What is good, everybody. Welcome to Stats and Cohn and the Gold Standard Podcast Network. I'm Rob Stats-Garer. He's Grant Cohn. What's going on, sir? I'm just drinking my coffee

here in my house. Really looking forward to talking to you about football, man. Let's do it.

It's so weird. You're sitting there drinking your coffee. I just finished my lunch.

That's the thing about time zones. It's a big country. You're on one coast. I'm on the other

coast. It's a whole different world.

And yet we're talking to each other. And that's the beauty of technology. What a world we live in.

What a time to be alive. What a time for the 49ers. I was thinking about this today, Grant.

Like the eyes of the entire NFL world are going to be on Niners Eagles this weekend.

Like everybody, every fan, regardless of who you root for, everyone is paying attention

to that game.

Whatever happens, that's the game that's leading all the shows on Monday morning.

And that is a cool thing.

And that is not always the case with the 49ers.

And we remember the bad old days.

And I just think we need to take a

second before we get into the preview and all that stuff. That's pretty damn cool. It is cool.

And it's a marquee matchup and it's like you don't have to be ashamed of the Niners quarterback.

Like when they put it when they put the the graphic on the screen, it's not going to be Brock Purdy, right? It's going to be Jalen Hertz against Christian McCaffrey.

It's how it always is.

But still, in the past, it would put anyone but Jimmy Garabolo up there.

And it was like, hey, you know, maybe the Niners can win in spite of this guy.

And it was like, everyone knew he, you can appreciate aspects of their team, but like, you're going to have to watch Jimmy Garoppel play a lot of football.
