00:00There's a 97-1.
00:01Hey!
00:04Good discussion.
00:06We had some back and forth.
00:10There was no yelling.
00:12There was no yelling.
00:14Close.
00:15No, there was no...
00:16Were you close to yelling?
00:18I mean, with Brian Collins...
00:20If things are going bad, we'll hear from Brian.
00:23If things ever go...
00:24You know, Brian, rest assured,
00:26his phone doesn't work during winning streaks.
00:30All right.
00:32248-539-9797.
00:34Interesting stuff in the NFL yesterday.
00:36Let's start with this.
00:37Nashville gets a Super Bowl in 2030.
00:40Kang, how many hotel rooms short of being able to host a Super Bowl are they?
00:44Currently, 20,000.
00:48They've promised to build 20,000 hotel rooms.
00:53And this doesn't impact a lot of fans.
00:57I like drivable Super Bowls.
01:00For fans that want to experience it.
01:01That's drivable.
01:02And Nashville is drivable.
01:03We don't get a lot of those here in Detroit.
01:06How many drivable Super Bowls are there actually in Detroit?
01:09There's Indianapolis.
01:10Yep.
01:10I suppose you could drive to Minnesota.
01:13It's a long drive.
01:14It is a long drive, but it can be done.
01:17That's why they need to build that roundabout bridge.
01:20And you can get through it.
01:21Oh, yeah.
01:22Across the lake.
01:22Yeah, the suggestion...
01:23Somebody drew a roundabout bridge in the middle of Lake Michigan.
01:26I know that was to Wisconsin, but then that way you can go right through.
01:29Well, what made it a roundabout was there was one of the forks of the roundabout went
01:33off to Chicago.
01:34Yeah.
01:34Yeah.
01:34So, I mean...
01:35But yes, that one would take you through to Wisconsin and cut a lot of drive time off.
01:40But that's not going to be done before the Minnesota Super Bowl.
01:43No, drivable Super Bowls are cool, right?
01:45So, when is this Super Bowl?
01:462030.
01:47So, they have four years to get some hotels built.
01:50And four years until hopefully Lions GM Don King can build a Super Bowl caliber team.
01:56No.
01:58You...
02:00You've been to Nashville or no?
02:01I have not.
02:02It's one of the cities I definitely want to go to.
02:04Oh, it's fun.
02:05It is fun.
02:06Kang, you've been to Nashville?
02:08I have not.
02:08I want to go there too.
02:09Kenny?
02:10Kenny, you've been to Nashville?
02:12I've not.
02:13Same thing as these guys.
02:14I'd love to go.
02:15Yeah, Nashville.
02:15Isn't it like bachelorette party capital of the world or something?
02:19Yeah.
02:20Hello, ladies.
02:22Well, Scott, you need to make it and put it on the to-do list.
02:25I'd like to.
02:26Friends and I talked about it.
02:27Remember when they had the draft in Nashville?
02:30Yes.
02:30Yes.
02:31Okay.
02:31But there was a lot of bachelorette parties going on.
02:33And they're like, what the hell are all these guys doing here?
02:35They had no idea.
02:36They had no idea.
02:37That was a great story.
02:38Nashville is a fun city.
02:41And they've...
02:43It's another example.
02:44People in sports where I feel like a perfectly good stadium is being replaced, but that's
02:48not that old.
02:51Kind of blows my mind how often that happens now.
02:53Oh.
02:54But you get rewarded with a Super Bowl.
02:56That's what happens.
02:59So, um...
03:00I think it's a city deserving of it.
03:02Of a Super Bowl?
03:03Sure.
03:04It's a destination.
03:05It makes sense.
03:07As long as they can handle the inflow of people, which is why they have to construct.
03:10Which is why they have to build.
03:11Yeah.
03:12But I mean, like, when they were building the stadium in Vegas, they announced they're going
03:17to have Super Bowls in Vegas.
03:18It makes all the sense in the world, right?
03:19But I mean, obviously Vegas is...
03:21They have some hotel space there.
03:23Right.
03:23Last I checked.
03:25But it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
03:27Plus, I think that we...
03:28If you're going to have to say, well, we need X amount of hotel rooms, I mean, or just B
03:34&Bs
03:35work too, or Airbnb or whatever.
03:37I don't know if you can guarantee those, but I mean, in Jacksonville...
