00:00 No doubt about it in terms the off the field stuff
00:02 I thought one of the biggest stories from today and I was surprised it didn't get more run
00:06 I didn't really see a lot of people talking about nationally
00:08 But I was surprised by that is that the Browns are one of the teams at the forefront of this rule change
00:13 That they're proposing coming up in the end the league's annual meetings, which will be next month
00:17 To push the trade deadline back to additional weeks
00:22 So it would fall in week 10, which this season that would have been like November 14th
00:26 I think this is a fascinating sort of development here. It's a fascinating this conversation
00:31 I'm surprised nobody's really brought it up to this point because
00:34 The idea that the trade deadline is a little bit later and Andrew Barry you can find the video
00:41 I know I shared it at Spencito underscore on Twitter, but also on on our website Browns digest calm
00:46 He explained it very eloquently like the four sort of bullet points of why they think they need to move back and one of them
00:52 Was that well when they added the 17th game?
00:54 They kept it at week 8, which was the halfway point originally, but we're obviously now in a 17 game season
01:01 So it doesn't really make sense
01:02 And that there's the potential to add an 18th game at some point then you're even further
01:06 You know in a minute like further away from the middle of the season
01:09 So I think that's a good reason
01:10 I also think too if you think about it like a team like the Titans comes to mind
01:14 I want to say the Titans were like a game under 500 at the the trade deadline or something like that
01:18 They're like three and four. Okay two weeks later
01:21 They were three and six. So now you're talking about team that like, okay, we're around 500
01:26 We might still want to give this thing a shot
01:28 After week 8 like not trade anybody and see if we can make the playoffs two weeks later
01:32 They might be more inclined to say hey, you know what?
01:35 Let's trade Derek Henry because we think we're out of it now
01:37 And so you actually I think it fuels almost more action
01:40 From the league to make that day even more exciting for for fans as well
01:45 Where you'll actually like we always talk about how great the NBA trade deadline is there's always all kinds of different stuff going on
01:50 It could almost be like that where you get more teams involved and more teams willing to part ways the players because you're deeper in the
01:56 Season and you kind of have a read on where your team's at
01:58 Yeah, and he said that the Browns proposed moving it back to week 10, which and he went a couple other interesting stats
02:05 He's like, yeah in the past
02:07 Whatever year he said no teams been eliminated before week 11 and the two teams that had been eliminated
02:12 At week 12 or in 2012 and 2014
02:16 So he's like hey at least at that point in time you have an idea of where you're gonna go and to your point
02:20 Like it eliminates the gray area, right?
02:23 If you're yeah six, you know, you can be in cell mode think of all the baseball teams, right who are at the trade deadline
02:28 You know, unfortunately
02:29 well
02:30 Fortunately for the Guardians over the past couple years for any running tribe fans out there regards fans out there
02:34 Like, you know, we've been in buy mode right where we can go get a piece at the deadline
02:39 Well when the deadline is 47% of the way through the season you're still in that gray area
02:44 Like I don't want to make a wrong choice
02:46 Well, we're gonna ride it out with our team. Whereas like you said, you know teams can you know, really define?
02:51 Hey, we're selling on this year or hey, we're really buying in and then they can get super aggressive at the deadline
02:55 It makes so much sense. It's like why can't they just take a break to good Delga del's there somewhere?
03:01 Why can't they just take it right to him and be like, hey, let's do this because it makes too much sense
