Yeah, I think the NFC's got some wiggle room at the very bottom of it. You know, I wouldn't be shocked if Seattle got in and Washington didn't. But I think the Lions, Tampa Bay now because Kirk, Cousins, Philly, the Rams, Minnesota, Green Bay feel pretty solid to me. You know, Washington, Seattle, I think Seattle's got, in my opinion, the better roster than Washington. I think Washington's got, to me, the better quarterback. And I think that means a lot. Maybe a better, you know, I'll just say that I think, I think Washington's got the better quarterback. I think Seattle's got the better roster. So that one I think is up for grab. I think the AFC is done. Anthony Richardson's not winning three straight and they have a Indy's got a better roster than Cincinnati. And I don't think Burrow, I mean, Burrow's in this spot for a reason. You can't overcome the worst defense in the league.

Great commercials. But did you know that Aflac is a leader in supplemental insurance? That's what the Duck is quacking about, helping cover gaps. So like, this is how I think of Aflac. Let's say you have an all pro linebacker. Anytime there's a gap in the defensive line, you know he's going to fill it, no problem because he's an all pro. Aflac does the same thing. If there's a gap in your health insurance, Aflac wants to better protect you by helping close the gap. You're sick, you're injured. Aflac can pay cash to help fill the gaps your health insurance can leave behind. You can use the cash, put it towards whatever you need. Rent, mortgage payments, medical bills. It's completely up to you. Look, life can be tough. Fortunately, Aflac is tougher. I mean, we're talking middle linebacker tough. To learn more about how Aflac can help fill the gaps health insurance can leave behind, visit aflac.com what's on your list of popular game day foods?

I want to talk about something that's kind of blown up as a big story. I think I addressed it Monday or Tuesday. Got a lot of play and the NBA ratings are down 50% since 2012. It's a thing. So the NBA in my opinion is having their Hollywood moment. Hollywood is shrinking. Streamers have a lot to do with that and AI probably providing some discomfort as well. So the NBA is having its Hollywood moment. There's there's a big reshaping of Hollywood consumers in the NBA and in Hollywood. And the NBA is not exactly sure how it's going to land. I thought it was very interesting. This week, Celtics head coach Joe Missoula was asked about watching the NBA games. He said, I don't watch him. Oh, I know there's many people blaming the media. There's many people blaming the nostalgia, the old heads. But I thought LeBron James was incredibly candid when he was asked about some All Star Game changes coming up. Listen to this.
