So this is all on the NFL for allowing this thing to happen.

It's funny, I felt like I was screaming into the wilderness alone for a year about the Brady conflict of interest.

I had other people who cover sports media trying to shout me down over it.

It's like, this is a real thing.

And boom, the Dolphins are taking advantage of it too.

And Troy Aikman is clearly, clearly partial to the Dolphins.

He has a bias for the Dolphins.

I can't wait to see how ESPN handles it the next time the Dolphins are on Monday Night Football.

And I had at least one team reach out to me and say, stay on this Aikman thing.

I don't think the teams want to be in this business of going out and hiring broadcasters to do double duty and funnel information to them.

I also think there have probably been some arrangements we don't know about.

And I think that should be part of this conversation.

This is the kind of thing that should never happen.

I think if you're working in the NFL broadcast media ecosystem and you naturally have access to certain information that isn't available publicly, I don't think those folks should be working on the side directly for a team, whether we know about it or whether we don't.

Thanks, Mike.

Have a great week.

Great talking to you.

I'm sorry I'm late, I was talking to Robert Kraft.
