Alright, here we go, Overdrive, off and running. TSN 1050 on the TSN app, your home smart speaker, up on TSN 4, up on YouTube Live. Brian Hayes, Keegan Matheson, and Dave Bestruck in here. How's everybody doing this afternoon? Doing well, fellas. Happy to be in. How we doing? Great to see you guys. Couldn't be better. Couldn't be better. It's not possible to be better. I love that. Would not be possible. That's an optimistic viewpoint. You know why, Hazy? Tonight there's NFL football. Yes, we do. And we've got the Argos back home. How about that? The Argos are actually playing in Toronto, and we've got the Hall of Fame game, which means we will not have a Thursday without football for like six months or something like that.
Bryan Hayes 0:51
It's a long, long time now. Thursday night football. Rejoice. I love it. And I love that. The preseason is what it is, and they've cut games down, and a lot of players just don't play, and the game will be, I'm sure, terrible tonight. But there will be a line, and I'll bet it. Best bets coming up later in the hour.
Keegan Matheson 1:07
I already have.
Bryan Hayes 1:08
Stay tuned. I love the line tonight. I'll tell you why. But, you know, there was obviously when we all grew up, it was Sunday night. It was 1 o'clock, 4 o'clock, and Monday night football. That was it. That was it. And kids today, as I yell towards the clouds, although actually I support the clouds. This is a good thing because I love the more the merrier. This is great about football. But, man, it used to be if you weren't ready to watch football from, like, 1 until about 7 o'clock on a Sunday, that was it. No Thursdays, no Saturdays, no Sunday night football. Now we've got Wednesday night football.
Keegan Matheson 1:45
That's right. Oh, I love it.
Bryan Hayes 1:46
They play on Fridays.
Keegan Matheson 1:47
I hope they find a new time zone to play in. Yeah.
Bryan Hayes 1:49
I'll watch that. Oh, they'll figure it out. Like, I think they're going to Australia to start the year this year.
Keegan Matheson 1:54
They are.
Bryan Hayes 1:55
I think the Niners are playing out there. Yeah. So, yeah, we're going to get football like a Wednesday, a Thursday, a Friday, Saturday. We're getting every single day the NFL's playing now. Love it. Who's running the NFL? It's like Johnny Infantino's running the NFL. The more the merrier. Well, he's in trouble. He's still getting pushed. Everyone in Europe, he's European. They're like, get rid of this guy. They don't like him. I can't stand Infantino.
Dave Feschuk 2:20
Do not besmirch our friends at the NFL because Gianni Infantino thinks he's an operator, but he ain't much of an operator. He's got a massive revolt on his hands now after he attempted to sell the World Cup at apparently a big discount. to Trump connections in the USA. It's not going over well. That's not going over well. In the rest of the world.
Bryan Hayes 2:42
I mean, the prime minister is even saying, just get rid of this guy. He was very chummy with him a couple weeks ago, but he's turned on him now.
Keegan Matheson 2:48
When you're too corrupt for international soccer. Right, exactly. That's an accomplishment. That really is.
Bryan Hayes 2:53
Yeah, and when politicians are like, I don't know about that one. Like, I'm not sure about this.
Dave Feschuk 2:58
It's great.
Bryan Hayes 2:58
That's not good.
Dave Feschuk 3:00
You've got Sepp Blatter, who got run out of FIFA as the president of FIFA for corruption-related issues, and he is outraged at the corruption of the Gianni Infantino regime. It is caricature stuff, man. It's hard to believe. He's like a cartoon, except he's real.
Bryan Hayes 3:18
Yeah, he's got that vibe to him. You see him at the World Cup draw, you're like, who is this guy?
Keegan Matheson 3:24
Perfect name for it, too.
Bryan Hayes 3:25
Johnny Infantino. It's so perfect.
Keegan Matheson 3:28
It's like I wrote a bad book about corruption.
Bryan Hayes 3:30
Beats multiple languages. I'm sure a smart guy and a... Probably a gregarious guy, probably a captivating presence, but there's a lot of football purists that are not happy with the whole routine, including going to 48 teams the way that they have. Now, they're never putting that horse back in the barn. That's not going backwards. Even if Infantino's out, they're not going to 32 teams in four years. That was one of his successful things.
