About this episode
Football is finally back! Fitz & Whit kick off Week 1 with their good friend Ted Karras, who shares an inside look at Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ renewed sense of urgency. Plus, Ted tells the story of his unforgettable first workout with Bill Belicheck, getting the “baby powder treatment” from Tom Brady, and even how he saved his teammate’s life.
Then the guys make some bold predictions. Fitz makes his case for how the Dolphins could go 0-17. Whit shares his belief in Cincinnati making the AFC Championship. But ultimately it comes down to which teams they need to “test drive” in Week 1 before taking them off the lot.
They recap their quick trip to Buffalo and look ahead to the (likely shirtless) adventures that are to come as they kick off Thursday Night Football next week.
Football is officially back. Let’s go!
