Greg Bedard: I just hate the spot foul. I just I hate it in the pro game. Hate it.

Greg Bedard: Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert.

1.What’s the best thing you ever did during a bye week?
Greg Bedard: Nothing really comes to mind. I mean, normally I use it just to rest. Like a long weekend. But, you know, living in Florida when I did, probably playing golf. Just chill out, playing golf.
