And we think we're going to be the league that does own the summer.

Well, I think that, as Dave mentioned,

If you go back, and I didn't realize how much time I'd be spending with meteorologists in this new position of mine, and it comes looking at weather right through the winter, or sorry, the late fall.

Every week earlier in November that you can go, just better weather.

It's very clear what that says.

It'll be hit and misses, of course, with this unpredictable weather, but

But we think getting it one week earlier in November will be really important for sort of the fans, the players, the play on the field, all of you at TSN covering the Grey Cup.

I think it's just going to be made for a great show.

And we, again, we want to make sure the bulk of our play is concentrated in the summer.

And then we have our playoffs just rocking right into the fall.

Sure.

Look, I think starting off, we're a nine-team league.

So getting a playoff schedule with some robust number of games is difficult as a nine-team league.

And we decided, you know what, we've only got five playoff games.

And in all of sports, you see it.

You see what's going on right now in hockey and basketball.

Playoffs are the games of consequence.

They're the most meaningful time of the season.

For us to only have five games leading into the biggest championship in Canada, which is the Grey Cup, just felt like it just wasn't enough to build that momentum.

So we borrowed a page from curling and their page playoff system.
