And he played for USC and he gave me his thanks and I accepted it.

Hey Schwartz.

I have a bunch of things I want to talk to you about, but, but very quickly.

because nobody does the in-between of like talking college football and pro football and two distinct conversations better than you do it.

Explain this one to me.

Why the half stripe on the college football?

Like the pro ball is nude.

It has no stripes.

The pros don't need stripes.

But what do the stripes indicate in the first place?

And if you need the stripe, then why isn't it all the way around?

Why the half-ass thing here?

Yeah, it's like a training stripe, but I don't know what it's training exactly.

And like I say, if it's needed, then do it.

There are distinctions to be made between the two.

The one thing I definitely like in college football better than pros is that when your knee or elbow or otherwise hits, you're down.

It's a weird you-can-get-back-up thing that creates awkward looking plays.

I always think about...

the Super Bowl XLVII with the late Jacoby Jones sliding to catch the ball and then popping back up and then running into the end zone.

At minimum, it looks weird.
