Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me tonight.

It's my good friend Nate Tice. Nate, how you doing, buddy?

I'm doing very well. Airty dozen. Got the week 12, almost all the way through. Now we're getting into the, it really feels like the home stretch, the final third of the season. But Thanksgiving always feels like a new little like boost into the last part of the season, especially when you break up the games. We had a Black Friday game,

which is going to be new. I actually, I actually didn't mind it. I mean, I know just the timing, and I'm not saying the game actually how it played out, but the actual, what that game will consist of on Black Friday football. I didn't mind it, but I'm overall doing very well. How are you, Robert? The only reason it annoyed me is because I always go to the movies on Black Friday.

And I was staring down Napoleon and it's two and a half hour running time. And there was just no good way for me to make it happen because I had to do some sort of physical activity after Thanksgiving. And just my schedule, the way it fell, I was a little frustrated by it. But I'm feeling okay.

I think that Thanksgiving gives a jolt to the NFL schedule.

It does not give a jolt to me.

This is the first day in the last two or three that I have not consumed just a copious amount of butter.

So I'm feeling better today, but it has been a pretty heavy weekend over here at our house. I've had, yeah, I basically had three Thanksgiving, so that was great. Did you see Killers of the Flower Moon? I did see Killers of the Flower Moon. Okay, because that was a long run time. I'm excited to see that, though. With the child, we have to pick and choose our spots. We used to be a weekly movie fairing bunch, so we have to pick or choose our spots three and a half hours a long time that's a long time to ask one of the grandmas to watch so uh we we i can't wait for that one to come out on uh streaming it was what i'm saying something that topped killers of the fire moon today in running time was that wild eagles bills game that we got that i mean it, it's a season-changing game. I think, obviously,

for Buffalo and what they're staring at in the AFC playoff race now, but also just the type of

team that the Eagles are, their ability to kind of fight through some of these mucky games,

which you've consistently seen from them. Where do you want to start with Bill's Eagles?

When you think back on this game in May, as we're thinking about what it meant in the NFL season, where do you want to start with Bill's Eagles? When you think back on this game in May,

as we're thinking about what it meant in the NFL season, where do you think you'll land?

Oh, man, I think Josh Allen's performance. And actually, how the Eagles offense performed