03:41As long as there's no squatting afterwards.
03:43Jacksonville...
03:43It happened here too, right?
03:44The cruise ships were brought in to house people as hotel rooms, but hey, Nashville's
03:54a fun city, and I think it's fun for a lot of different ages.
03:58For, like, people older than us, and the young crowd, like you and I.
04:03Right.
04:03Yep.
04:05So, Nashville gets a Super Bowl.
04:06Minnesota gets a draft.
04:08That's cool.
04:09They get a draft in 2028.
04:11Again, long drive, but drivable.
04:14Hopefully, the weather holds up for them.
04:16Yeah.
04:17I mean, they did it here, so...
04:19Well, have...
04:21So, this will be the last team in the NFC North to get their draft, right?
04:25Because they had the one in Chicago you went to, right?
04:27Yep.
04:28Obviously, here in Detroit, they did Green Bay.
04:30What, last year it was at Green Bay?
04:34And now it'll be Minnesota.
04:36As far as the weather, they did consult the forecast, and it looks like it's going to
04:38be fine.
04:39They talked to you, because you know everything in the future.
04:42Like, Michigan, Michigan State, start times.
04:44I have no idea.
04:45But, yes, Minnesota gets a draft in 2028, so yeah, NFC North.
04:52Represent, you know.
04:53Is any other...
04:54Can any other division say that?
04:57I don't think so.
04:59Probably not.
04:59Because they haven't been doing this for too long.
05:01I mean, it's probably, what, 10 years?
05:03Actually, how about the NFC East?
05:06Did they do it in Dallas?
05:08They did a draft in Dallas, didn't they?
05:10I don't think so.
05:12That's kind of awesome if they haven't.
05:13I know they've done Philly.
05:15And they've done New York.
05:16And they've obviously done New York.
05:19But did they do D.C.?
05:21I thought they did D.C.
05:22But, I mean, NFL draft.
05:26They just did Pittsburgh.
05:29The year before that was Green Bay.
05:31The year before that was Detroit.
05:33The year before that was Kansas City.
05:36The year before that was Vegas.
05:39The year before that was Cleveland.
05:43The year before that was New York.
05:45Yeah, maybe we were the first division to host them all.
05:48Yeah, there's no Dallas.
05:51Oh, Dallas.
05:52Yeah, they did do Dallas.
05:532018, it was Dallas.
05:55Arlington, Texas.
05:56That's correct.
05:56My bad.
05:57Yes, that is technically where they do that.
05:58Yes.
06:01And I don't think Washington has hosted it.
06:04No, but they're doing it next year.
06:05Washington, D.C. has it in 2027.
06:07There you go.
06:07So we'd get it before.
06:08Our division.
06:09That's what we do.
06:10Well, no, they didn't get it before.
06:12Because Minnesota is until 2020.
06:14Damn it!
06:17Yeah, 28 comes after 27.
06:19Yeah, but it's 2028, Kang.
06:24The other thing is the NFL proved the ability to play up to 10 international games and teams
06:29can no longer protect specific matchups.
06:34So a few things about this.
06:36The belief is this is all baby steps towards 18 international games.
06:42One played every week, 18 regular season games per teams, and every team is required to
06:49play overseas once.
06:53I know how much you enjoy this.
06:55World domination.
06:56Oh, yeah.
06:56Taking our product and going overseas, Gator.
06:58That's right.
06:59I know you're a big fan.
07:00Huge.
07:00How do you feel about this news?
07:02I don't like this at all.
07:03First of all, I don't like they've expanded to 17 games, and now it's obviously going to
07:07be 18 games shortly.
07:11Adding more international games.
07:13I mean, I kind of give up on that.
07:17If more international games are played in the Western Hemisphere, meaning you go to South
07:23America or Central America or just Mexico or Canada, I think that'd be cool.
07:30Let's get some games that way.
07:31More games that way instead of always playing in Europe.
07:35I mean, they're expanding to be Australia.
07:38That's insane to me.
07:39I mean, it takes a day to get there.
07:42So I think Australia would be really cool, but not for an NFL game.
07:48I mean, if I were a player, I'd be like, are you kidding me?
07:50Yeah.
07:50We're playing in Australia.
07:52It's going to take forever to get there, forever to get back.
07:55It sounds brutal.
