0:10.0	Welcome to NFL Daily, where we literally heard a man on the street yell.
0:14.9	Brock Purdy got paid last night.
0:17.3	I'm Greg Rosenthal.
0:18.1	I'm here in the Chris Wesleying podcast studio with my friend Jordanig of The Athletic. And yes, there has never been a show in this studio that has
