00:00 The question is, how long before the NFL makes us pay for every game, including the Super

00:10 Bowl?

00:11 Here's the answer.

00:12 I live in Miami, so that's the exception.

00:14 So I could care less about the rest of the country.

00:16 I get to watch my Dolphins.

00:18 The real answer, of course, is this is not one of those things that you take lightly.

00:22 OK, so remember when Amazon did it, but it was all, as you point out, free trial, free

00:27 trial, free trial.

00:28 I will wait for the backlash and see, because this was obviously an NBC game.

00:33 And NBC decided to then run it on their streaming affiliate.

00:39 And it turns out to be a game that a lot of people want to watch.

00:42 You know, whether it's a good game or a bad game, zero degrees Saturday night, that is

00:47 always a very significant playoff rating first weekend bonanza.

00:52 And I understand the backlash, by the way.

00:54 I really do.

00:55 I don't know that I'm going to get it because I'm again in the local market.

00:58 But I do understand that backlash.

01:00 But I mean, no one's going to watch it and no one's going to want to pay to watch it.

01:06 And how long before the NFL makes the Super Bowl a pay per view experience only?

01:13 Because if they'll if they'll do it now, I'd say the I'd say the over under is five years.

01:20 No, I don't think so, because I think Congress has drawn such a bright line for so many years

01:26 that the line will exist for the conference championships and for the Super Bowl.

01:32 Maybe it will intrude into the next weeks of the playoff game.

01:36 So maybe it goes one round deeper in the playoff.

01:38 But I'm here to tell you it will not go to the conference championships and it will definitely

01:42 not go to the Super Bowl in my lifetime.

01:44 Now, I may get shot tomorrow.

01:46 So my lifetime may be short.
