Hello and welcome to my podcast.

And if you are watching us, oh, by the way, the finest list is part of Vampire Media, A.N.P.I.R.E.

If you're watching on YouTube, you can see my guest.

If you're not watching on YouTube, well, it's Nikki Javala from The Washington Post. And I haven't talked to

Nikki on the show for a little while and certainly not since Eric B. Enemy was hired. A lot of

things going on. We're going to cover all the things on the field going on. Not going to get

into ownership stuff. Not today. That's for down the road. Nothing really new happening. All

sorts of rumors floating around out there, keep your

hat on a swivel with all that stuff.

Anyway, Nikki is joining me from the combine where she's been there all week, working

hard for you guys.

And just, first of all, explain what the combine experience is like, because it's definitely,

I guess the definition of a grind.

Explain to people what it's like for a reporter.

It's an experience.

And forgive me, I have a cough because you don't get much sleep on these trips because of the schedule.

So, you know, it's nothing but sort of waiting around, waiting around to see who you see

in lobbies and bars because most of the coaches and executives stay at one or two hotels and

kind of loiter around the lobby of those. So you're kind of sitting around and kind of loiter around the lobby of those.
