  Speaker 1: Should be all right. And then it was also I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: think I'm trying to remember who exactly it was.

  Speaker 2: of the great fun we had at the Maulard meet
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and greets.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: It actually turned out to be three in a row.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: It's only supposed to be two, which I thought was
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: way too much and would have been way too much,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and then we did.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: A third one on top of it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: We're gonna tell some stories throughout the night and I'll
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: save a lot of it for the fifth Hour podcast.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: It'll be up sometime later on Friday, probably a little
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: later than normal because of the schedule that is rather absurd.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: But that said, our lead this out. Don't bury the lead,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: my man, Art, We're not going to bury the lead.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So our lead this hour from the schedule, because there's
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: nothing better than when you have a talk show than
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: talking about a schedule. My god, it is something that
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: has happened while I have been behind the microphones at
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the bully pulpit at Fox Sports Radio. This thing just
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: popped off out of thin air, and it's now a
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: yearly tradition, like the Swallows returning to Capistrano or Punk
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Satani Phil will he see his shadow? It's the NFL's
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: schedule release day. Did you get swept up in the excitement?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Were you feeling a little tingly because of the schedule
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: being announced? Now? Well, the NFL one hundred and seventh
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: season we are told is going to be played and
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: not until the end of the year, but the league's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: annual prime time kickoff A game was announced. The reigning
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: champions I know, nos Tredinas had his pants around his ankles.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: He was all excited about this, and JJ and Ritten
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and all them. But the champion Seahawks thanks to that
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: generous officiating.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Let's just give Seattle to a points they didn't get. Anyway,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: these move on.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I'll move on, I promise, just like I've moved on
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: from the cheating A one one thousand and two, one
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: thousand holes. Anyway, the Seahawks will host the Patriots. I'm
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: sure Diana Rossini will be watching this game. And that's
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: at Lumen Field there in downtown Seattley Stadium I was
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: barred from years ago. That'll be on September night, that's
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a Wednesday on NBC. It is a rematch I am
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: told of the rather blast Super Bowl we had back
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: in February in northern California. It's the third Super Bowl
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: rematch on kickoff weekend. MO boy, that's so exciting. Nineteen
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: seventy and that was Carolina, that was Minnesota. Minuite Carolina
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: einety seven, Minnesota in casey Carolina, and Denver in twenty sixteen.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: For you nerds, congratulations then, but wait, there's more. On Thursday,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the traditional beginning of the NFL season is usually on Thursday,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: but on September tenth, and this game, I guess on Netflix,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: everyone with like Dick and Dayton, guys like that'll be bitching.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: They can't get the game.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But the Rams and Niners will meet in Melbourne at
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the Cricket Ground. I have no idea what that is,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: but that's a thing, and so they'll be there hanging
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: out there. Our buddies in Australia can fill us in
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: on that first ever regular season game in Australia. A
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: lot of buzz all around. Moh, this seems like a
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: really big deal NFL schedule dump and that is a
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: good jumping off points. So let us discuss the question
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: where are you at on the hooplaw around the NFL's
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: schedule release day which is now taking place.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I've got the dead Sea scrolls, US Marines and Vegas
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: style residency and we will combine all of these things
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: together and let it soak into.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: The skin is what we're going to do, all right.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: So a, this is the vacuum of the NFL off season,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the off season hunger games, if you will, where thirty
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: two teams enter and absolutely zero new information leaves. We
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: have officially reached the peak of the Dog and Pony Show.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I always look at this as the peak of at
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the NFL, and to their credit, I'm jealous that they're
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: able to pull this off. They successfully turn basic math
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: into a national holiday. We're talking a countdown clock to
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: the right live TV specials. It's like essentially a glorified
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: grocery list. I'm going to the store to buy some groceries. Okay,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: let's get excited on Aisle seven. Wait a minute, is
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: that at I canna chunky soup on Aisle seven? But
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: dan over on the back aisle, you got some eggs.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, is that? Let us over there?
