0:00.0	Welcome to the Peter King Podcast where I try to educate you about football and
0:08.4	maybe throw in a little bit of life stuff on the side and this week it's going to be all football. We're going to be
0:15.3	doing a preview of the two championship games, the AFC and NFC games in
0:21.4	Kansas City and New Orleans respectively with a guy I
0:25.9	admire a lot and really really respect his opinion
0:29.7	Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com.
0:33.0	And later in the show will be joined by Joe Banner,
