Welcome back to another episode of the Adam Schaefter podcast.

0:12.3

And on today's episode, we will be joined by ESPN's new college football, senior writer,

0:19.5

a man who will be doing occasional stories on college game

0:23.1

day, who will be visible on ESPN digital platforms, radio TV, Pete Fammle, who joins ESPN

0:30.4

after his time at Yahoo, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, and he is a distinguished reporter,

0:37.3

a man that will be bringing much of the

0:39.1

college football world to you in the coming years. And we will look ahead to this weekend's

0:45.2

divisional playoff matchups, Bengals at Titans, 49ers at Packers, Rams at Buccaneers, and Bills at Chiefs. But before we go on to those previews,

0:59.7

and Pete Thammel, first a little look back at the events that occurred this weekend during

game so that I can see that 49ers Cowboys game. I booked the flight around the broadcast

1:53.8

of the 49ers Cowboys game that Troy Aikman, as we know, didn't get to broadcast this past weekend.

2:00.7

And so they had a 3.30 flight on JetBlue,

2:04.3

which I was thrilled to book across the country from New York to L.A. And so the Sunday countdown show

2:10.6