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: In week nine?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, there's a little lettuce. Do I see
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: tomato for week ten? Old goodie, we get a tomato.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Way to go.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, then there's a pineapple in week eleven. That's hard
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to cut into. Yeah. Some hearto types are out there
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: treating the schedule like it's the dead sea scrolls.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It's a calendar, that's it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: People are acting like knowing week nine okay with Thursday
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: night game that suddenly changes the axis of the entire season,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the rotation of the earth. It's manufactured excitement, honest. It's
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: designed to fill the dead zone between the draft and
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the mini camp stuff and then training camp eventure. But
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the league is televising the equivalent of a coin toss
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: rehearsal and we're getting a two hour pregame nonsense and
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: all that. Half the analysis, of course, is pure noise,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: which you could argue at all is and all we
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: do here in gas baggery is pure noise.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You know, the tough stench of November. Will they overcome
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the season in September? Yeah?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And I always love it because having paid attention, I'm
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: just being somewhat grown up and watching this stuff. You
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: watch the NFL and you think you know, you don't know, right,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the injuries, the random variants. It will laugh right in
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: your face at your little strength of schedule debate by
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: not even by December, by mid November, because the quarterback
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to the right gets hurt. Quarterback to the left, you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: he has issues with some woman. He starts fallowing by
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the matchups, though this is the thing. We've known them
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: for months since the end of the regular season. The
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: order is the only mystery in this in the NFL schedule,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and even that feels rigged for sweeps week.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Isn't you know? It's not news.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: It's a manifesto of nothing. But here I am partaking
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: in it because I'm a dope. And listen the Vikings
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: running out of time on their draft picks.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I found it much more electric.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Than the schedule to me. You know, back in the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: day when the Vikings did that. We are all suckers
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: for a well timed hype video. And you want hype videos.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is an all you can eat buffet.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Is every team a little hype videos here, there, and everywhere.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: The league turned basic math, though, into some kind of
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: national event, and we're gonna it's gonna blow you away.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: So every team will play seventeen games in eighteen weeks
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: between September ninth and January tenth, twenty twenty seven. That's
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy two total games played out over
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty three days, four months and a day.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: The hardest thing about the schedule is trying to pacify
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: all of the television partners that have bankrolled what.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Is going on here?
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Right, This is NFL, The sugar daddy is the TV,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and so they got to please Fox, but they also
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: got to take care of NBC and CBA, and then
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: what about the Netflix and Amazon and ESPN.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: They all want their share all right now meanwhile flipping
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the page.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: So the grumbling is something that is universal to this
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: particular event. And while I have paid limited attention to
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: the sports talk airwaves over the last couple hours, I
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: have just from people I'm associated with the complaints and whatnot.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Some of the feedback I get on the email, like,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: for example, New England opens twenty twenty six with three
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: straight games against divisional winners.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: That's more than they faced all of last season.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: We knew that they played a soft, fluffy schedule last year,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the fluffer nutters schedule, and then comes a road trip
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: to Buffalo's shiny new outdoor palace. So that gives the
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Patriots the hardest schedule weeks one through four since the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty six Randall Cuttingham Philadelphia Eagles. My god, ghastly, ghastly, Meanwhile,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Kansas City gets a quarterback gauntlet.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: People are freaking out about nets not until.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: The middle to late part of the year where they
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: have a stretch where they play Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, Drake May Brock Porty, Justin Herbert like consecutively,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: which like.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, can good news play some good teams?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: And the Jags from week four to week sixteen people
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: freaking out.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They barely see beautiful Jacksonville, Holy Angry Bill. Seven road games,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: two London games, one bye week and just three home dates.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: All right, So the question, give me your message to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the fans who are grumbling, and this is just a
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: small example.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: The Arizona Cardinals have the toughest schedule, or depending on
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: what metric you.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Look at and anyway, so give me your message.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: To the fan who is grumbling about having a difficult
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: part to the scale. So my first reaction is, booooo,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: stop your rebelly aching.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Every team in the NFL, as we said, they play
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: seventeen games.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: You're not special to the dopes currently presiding as members
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: of the Church of Victimhood. We've all heard today's sermon,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: why us okay tough enough?
