All right. So if you talk to me like whatever and said the Jaguars are going to trade up to two and the Browns are going to trade down to five, I'm not piling on the Browns at all. they collected all these picks. What's crazy is if you look at the entire Jaguars draft class, you say, okay, they got Travis Hunter and they sacrificed and they gave up a draft pick and that's fine.
If you look at the entire Browns draft class, They absolutely crushed it. The only oddity is the two quarterbacks. So that steals the headlines. And everyone's like, well, the Browns, what are they thinking? They got Dylan Gabriel. Then two rounds later, they draft Shador. But they added starters at like every position and they picked up a first round pick.
So I think the head scratcher, of course, is the two quarterbacks. But talking to them yesterday in real time and then this morning, I It's like at 144 and it's the quarterback position and the value is the most important position. Like, all right, we'll take them. But like, if you just ignore the shock and awe of drafting two quarterbacks in rounds like that. they actually did really well.
So to me, my answer is not dodging a bullet. It's just like, I think a lot of people scratched their heads at why would you take another quarterback? But the truth of the matter is it's kind of a luxury pick. They already did clean up and get a lot of important players.
Your team did it. You had RG three. And then in the fourth round, you took cousins.
RG3 was great the first year, and then Cousins was great for the next couple. Yeah, and with the Vikings, yeah. But you're right.
Yeah. There wasn't any real trades. There was a Sam Howell trade with Schefterbrook, but there wasn't any of those trades. And we had a whole list of names that were going to be traded. I don't think the Steelers are going to make any moves for a bit until they have clarity on Rodgers, obviously.
I would imagine if Rodgers says no, they might be a team that might be in the Kirk Cousins sweepstakes, but...
um i i can't imagine i can't imagine the falcons week one paying kirk cousins that salary and having michael pennix be the starter i just don't know where he goes and when but like if you're the falcons you can't have that guy with that salary as much as they say it and this is just me talking i know the nfl well enough where like that guy's that guy can't be on the right he's a great teammate and the whole thing and he showed up to spring camp but you can't be paying him that number to be a backup
Okay, so let's go through that. So I think it's not going to all be at once. They're going to build, but they've already established UK can do it. They established Germany can do it. They established Brazil can do it. What he said, which was wild, is he's like, you know, we're thinking about going to Asia. And now I'm like, okay. And
What they do is they show up in the city, and then it's a two-week event, and there's flag football. There's all these things. It's almost like a traveling road show. I do think he means it, and that was a real report, and he said it, that 16 games is not off the table and that they figure it out scheduling-wise.
And as for London, I can't imagine there's going to be a Super Bowl there, but guess what? If they have 16 games internationally and London becomes a market where there's multiple games a year, it's certainly going to be in the conversation, especially with the popularity in the stadiums.
And right now, I don't see it happening in the next two to three, four Super Bowl assignments, but it could happen. Absolutely. I didn't think there would ever be more than three international games. They're talking about a full schedule now. And here's what's interesting with that. I worked on Fox's pregame show for years.
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 –
