| 0:16.7 | podcast today. |
| 0:17.6 | And today we're going to go through each division and we're going to talk about |
| 0:21.7 | which teams are best position to threaten the division winner based on the moves that they made |
| 0:26.8 | via the draft, free agency, and all the things that they've done over the course of the offseason. |
| 0:30.8 | But before we get to that, Lance, how are you doing, my man? |
| 0:34.1 | I'm good. I'm good. I'm catching up a little bit. The wife is out of town. She ran the London Marathon. As you know, we talked about it.
