I'm Daniel Alarcon, and this is my friend, is much more famous than I am. I wouldn't go that far, but I'm John Green, co-host of the podcast The Away End with my old friend Daniel. On our podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important.

Listen to the away end with Daniel Auerkone and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Parking here, everybody. It's time for the tailgate. It's me, Joey P. Joe Pee is a Pia. And today we're going to take a look at some of the teams in the NFL. What free agency has done to them? Have they improved? Have they separated from the pack? Are they now the new favorites for their division? Are they going to win a Super Bowl? And our Super Bowl winners going to take a step back. We're going to talk about all that stuff here with my best boys here. We've got Andrew Erickson, Mr. Big Pot Energy, and Jake Sealy dealing with his dogs, who don't want to go out in the rain to take a crap, and Jake has desperately been pleading with them to do so. Jake Sealy from the athletic, by the way, as he's throwing out doggy treats here.

High class here. Is that what you're doing? I hope those are doggy treats. I don't know what

you're throwing. I hope they didn't. Nicole's really hungry.

Yikes. I can feel those divorce papers coming already. Jake Sealy, did the dogs do their business

before the show and the business of the NFL still ongoing, isn't it? Yeah, the business of the, yes, they did their business. Theirs are done unlike the free agency that still might filter through. All right, we are going to break down all these teams here today. And again, we're going to play a little game, too. I want to do this too.

We'll do this in the middle of the show. We'll do the game in the middle of the show for those people who are new to Jake Sealy,

get to know him a little bit better, as well as I do. Andrew Erickson, I know you are soon to be a dog parent yourself, too. I know that's very exciting.

Are you aware of how much shedding the golden retriever is going to do in your new house?

Oh, my God.

We are aware.

That's why I've been studying up. We've been reading not, it's not by Derek Brown, but the puppy primer. Great novel. The puppy, great book. Not by our Derek Brown, but still a very good secondary primer. Is that really a novel? Or like how to books novels? Textbook. I listen to it on Audible. So I guess it's not really a book for me. But it's good listening. And yeah, they're teaching me everything I need to know. There you go. Can you listen to books on tape? Joe? Can you listen to audio books? My daughter does, who's a big reader. And look, she reads books, but then sometimes she'll read the book and listen to it at the same time. Certain books, too, which is a whole other thing. Like, I don't know if that's... That's actually the best way to, like... Is that really the best way to, like, remember it forever? Does it still count if you listen to a book to tell people that you read the book that's a

big question i can't do it like i i i find myself within five minutes being like wait i wasn't

i missed it the last minute i'm i got to go back it's like i'm the same way the one time i tried to

do it i was the same way i would drift off in a couple minutes and i'm like well what just

happened i'd have to go backwards bogman's a big audible guy. Like, he's listening to the books and he's listening to stuff like on drives and stuff like that. He's very big into that. So I think it counts as reading the book. You're listening to the book. You're getting the story the same way if you're actually paying attention. The way you and I do with Jake doesn't count. But you know what else counts? Every single subscriber here to the tailgate, our new show here.

Again, this is NFL talk with a little bit more fun, as you can tell. It's a little looser. It's not quite fantasy pros. It's not quite betting pros. It's just football. It's just football. And the boys hanging out talking a little ball here. and we want you to subscribe to the new channel.

We got some great videos out there.

We did a mock draft with Trevor Sycambe from PFF.

We had Lequan Jones on too recently. talking a little ball here, and we want you to subscribe to the new channel. We got some great videos out there. We did a mock draft with Trevor Sycambe from PFF.

We had Lequan Jones on too, recently, too, to kind of recap all the winners and losers or free agency. But we're going to take a different approach today with Jake Sealy, my good friend. We're going to talk about the AFC teams first. And let's start with the Buffalo Bills here. Like the big move here for the Buffalo Bills, Jake, was clearly the DJ Moore acquisition.
