Hello, media consumers.

Welcome to a very special edition of the press box.

It's Brian Curtis.

It's producers Bruce Baldwin and Isaiah Blakely and joining me here at Ringer

headquarters in Los Angeles. It's my two favorite people from the Ringer fantasy football show,

who are named Danny. It's Danny Hifitz. It's Danny Kelly. Guys, welcome to the press box.

Thank you. Thank you for having us. Yeah, I thought you were going to just throw Craig under the bus there, but I'm glad you said it was your two favorite people named Danny on the fantasy football show. I had to specify. This is your debut, D.K. Yeah. Highfits came on for at least one contrived segment once upon a time. Yeah, I think we drafted Super Bowl cliches or NFL draft cliches,

something like that. You and I have had a lot of phone conversations over the years and that kind of

blends into podcasting for me. So I couldn't quite differentiate. I can never remember what we said on

the show versus what we talked about offline. So I'm just like, you know, it's a very 2026 problem to have. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so today we're going to talk Epstein files. We're going to talk Arctic security. Talk about the obliteration of the Washington Post Sports section. Just kidding. We're going to talk about Super Bowl. We're not copy editing all of Epstein's emails. We're not. All the times you had four spaces in a row. Some of those were just tough reads for the typos alone. No, we're not going to talk about that. We're talking about storylines. Remember when Peter King was writing MMQB and he would say in a very, here you go away, like someone serving at McDonald's, here are the storylines. I was found that so funny because I'm like, if it's a great storyline, shouldn't you just write the story?

It's kind of like... like someone serving at McDonald's. Here are the storylines. I was not that so funny because I'm like, if it's a great storyline,

shouldn't you just write the story?

Kind of like breaking the fourth wall and looking directly into the camera or something.

It was for football writing.

Yeah.

But Super Bowl time.

Reporters are desperate.

So I thought we would collect all these things and do what I call the Super Bowl of Super Bowl storylines.

Well done.

Guys ready?

How'd you come up with that?

That's SEO gold right there.
