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.
