| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:13.2 | Welcome to NFL Daily, where the show's title kind of overrides the concept of Labor Day. |
| 0:19.2 | I'm Greg Rosenthal and pleased to be joined by now a repeat |
| 0:24.3 | guest. Hopefully we can make this as regular as possible. Ali Connolly, who does great work over at the |
| 0:32.0 | Reed Optional on Substack. Him and John Ledyard do a great podcast there, renamed, and that's gotten going for the year. |
| 0:42.7 | You know him and love him. He was on the Meena Kimes show last week. Welcome, Molly. |
| 0:47.2 | Thank you for having me. This is a huge, huge week for the north of England. You have me doing |
| 0:51.2 | NFL Daily, Oasis is reform. There's just big news popping off |

| 1:39.8 | the last month, but especially over the last week, like going through the league as a whole |
| 1:43.5 | and predicting and season. |
| 1:45.4 | And it's like these games are here. We're at these games and we really haven't gone through |
| 1:50.7 | the matchups of week one. And week one is a very different week in the NFL. You know this because |
