But they have 18 games is like the start of the conversation for the next CBA from the owner's perspective.

It's like...

We're not even going to entertain a 17-game season.

We're going to start at 18, and you have to accept that or else we're going to lock you out.

So it's going to happen.

There will be 18 games.

I don't necessarily mind 18 as opposed to 17.

I think they'll probably do something with a preseason game.

They should do that.

the universal buy universal buy the week before christmas when you have to do all your shopping and everyone's busy and you're like hey maybe there's a christmas party and you gotta you gotta be like hey guess what you know what and we we just don't tell anyone that there's universal buy and we're like hey you know what this weekend i'm not gonna watch football

It would be great for everyone.

And you could also throw some college football playoff games on there.

Our dear friend Mike Florio kind of dove into it, and I don't think this is fan fiction.

He might be on to something.

The February 2028 Super Bowl does not have a date to be played on yet, which means they're holding it for the 18th game.

And then once they get that solidified, then they'll announce when the Super Bowl is going to be.

And that part I'm in for because I have said this before, but as long as football is being played, winter doesn't exist.

I know winter sucks, but when you have football games, especially playoff games, so the closer we get the football season to March Madness, if they're basically kissing.

A bridge, yeah.

It's great.
