0:00.0	Week 10 is upon us. We have in a second to waste. We have to get to the first ever mid-season
0:06.2	awards for the NFL, I mean, but we don't live life fully in the rearview mirror. No, no, no,
0:11.7	no. Philosophically, we like to look ahead to the near horizon. That's why we have our week
0:16.2	10 picks up coming for you as well with Mike Ryan, 10-day Tony and the fellas. Stick around. You just have to sit through like a three-second intro here. Start the show.
0:29.8	Yes, hi, and hello, my fellow football Americans. welcome to NFL Week 9. Welcome to episode 23 of
0:40.8	Football America. We're presented as ever by Draft Kings. Draft Kings, the crown is yours. We have
0:46.6	Mike Ryan and 10-day Tony coming in here for the mid-season awards, NFL style, the first ever
0:53.1	awards of their kind on this show and in the history
0:56.9	of mankind. Also, we've got the NFL week 10 countdown, best games of the weekend. Who's going to
1:02.9	win them and buy how much? Did I say at the top of the show, NFL week nine? I think I did,
1:07.0	but there's no time to go back now. We're pressing forward. First, let's honor Gino and
1:12.5	Mike, Mike and Gino Fuentes, the person who wore this episode's number best today. That number is
1:17.9	23. So I think we can have a pretty quick conversation here. I'm going with Mike Jordan.
1:22.9	Played for the Bulls, the Wizards. You probably remember him. Anyone else? Who from pro football is the best one really Devin Hester? I guess that's kind of good if you're a fan of the U. He's going to get the Hall of Fame representation there. Isn't Devin Rest, Devin Hester? Devin Hester, I feel like owns a lot of awards that because of new kickoff rules will never be broken. Am I right about that?
1:44.3	Ooh, hot take. I like that. That's probably true. Found a good take after pronouncing his name the way that Scooby-Doo would. A driven restaurant. I'm going to wait. Is Christian McCaffrey? Is he 23? Is Christian McCaffrey? No, 21. No, 21. Is he 21? Is he 21? No, he's 22. He might be 23.

2:03.6	Do you guys host a football show?
2:04.9	What's the football? What is? This is what's going wrong in football America. LeBron? Yeah, this is what we do on the show. Mike Ryan. We're getting to you in just one second. We have football expert Raymond Green, Don Mattingly, the late great Ryan Sandberg, Kirk Gibson, who
