The greed of the NFL knows no bounds.

Yeah.

By the way, I still want to say this clearly for our audience.

The 16-game NFL season was perfect, and they are going to continue ruining it until they ruin the NFL.

Just laying it out there.

I may have never agreed with you as strongly as I do on that particular take.

But anyway, so what did Brendan do?

So Brendan is not even involved in this, right?

He's not involved in this.

He runs the Federal Communications Commission.

The Department of Justice is investigating the NFL and wondering if the antitrust exemption still holds water when the goal, the policy goal of getting games on TVs in a way that was cost-effective for everybody has been subverted by the rise of streaming services.

So the DOJ is investigating the league.

to see whether the antitrust exemption is still relevant.

Brendan can't stay away from this because some broadcasters are involved and he just keeps running around being like, I think there's a point at which the NFL reached a tipping point where they're sticking too many games down a paywall, in which case it really raises a lot of questions about the scope of the antitrust exemption.

He's so stupid.

He's smart.

He has nothing to do with this.

He's just threatening the NFL because he kind of can.

But, like, I think I agree.

Like, I think he's right.
