This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Welcome to NFL Daily, where last Christmas I gave you my heart.

Very next day, you took it away.

I'm Greg Rosenthal.

I'm here in the Chris Wesleyan podcast studio with Jordan Roderig of the athletic. And yeah, that song just is not getting out of my head. So that's why I started the show with it. Jordan Roderig, I've never seen you in such a bubbly, good mood. You are a holiday person and your twin sister is in town. I'm not a holiday person, but this year you are.

Maddie's here. Maddie's here. She's off the boat. I love it. I'm so excited. I'm excited for you.

I can only imagine what it's like to see your twin after a long time connecting. That's what this

time of year is all about. And so we're going to try to be

concise. It's tough. Our producer had some doubts that we can get through this show in under an

hour. But I believe in us. We started this show, NFL Daily, our first ever show. You were

there with me and Patrick Claibon. And we talked about what's going to give

us joy in the 2024 season. So now as we're winding down, we're going to look back a little bit

and just quickly go through the AFC. We each have teams and talk about what brought us some joy

in this season. We're also going to preview the Netflix games on Christmas. That feels like it's

just about to start. And then TNF, Seattle and Chicago, we'll talk about that. And then hopefully,

our elves are working on a Zoom connection with one of our favorite people to end the show.

So I hope we can make it happen and maybe we'll even hear from some of our listeners. You ready to do it? And we both wore our hopefully special guest's favorite color because it's the color of her football team. There you go. Greg and I accidentally, if you're watching on YouTube, you'll notice Greg and I actually were accidentally were the same outfit today. I mean, it's sweater season. Like you got swoop Like, you've got swoopies, I've got swoopies, you know. And, but I will say, the person who topped us both in the outfits today is our producer, Eric, behind the glass, who's wearing, what I'm told, is his second best Santa Cat sweater. Yes.

I actually have two cat sweaters with Christmas hats,

and this is number two of my... Those are beautiful Santa Cats.

And one thing I love about Eric and Randy,

who has moved on to a better job is they love all animals. They're not trying to divide the world between cats and dogs. Like, you're for both, right there? Yes, I actually have a dog, no cats. But I grew up in a house full of them. I had like four dogs and two cats at one time. My wife is allergic, so I can't have a cat. I'm team cat and dog.
