0:14.7	Yes, sir, yes sir. Welcome to the Yahoo Sports and the Field Podcast. I'm Yahoo Senior NFL writer Torez Paler. Here's my main man and fellow senior
0:17.8	NFL writer Charles Robinson. And Charles, E.P. and Chris Fowler said that the
0:22.1	possibility of a 2020 college football season being played from February to May of 2021 is gaining momentum.
