What's up, everyone? Welcome back to the Charter podcast brought to you by St. Xavier University.

I am Ruthie Polinsky back in action after missing last week, joined by my pal, my co-host, my friend, Alex Shapiro.

Great to be back with you, sir. It is an exciting week in the NFL, never a dull moment, because just when you think things are getting slow, all the owners, all the GMs, all the head coaches, they're all in Palm Beach at the Breakers, living a real rough life.

Yeah, seems so tough. Just getting together and debating, I guess, rules and all sorts of stuff.

Having to do media, but like you're also in like the most gorgeous hotel in America, maybe, on the beach and like the beautiful sunshine.

It's fine, we're not envious.

No, but listen, this is a fun week because you get to see sort of the interactions in a less stressful setting than you would see during

the season when games matter and there are wins and losses and these coaches are competitors.

Like you kind of get to see them interact as friends.

And this is why the most exciting part of the week happens right away, Alex Shapiro.

And we got it a little sooner than usual this year.

Usually this happens on day two, but yesterday was the head coach photo.

And let me tell you something.

I look forward to this thing every year.

It's like Christmas morning when this thing comes up.

There's a little bit of disappointment

in my soul this year, and I'll tell you why. Why? I first want to get your reaction to the photo.

Obviously, these guys look just dapper. They're looking sharp, ready to go and debate all these

things that they're going to talk about

ben jonson making his debut in the coach's photo that's obviously exciting he looks great

that ben looked great he looked comfortable yeah but also off to the side you know doesn't want to

be the center of attention he's just like doing his thing i would love to see how they figure out
