But initial thoughts right here, we're going to start with a couple tight ends on this episode.

And if you're watching this, obviously we're in the middle of an ice storm. So we're going to break it up a little bit. So we're going to talk about these tight ends. And then you're going to keep watching and it's going to be wearing different stuff and the internet might be different. Stick with us, folks.
