[intro music] Hello, and welcome to the TFO Football Podcast. I'm Joe Devine, and I'm, and I... Oh, I forgot what I say. And today I'm delighted to be joined by John McKenzie.
John McKenzie· Guest0:13
Hello, Joe.
Joe Devine· Host0:13
Now, welcome to Ring For Analysis. Uh, here's how Ring For Analysis works. I read an article published by The Athletic, and John rings a bell that sounds like this [bell ringing] when he wants me to pause so that he can offer some analysis.
