0:30.0

0:39.1

0:43.0

into here shortly. I mean, just we say it every week that it's a wild day of chaos throughout

0:48.8

the entire NFL, but this one just takes the cake. And of course, it being in the first week of

0:54.1

the fantasy playoffs, I'm sure a number of folks are probably just, I don't know, probably sunk into the floor or something along those lines. But happy to be here healthy with you, but hopefully everybody else's fantasy rosters are also able to say the same. Yeah. Physically, I'm here mentally.

2:21.3