07:56But this idea of that you can't protect any games on your schedule, I don't like that
08:03idea.
08:03I don't like the NFL dictating to the teams.
08:06And by the way, we control everything.
08:08Wait a minute.
08:10So you're telling me that the Lions can't protect their rivalry game against the Packers
08:16and the Bears at home.
08:18You can't protect that.
08:20That sounds awful.
08:21I can't believe the owners signed off on this.
08:23It doesn't make any sense to me why the owners would.
08:26I know why the NFL wants to control everything.
08:29Because they want to be able to hold it up for the highest price when it comes to TV deals
08:35in the future and all that.
08:36And where things are going, it's going streaming, right?
08:40Streaming deals are getting way more and more lucrative.
08:44And I think they're going to dangle that.
08:46It's going to be like Apple or Netflix is going to say, hey, you know what?
08:50We really want that Kansas City Buffalo game in week 12.
08:55So we're willing to pay this amount for it.
08:58What blows my mind is the owners voted on this and said, yes, it's okay to take our best
09:06games and park them overseas.
09:10Now, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to say something kind of cutting edge here.
09:15All right.
09:16I'm going to guess there's financial incentive.
09:18What?
09:19For the owners to send their best games overseas.
09:23But here's another example where the product gets worse for the fans.
09:29They don't care.
09:31But, but, and I've talked about a sports bubble bursting for 30 years.
09:35So I'm not sure that it's ever going to be right.
09:38But how much abuse can we take?
09:41Yeah, sure.
09:42Take our best games and play them, you know, in, in Bangladesh.
09:47Awesome.
09:47Well, it's, it's one game and it's going to happen.
09:52It's just going to happen.
09:53They don't, the NFL doesn't care.
09:55And, and yes, you answered your own question.
09:57The owner, what's the incentive?
09:58Everybody makes more money off it.
10:00No, here's who does it.
10:01The fans, they don't care about the fans.
10:03I know, but, but my point is all of this abuse of the fans, I would take, advertise on
10:09the uniform.
10:09Sure.
10:10Go right ahead.
10:11Take a game overseas.
10:12If it means more for the organization to, to make more money.
10:16If the give back was, and season ticket prices are going down.
10:22You are funny.
10:23I know, right?
10:24That's, that's how it's just so one sided and so abusive, but because it's one game,
10:30there's not going to be nearly enough pushback from the fans in order to create the change.
10:34Okay.
10:34That's what I'm doing right now is pushing back.
10:36Well, it's unfortunately it's, it's not going to be anywhere near enough.
10:40And that's where it ends up because we'll just, we'll just take it.
10:45Okay.
10:45I can still watch the game, right?
10:47Yeah.
10:47But you have to get a streaming service, but I have access to it.
10:50Yes.
10:50It's going to cost you more money.
10:51Essentially.
10:52They're doing this to create a more lucrative streaming package of games and overseas.
10:55Yes.
10:56So that the owners make more money and the players can make more money because that means
11:00the salary cap fans don't have to pay as much in, in ticket prices.
11:04No, that's not it because so there's a bunch of winners in this a bunch.
11:10Yeah.
11:10And then there's one specific loser, right?
11:14Fans again.
11:15Yes.
11:17Also, besides, you know, we're getting a raw deal.
11:19Oh, we always get the raw deal, but also besides just, you know, the streaming and the advertising
11:23and all that stuff, um, revenue, I know in the beginning, it's like, give these people
11:28any game.
11:28They don't care who the teams are.
11:29They don't know who they are.
11:30But I think no P King, but at some point,
11:34they do still want to market it.
11:36Some good football over there.
11:37I think, you know, so they, they want this global domination.
11:40They want people to care that it's Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen instead of Jacoby
11:45Brissett versus, you know, Max Brosmer.
11:47Give them Jacoby Brissett.
11:49But they're, they're going to start giving them some good games.
11:51No, they want good games.
11:52Yeah.
11:53They, they want them to love this and follow those guys and buy jerseys and things like
11:56that.
11:57Because they want to put teams over there.
11:58Yes.
11:58They want to, they want everything.
12:00They're going to end up putting a division over there.
12:01Absolutely.
12:03And then they'll get to host the draft.
12:052, 4, 8, 5, 3, 9, 97.
12:09It's Carson Anderson, 97.
12:111.
