Hey Girl! Recorded Wednesday morning, so this is the most real-time we've ever been. Victoria and JoJo start with the breaking news: Brandon Aiyuk filed his reinstatement paperwork, and we recap the whole saga. Then Victoria asks Claude whether injuries are really worse this year (the most players on IR in 11 seasons), and we get into Caleb Williams getting fined over $35,000 for wearing the cleats he wants, plus why turf toe is the worst named injury in sports. We cover the Bears beating the Super Bowl champs, Jeffery Simmons' bright sleeves, the false start that ended the Chiefs game, Gardner Minshew's fourth quarter comeback, Tampa winning in a torrential downpour without completing a pass, and the Chargers' 27 straight drives without a touchdown. Plus the NFC North, Jack Campbell, Christian Watson running back on the field after a trip to the hospital, being the only woman engineer in the room, and the moms who just ran the NYC Marathon.
