| 0:50.5 | I'm your host, Vincent McCogliano of The Athletic, and we have a jam-packed episode for you today. |
| 0:58.5 | I know I probably say that all the time, but today there is just so much to cover. |
| 1:03.0 | It feels like including an interview that I'm really excited about, which is going to preview a story of mine and my colleague, Shana Goldman's, that will be coming |
