00:00It's Monday night, the Vikings and the Rams will get together.

00:04We know the situation that's going on in the L.A. area with the wildfires, etc.

00:10If they cannot play that game in L.A. on Monday night, and the NFL is monitoring the situation,

00:18they will move both teams to Glendale, Arizona to, of course, where the Cardinals play.

00:24So that is where the game will be, Scotty, if they cannot be there on Monday night.

00:28Still have a few days before they'll probably decide that.

00:32I mean, you know, and I think that would I'm not sure because, look, a lot of people feel

00:37like the Rams don't have a home fan base and, you know, the Chargers and Rams don't have fans.

00:43That's ridiculous. They have fans.

00:45But I think that taking it away from them from L.A. to the toaster in Glendale opens the door for the Vikings.

00:55I mean, just like this is just like a neutral site game.

00:59I don't have to deal with fans at all.

01:00Don't tell me that all those fans from Los Angeles are driving to the desert to Glendale,

01:07Arizona, to watch the Rams.

01:08They barely go to Inglewood.

01:11I mean, they barely get them to go to their own games.

01:13I think that game would be a disaster for the Rams.

01:17That it would not be ideal, that's for sure.

01:20And yes, you could say whatever you want.

01:22It makes a difference that they wouldn't be playing a game in front of their home crowd.

01:27And now what we saw last night, last night, the hockey game was postponed tonight.

01:33The Laker game with the Hornets has been postponed.

01:37I know it's still Thursday, but see, the problem is, is that you can't make this decision on Monday morning.

01:44You know, if they're moving this game.

01:47Logistically, they really got to figure this out by, I would say, 48 hours before Saturday.

01:53And I think Saturday morning, to be quite honest with you, because you got to go Sunday.

01:59Right.

01:59And I mean, the Vikings would have to change all their current travel plans.

02:03The Rams would suddenly have to make travel arrangements.

02:06This is not something that you could just change.

02:08So I think they're going to move the game.

02:11That's my, you know, I'm just taking a stab here.

02:14You look at what's going on out there.

02:16It's an awful situation.

02:18I just saw a picture of the Chargers at practice.

02:21Guys are wearing masks out on the practice field because of all the smoke and the bad air that's out there.

02:26I just don't see how they're going to play.

02:28And remember, that's so far, you know, that's open on the sides.

02:31Air is going to get in there, get all that bad smoke and air.

02:35You're going to get inside.

02:35That's so far.

02:36You're right.

02:37I think you're right.

02:39I think they're moving it.

02:39I think they are.

02:41Listen, it's a disaster.

02:44It's literally apocalyptic what's happened in Los Angeles.

02:47It's absolutely horrific.

02:49It's like it's so bad.

02:51It's like it's not even real.

02:53It's just the worst thing that you've ever seen.

02:56And what you know, I got to be honest with you, like.

03:01The only devastation I've seen like this is 9-11.

03:07I mean, you can say whatever you want, but what happened in lower Manhattan that day,

03:11the smoke and the devastation and ground zero and what it did to New York City and lower Manhattan,

03:19what has happened in Los Angeles, entire communities are gone.

03:25Entire communities.

03:27There's multiple communities that have been just burned to the ground.

03:31There's nothing left.

03:33You can talk about Lahaina and Hawaii in Maui.

03:39This is 10 times worse than that.

03:42A hundred times worse.

03:44I mean, how many people have been killed?

03:47How many people?

03:48It's over.

03:49It's well over a hundred thousand now have been displaced and evacuated and homes destroyed.

03:56Burned to the ground.

03:57Everything.

03:57They've lost everything.

03:59And we're worried about a football game.

04:03Honestly, move the game already.

04:05Honestly, it's embarrassing.

04:06Like, what, are they going to try to play a game in a smoke patch?

04:09I mean, honest to Christ.

04:12They should have already made the decision that they're not having the game there.

04:17Yeah, much more important things going on, obviously, when you look at that situation that's happening there.
