00:00If we got to 18 and 2, that's not an unreasonable thing.

00:06The other thing it does, which I thought you were going to, is that ends up on President's

00:10Day weekend, which is a three-day weekend, which makes the Sunday night, and then you

00:14have Monday off.

00:16Right.

00:17So the Super Bowl would then be moved back another week in February, would probably be

00:22played around like February, you know, without knowing the exact calendar, 15, 16, 17, 18,

00:27right in that neighborhood.

00:29And then you would have the Super Bowl on Sunday, and you'd have President's Day on

00:32Monday, and people have been clamoring for years, why isn't the Monday after the Super

00:36Bowl a national holiday so that everybody can recover?

00:39And that would be, like, that would be perfect.

00:42Yeah, but I need the NFL to move up, not move back.

00:46I need the NFL to start now.

00:49I want Game 1 August 3rd.

00:52I want Game 1 August 8th.

00:53I don't want Game 1 to be late after Labor Day, like, let's just bring it up a little

00:57bit.

00:58I mean, it's a long time between MLB all-star break and NFL kickoff.

01:01And I know you get, you know, the postseason run there in September, but from all-star

01:06break MLB to NFL kickoff, that's a long time, man.

01:11And if you're only going to give one preseason game and nothing, we're just going to talk

01:15about practice.

01:16Preseason games.

01:17If there, if there, and no one plays in Game 1.

01:20So it's basically like, yeah, I don't know.

01:22I don't like it.

01:23But if it's a preseason game that they take out, you're going to lose another week and

01:27a half to lead up to the season.

01:30So if people are starting to report at the end of July for the Hall of Fame game, that

01:34game is going to get moved back.

01:36So then training camp starting is going to get moved back because the players would then

01:40be complaining for a longer summer.

01:42There's no way that this deal happens if you don't throw in a second bye week.

01:45I'll put my foot down on that one.

01:47I don't.

01:48Right.

01:49Oh, but the math, the math would tell you that there probably would be a second bye

01:53week.

01:54That's how they get to president's day.

01:55Yeah.

01:56They have to throw in a second bye week and they got to get rid of these random Friday,

02:01black Friday.

02:02They got to get somehow the players have to take some control back then because they're

02:05playing on Wednesday this year on Christmas.

02:07They're playing on Friday this year, black Friday or this week one, they're playing in

02:10Brazil.

02:11So the players got to get something back.

02:13And I understand as fans, we want more and I get it.

02:17But I think as a, as a fantasy football player, Scott, which you know how good I am.

02:23I don't know how good you are.

02:24I'm.

02:25Well, you recruited, you couldn't afford me.

02:29So what I'm saying is like, there's so many injuries already that you got the players

02:36have to fight back and take some sort of control for their own sake.

02:39But I don't think that's going to be getting rid of these Wednesday, Thursday, Friday situations

02:42because this is where the extra money is coming in.