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Time to act more like the US Marines there and
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: just embrace the sock and you have a tough schedule.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Hoorah. That's what they say over the Marines.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: That's where grown teams are made, right, That's where you
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: don't run from the challenge.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: You run towards it. And you can get a little
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: mud under your fingernails.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: And celebrate the fact that overcame a tough schedule because
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: a real NFL team is supposed to it's not. This
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: schedule is not supposed to smell like lavender. It's supposed
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: to smell like a like a trash shoot at the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: end of the week without being cleaned.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: The struggle makes for a better story anyway.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: If you want easy, go play pickleball somewhere, knock yourself out,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: play some pickup.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: You have to learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable. At
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: least that's supposed to be the way. And it's like
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the whole sport.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: They always bragged about that back in the day, and
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the cliche about pressure making diamonds.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And of course in this case, I guess it.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Exposes frauds and good teams should not be like, oh
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: my god, we've got the gauntlet Like, no, you treat
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: it like a toothpick and you sharpen your teeth on it,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: and that's it.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: You quit your whining and get on with it. Meanwhile,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: last word, so moving forward, Well, I am very cynical,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: as you may know. Night by night here.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: The one thing that stands out there is one thing
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: that I have long said is the only meaningful takeaway
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: from all of this. So that is the question, what
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: is the biggest thing, or maybe even the only thing
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that we take away from the annual right of passage
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: The NFL's schedule in this case for twenty twenty six.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: But those of you in the back of the room
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that have not been paying attention to the NFL schedule
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: is not so much a calendar.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like flashing back to high school.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Think of it like the high school cafeteria map, where
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the NFL tells us exactly which table the cool kids
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: are out, and then who gets shoved into the basement. Now,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I was always in the basement when I was in
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: high school. I don't know about you, so I never
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: got to sit with the cool kids. But this isn't
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: about fairness in this case. The NFL always like to say,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: oh about fairness. It's not about fairness. It's a popularity
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: contest designed to separate the watchables from the unwatchables.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, and if your team is.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Among the low five I'm talking Jets, Titans, Raiders, Cardinals
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: or Dolphins, congratulations because you have been handed a scarlet
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: letter and a dunce cap. Zero primetime games. And this
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: is inconceivable if you're of a certain age and you
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: recall the glory days of the Raiders and the Dolphin,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: that we have now reached rock bottom after all these
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: years of product that was covered in feces. Finally, the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Raiders and Dolphins together zero primetime games. And the the
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Jets have always sucked, The Titans have been pretty bad,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals are the worst of the worst. But zero
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: primetime games. That is the NFL screaming on top of
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: the building that you are bad TV. You are so
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: bad that a test pattern would likely pull better ratings
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: than putting a raidered Dolphin game on television.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: That's how bad you are.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the haves are living in luxury. They're in the
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: presidential suite. Teams like Green Bay, Kansas City, Buffalo, and
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Seattle are the Darlings.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: They have six games apiece.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: However, the true king of the Nielsen Needle, not the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Space needle, the Nielsen Needle.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: You know who the real glamour team is? You probably think, well,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Colvin. No, no, no, no.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: The team the television is picked as the King of
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: the Hill. A number one most popular in the entire
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: National Football League, the La Rams.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: You can ram it all day and you can ram
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: it all night.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: The Rams with Matthew Stafford and Puka Nakua seven primetime slots.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Sean mcvagy's team has secured a Vegas style residency on
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the boob too that covers forty one percent of their season.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, it's a record, tied for
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the record.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: And there's always a chance the Rams will got an
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: extra primetime game late in the year, So we're possibly
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: half almost half, not quite, but almost half THEIRS games
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: will be in primetime. The message is loud and cleared.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: The Rams are the most important team in the NFL.
• 16:43
