Yeah, so it also contributes 100%. I guess it doesn't need an analogy.

You want to start with some niche sports equinox? No, run the damn ball. Start with football. Run the rock. FB dive. Oh, yeah. So the 18-game thing is something we've been talking about for a while. Even back when you and I were in the league, they put it on the table in the 2011 negotiations, and we promptly slapped that shit right off the table.

But we knew it was coming back around because the NFL has – a ton of power and leverage, and money is what matters. So what are you thinking, Hawk, about the 18-game schedule that the owners are now at the owner meeting and the breakers discussing it today?

We would rip the thigh pads out because the thigh pads were made of like cushioning around a tiny plastic plate and everyone would cut the plate out and just put the plate in your thighs or wear nothing. Or wear nothing.

So I agree with that as the league strategy. And the league's other strategy is also be bigger and more powerful.

Do you want money or not? Yeah, we could talk about it. I think we should actually get into how the increased revenue is going to be split because it's going to go disproportionately to the stars and quarterbacks, while the people who are going to take the brunt of the wear and tear are not those guys. But I would like to also focus on how old we are because... It's a good topic. You know what?

I remember coming up and learning that at one point there was only 14 games. And I was like, man, that's crazy. And to imagine that I played in the league, the league will soon have 18 games. I would have played like you think about that. You think about the players who played in a 14 game league when we were in a 16 game league. I thought about them like they were. Like, fossilized.

I am going to be a guy very soon, when they had 18 games, and they could be like, oh, you play? They used to have 16 games? I'm like, yeah, we used to have 16 games.

So we... Yeah, this is not the smart idea to talk about how old we are to start this show.

But I need it. It's okay that I have to work. No more games. No more games. So there's a couple different avenues that we could go down. And I think the idea of... Flooding the market with a product eventually has some sort of backlash is one way to go, but I don't feel like we got any takers. I was talking to Charlie about this yesterday, and he looked at me like I was stupid.
