From Scott in Chevy Chase, Scott writes, Kevin, it's the most excited I've been since Coach Joe came back in 2004.

And thanks to the open to the show, I had to take the day off from work.

Your Tuesday after Labor Day show beginning is my favorite show every year.

Thank you, Scott, for that.

Yeah, I get fired up too.

It's like we can really start focusing on the season,

focusing on the big picture of the season.

We'll have lots of picks coming up this week.

Previewing the division, we talked about it a little bit last hour. Yeah, I love this week. Iviewing the division. We talked about it a little bit last hour.

Yeah, I love this week.

I do.

And Hope Springs Eternal, you know, for pretty much 25 to 27 NFL teams every year.

We were in that boat, despite knowing deep down that as long as Dan owned the

team, we weren't going to have a legitimate shot to do anything great. I think most years, it was like,

you know what, we're zero and zero, and it's the NFL. Anything can happen. And I think going into each NFL season,

you know, 25 teams can comfortably say, you know what, this could be our year if things

break right. You know, I was on a show last week and somebody said, give me the one or two teams

that have no prayer this year. And I thought about it and somebody said, give me the one or two teams that have no prayer this year.

And I thought about it and I said, I guess the Jets and the Browns, maybe, have no prayer.

Indy, maybe.

It's hard to come up with a list of teams that have the saints.

It's hard every year.
