The Around the NFL podcast is in a podcast marriage made to last.

Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast.

Presented by New Era.

My name is Dan Hansis, joined in a room filled with heroes.

Mark Sessler, Chris

Wessling, and Greg Rosenthal. What's up, boys? Hey, Dan. What's up?

Ho! We're in a marriage with who? With each other. This is a marriage. Let's face it.

It's built to last. 700 plus episodes deep, five years now. And it is we had a conversation our friend uh a colleague downstairs

james co of the NFL fantasy realm is leaving the company uh after several years and we're

going to miss them and best luck in the future and it did mark and i were talking to to co and uh mark

and i've been here since 2010 i think you guys

since what 2012 i was 12 i was yeah right at the beginning of 2013 we are and this comes on the

same day that one of the the the most important well important maybe is not the word but one of the

most visible newspapers where i grew up the new y York Daily News just slashed their sports department from 35 employees down to eight or something insane like that and cut loose a lot of like gifted beat writers and stuff.

And we are very lucky to have this amount of time that we've had together.

Let it be known. When I arrived here before, Dan, let's start right there, by a couple weeks. You did. You got me. And when Dan arrived, he had no idea how the computer systems worked. And I had to spend an afternoon sitting down. We don't understand. Basic technology. This is how our content management system works.

And without me, Dan, I think your career would have gotten off to a rough start.

The lockout happened soon after and they cleaned out a lot of people.

You probably would have been one of the people.

They said, this guy's just not getting the technology.
