Who are the key hosts on today's episode?
Oh yeah, welcome to the Dan Levitard Show sans Dan Levitard. But don't worry, I got you. I'm here with my dog, Hawk, and it's not just him. We got a whole bunch of people. Give me some music, Chris. In the EP chair. Oh, this is nice. It's Chris Cody, a.k.a. Christmas Cody, a.k.a. Big Red.
Am I supposed to say anything?
Nope. Back to you. It was good. I like that. Next to him, we got Roy, the Iceman, a.k.a. the boy toy. Roy Bellamy. What's up? Love you, Roy. In the back row behind Roy, we got Jessica Smetana, a.k.a. Smetty Wap, a.k.a. Trap Queen. Smetty King. Why are you still dabbing? Smitty gang, we dab forever! Just waiting for them to put me on camera. There it is! Dab in, I see you. Let's go! Across from them, we'll jump that. We got my guy, my security blanket, Charlie Kravitz, a.k.a. the Vanilla Snack. Hit him with a salute. What up? Curly, Justin Timberfake. Let's go! And our number one go-to guy, the quickest man in history, quite possibly the most talented dude in this building right now. He also dressed like he cared about himself, which I appreciate, which is rare for the Levitard Show. What? It's Andrew the Hawk Hawkins.
Let's go! And Mike. I thought that was Mike's intro until you said Hawk. I'm like, man, he is quick. Quick as a whip.
The fastest man to do what?
I don't care about myself.
He's witty. Oh, man. Hey, guys. Going to have a good show today. I want to start with some football because it's me and Hawk in here.
What is the discussion about the NFL's 18-game schedule?
Let's talk ball.
Talking football. Real ball knowers in here. Hut, hut. And it's the only sport that, like, this country really cares about. All other sports are tertiary. There's one sport that's main, and that's football, and we finna get some more of it, supposedly. So, Hawk, 18 games.
I don't see a lot of supportive faces at that comment. Yeah. It was... Hold on. Smitty went right to the laptop. Roy was checking his emails. I don't feel good about it.
It's like a niche sport equinox going on recently, especially down here in South Florida.
So don't start with football? But if it was in terms of country NIL, football would take like 80% of the pot, right?
It does in actual NIL. Yeah.
Yeah, so it also contributes 100%. I guess it doesn't need an analogy.
You're right.
You want to start with some niche sports equinox? No, run the damn ball. Start with football. Run the rock. FB dive. Oh, yeah. So the 18-game thing is something we've been talking about for a while. Even back when you and I were in the league, they put it on the table in the 2011 negotiations, and we promptly slapped that shit right off the table. But we knew it was coming back around because the NFL has – a ton of power and leverage, and money is what matters. So what are you thinking, Hawk, about the 18-game schedule that the owners are now at the owner meeting and the breakers discussing it today?
Number one, we're old as hell, right? I think this is the overarching lesson here. is that we're all old, and you guys as well, not just me and Neek being fossil football players, because when they introduced it, it seemed so ridiculous. But here's the tactic that the league always uses and it always works. I remember in, I think it was 2012, they were like, hey, we're gonna mandate that you wear knee pads. And it was a uproar. And that sounds crazy. Everyone was like, what? We gotta wear knee pads? I'm gonna be so slow. And we tried to revolt against having to put, and it's like little fake pads that you can't even see, but just the fact that we had to put them on, because we didn't have to wear knee pads. It was just thigh pads.
