, obviously, in the NHL, and MBA's got stuff cooking, and the PWHL is obviously on a run. The Boston Fleet are an absolute problem. Duh. The the Minnesota Frost though, kind of getting in there.

Pretty good.

And the team up there in Ottawa and Vancouver and then over in Seattle, they got a good squad as well. So there's magic happening in sports and we can't wait to chitch out about all of it. Joined by an incredible group of boys. Town Diggs is here. We appreciate the hell out of you, Tone. Yesterday you gave us a couple of bets of the day.

You said we think people are going to run fast
