And it was like, we'd have crazy ratings at our little kickoff show, which was before the big one. Now it's from 11 to 12 Eastern. But when they would have these international games, Nobody watched. You'd rather watch any game than a pregame show talking about the other games. So you'd go over to ESPN or NFL Network, wherever it was, and those games start at 9.30 Eastern.

It's usually in the fourth quarter when the pregame shows are going on. If you have 16 games, my question is, does that single-handedly cripple the idea of a Sunday pregame show? No. I feel like most fans, even if it's Jaguars, Titans, or it's Saints, Bucks, most fans, you watch the game over hearing what the guys have to say about the games coming up.

So I wonder about the windows, the time windows, because if you do a 16-game international schedule, the thought process would be, That's another package you can sell. You can sell that to Netflix. Hey, here's a full season. You can sell it to Amazon and it's the 9.30 a.m. early window, Eastern.

And then it goes games at 9.30 to 1, games from 1 to 4, and then games from 4 to 7, and then your game at 7. And it's just all day. And it's kind of cool, but I'm a sentimental guy. I would hope to think that those pregame shows still exist, even if there's games in that window. Yeah. Well, what happens if it's in Asia with the time zones?

Yeah. Yeah. They figure it out. I'm sure they're not, I'm sure they're not going to just drop it into whatever time slot they'd figure it out and we'd work around it. But like, you know, there's gonna be three Christmas games moving forward. There were no Christmas games two years ago. Like that's, that's what they do. And it's, it's, It's what they're going to be doing.

And the schedule is coming out May 14th. I'm curious to see some of these windows, some of these games where who gets the international, like I I'm a geek with this stuff. Like I think schedule release day is, I know we all roll our eyes and social media teams do it. Like,

I find the science behind the schedule, and I know the guys who are working on it, this guy Mike North, this other woman Charlotte Carey, like Ani Bowes, these guys, this is – once the season ends, this is their full-time job. They are working on every permutation to make sense so that no team feels screwed, but also you get the most maximum eyeballs when possible. So as little as like –
