The weather. Tomorrow, expect a... Biting cold front. Mmm, how naughty. I wonder what I'll be wearing or taking off. The night will be wild and untamed. Expect heavy, lashing rain that'll soak you to the skin. By Monday, temperatures will rise, slowly but surely, reaching their peak in the afternoon.

Fly cheaply to Turkey with Sun Express.

Sun Express, non-stop sunshine. Hello everyone and welcome into this edition of DeCecho Daily.

I am your host, Andrew DeCecho, and we are continuing my way too early 53-man roster projection.

0:51.5

Yesterday, I did the offensive side and I had the Eagles keeping 25 players.

0:57.4

On the defensive side, it gets a little interesting, and I think you'll see that there's a

lot of intriguing young talent there, and they are a little bit deeper in some areas than we

1:06.2
