This episode is brought to you by NBA 2K27. We just had one of the craziest off-seasons we've had in the NBA, which is perfect for 2K because every 2K season could be one of the craziest off-seasons. The whole league shifted in real life, it could shift to an NBA 2K27. The best place to compete with these new look rosters and also try to figure out who's on what roster. You can see how new teams and new dynamic duos match up. You can play Philly, feel what it's like to have all of their new guys with the old guys and you can also take a struggling franchise to the NBA Finals if you want because it will never happen in real life for a couple of the struggling franchises.

**Cousin Sal** (1:58)
Yeah, baby.

**Bill Simmons** (2:00)
Year 20 for us, Cousin.

**Cousin Sal** (2:01)
Wow.

**Bill Simmons** (2:02)
We have been doing podcasts together about the NFL since the 2007 season. I did the math.
That's 20 years this year.

**Cousin Sal** (2:11)
Hold on a second.

**Bill Simmons** (2:12)
I don't know if we did Over, Unders and 07, but this is our 20th season together. We brought some special guests. Farrah Fawcett is here, one of the people we had our first crushes on.

**Cousin Sal** (2:20)
I think she likes me.

**Bill Simmons** (2:22)
Don Johnson is going to have a couple of cigarettes. And then Joe House in the Craigslist.

**Joe House** (2:26)
Wow, amazing.

**Cousin Sal** (2:27)
He looks so much more alive than Don and Farrah. How did you get that poster?

**Joe House** (2:32)
I wore my goat hat because I'm huddling it on to be here with the goats.

**Cousin Sal** (2:37)
Is Don Johnson going to be upset when we take the Dolphins under two and a half wings?

**Bill Simmons** (2:40)
I think he's going to be upset.
Joe House is going to chime in after every division and then also be a tiebreaker for us every once in a while. All right. We don't want to mess with the format too much, but with that, House is here. We're doing a big Ringer of Fantasy football draft tomorrow. Fantasy has already quit the draft five times, but we're doing that live on Netflix tomorrow. And this is a two-part podcast. This is the NFC, Win Total Over, Unders, and then that's going to be live on Netflix. And then AFC will be running on Sunday. We're doing it all once today.

**Cousin Sal** (3:11)
And this is one of my favorite days of the year.

**Bill Simmons** (3:14)
We have some redemption stuff, Sal. Neither of us did that well last year.
It was off year for us.

**Cousin Sal** (3:18)
A lot of red, a lot of red markings there.

**Bill Simmons** (3:20)
What happened? Because the higher end stuff, I feel like I did well and it was like the middle class, the lower ones killed me.

**Cousin Sal** (3:26)
Well, that's why this is the best day of the year, because we're going to go 32 and after today. And then week one when Cincinnati like actually loses the whole first month. I'm like, oh, what the hell happened?

**Bill Simmons** (3:36)
Well, so big picture. Everyone has too much information now.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:40)
Yeah.

**Bill Simmons** (3:40)
This is the hardest I've ever been. You guys have been doing it on Ring Your Game League Show, Division by Division. You've done a great job of not tipping your hand.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:46)
Thank you.

**Bill Simmons** (3:46)
You and I, the whole summer, really the first year, we've really tried to not tell each other what we're thinking.

**Cousin Sal** (3:53)
Yeah. It's like the bride and groom aren't supposed to see each other the day of the wedding, but ours is for like 60 days.

**Bill Simmons** (3:59)
House knows some of my stuff. We went over some stuff today as we digested Bianco's pizza from last night.
