What insights does Mike Florio share about the upcoming NFL schedule release?
the score ladies and gentlemen joining us now is a man who's got a massive brain mike florio he used to be a lawyer then he decided to take his talents to the internet nbc sports i'm sorry i'm late i was talking to robert craft that isn't the time for an airing of grievances pro football talk i got a lot of problems with you people no you're gonna hear about it on chicago sports radio 104.3 the score i want to keep talking legos
Who doesn't want to keep talking Legos? I feel like it's Lego season. It may be for Mike Forio, our weekly guest. We love to have him on on Wednesdays, the creator and editor-in-chief of Pro Football Talk. He is at Pro Football Talk on X and he joins us with fireworks because Mike knows how to make it happen on twitch.tv slash thescorechicago. Mike, how are you today?
If I ever lose that part of me that is still eight years old, that's when I want to check out because I enjoy every week doing that and having the fireworks pop up.
It's fun. Yeah, that's what life is.
How does social media influence perceptions of NFL schedule leaks?
You know, it's about the little fun things. What I feel like is... I don't know if it's fun. I feel like we're just on high alert because I don't know how the leak gods work when it comes to who finds out what regarding the NFL schedule. But every single hour, it's like somebody else has another game or there's something that comes out. What do you think of just how the games that we do know about have come out so far this week?
Well, the problem with social media, you never know what to believe. There are the people who are informed. There are the people who are misinformed, who believe they're informed. And then there are the people who are deliberately trying to mess with others and just putting crap out there.
What are the potential matchups for the Chicago Bears this season?
And they get a tiny little dopamine rush when someone falls for it. So the best course is to focus on the people you really trust, the reports that you believe are accurate. And one of the challenges for me is to keep my mouth shut because I know some things I'm not allowed to share. And is there a temptation at times to run my own mouth to someone who could then post something that I know that I'm not supposed to say? Yes, there is a temptation. I can be trusted to keep secrets. And we keep the secrets until tomorrow night at 7 o'clock Central when everyone will know the schedule.
Mike, we don't keep secrets on this show. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody. You need to reveal everything you know.
What challenges does Aaron Rodgers face with the Steelers?
What do you know about the Bears? You know something, sir.
The Bears will play 17 games this year. Nine at home, eight on the road.
Big if true. Also, I mean, I think you guys did throw this out there. You and Chris Sims, that associate of yours, Seahawks. A lot of people are speculating about Seahawks and Bears to open the season.
It's down to four possibilities because there were nine. Home opponents for the Seahawks.
How does the NFL finalize its schedule and what factors are involved?
Five of them are already spoken for based upon games that we know have been announced. Rams 49ers, that one's been out there for a while in Australia. That takes two of the opponents off the table. Cowboys Giants, both of those teams play in Seattle this year. They're both off the board. And the Chiefs go to Seattle this year. We know they play Monday night against the Broncos. That leaves four teams. Chargers, Cardinals, Patriots, and Bears. So, 25% chance.
What impact does Aaron Rodgers' situation have on the Steelers' season?
as to whether or not it will be the Chicago Bears. And 100% chance as to whether I know the truth and just won't. See?
Here we are again.
Here we are again.
100% chance as to whether you know the truth or 100% chance that you do know the truth and you just can't tell us.
I do know the truth, and I can't tell you. We're going to get you.
We're going to break you. We are going to break you by the end of this segment.
What rumors are surrounding A.J. Brown's potential trade to the Patriots?
Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk.
I can't be bought. I can't be bought. Ray. He says it in Michael Clayton. I'm not the guy you kill. I'm the guy you buy.
Let me ask you a follow-up question, Mike. Just based on that, how long has this schedule been finalized? Here's why I ask that.
How do NFL teams prepare for the schedule release and its implications?
Because if you're the NFL... It's real hot when it comes to the Patriots right now.
