All right, little known fact.

I am actually, I don't like being late.

Like, I got a thing about it. And yesterday I was disappointed and I was concerned about today's episode. I didn't know if you were going to be here. I know. You were supposed to do total access with me. And then plane issues, traveling cross country, I'm happy you're here with me today. I'm happy to be here, Yams. Mama, we made it. I finally made it to work. Hey, man, but you know,

we had a bathroom issue on one of the planes. You got to get the bathroom fixed, okay, for four-hour flight, so I'm glad it got fixed. Hold on. Is that why they... That's why, yes, it was a bathroom issue. We can't go across the country without the bathroom working. Yams, come on, man. Okay, that's another episode of NFL explained. I got to tell you, we can combine this topic specifically about

chart. working yams come on man okay that's that's another episode of NFL explain i got to tell you we can

there nonetheless it is a brand new edition of the NFL explained podcast mike yam it's my guy

m rob yes there's a lot to get to. And in fact, we actually

have a timely episode this week. You know, a lot of times I was asked, hey, like, send us your questions and, of course, continue to do that. I got a couple others last couple days. We'll get to all that. But we decided because of news that doesn't happen all that often, in real time, we would react to it accordingly here on the podcast.

And if you don't know the news this week,

week floor, doesn't happen all that often in real time. We would react to it accordingly here on the podcast.

And if you don't know the news this week, week 14 of the NFL season, the Titans actually

fired their general manager, John Robinson. So we thought we'd take a look at the role of a GM,

explain what they do, the day-to-day kind of stuff, and why it's really significant, and why you

don't see moves like this all that often. And by the way, just in case you're wondering, do, the day-to-day kind of stuff, and why it's really significant, and why you don't

see moves like this all that often. And by the way, just in case you're wondering, yeah, the Titans actually still in first place in the AFC South. It is, although maybe more of an indictment on some of the play by some of the teams in that division. But nonetheless, man, there's still a four-seat in the post picture. And made this change. They're a four seed.

You usually don't see a first place team in a division, fire their general manager. But at the end of the day, it leads me to think that maybe there was a little bit more to this decision. Because, again, the general manager, he sets the vision for the entire organization. So to see this happen. Oh, and then on a day after, A.J. Brown, who was with that team, just went off, eight receptions, 120 yards. I mean, could it be a coincidence? I don't know. Maybe. I don't think so. Okay. I was just going to let that one sit because I know what you told me before we started this show, and it was more on that line. You know, it's interesting because I came in yesterday to do the show and once again, I was disappointed you weren't here, but I'm kind of pulling the curtain back. You know, we got all these like insiders, we got people that are like tapped in. We got former players, like dudes who just know people. And no one really knows because they all said the same thing. There's probably something

that we don't know about here because of the timing of all this stuff. I can't tell you how many

people I interact with over the last couple days that are sort of saying the same exact thing.
