Hey, everybody.

Thanks for coming back to the Zach Jackson and Friends podcast.

I'm Zach Jackson.

Fly in solo today, Tuesday, January 21st.

Happy day for Ohio State Buckeyes fans.

A cold day for people everywhere.

If you're listening in Northeast Ohio and some surrounding areas, the kids are off school and things are closed because it's freezing.

You matter, as Byrne would say.

So I hope you're staying warm out there.

And I thank you for tuning in.

So this is a solo edition.

Obviously, we're going to talk about Monday night, the Buckees winning the national

championship. Give a rundown of some of the things are coming here as the Browns transition

from the completely dead period. And no, I don't mean the 17 weeks of their season, you know,

to getting back to work where the senior bowl is next week.

And the shrine game then is next week.

And after those, I don't know the exact schedule, but in February is generally when teams gather all their key figures from the Road Scouts all year to the folks higher up in the organization and they go through the heavy lifting draft meetings and start the heavy lifting free agency meetings

or the next phase of them anyway and get close. March 10th is the date that free agency begins

in March 12th is the official league year when things can be processed.

So considering we're headed towards the last week of January and conference championship week, it goes quickly.

So I've been, you know, kind of doing my own inventory and detox from the season, as a lot of you guys have.

Lucky to have escaped with only one broken toe.
