So I saw the NHL came out with their schedule for next season. The Florida Panthers did a whole thing on, I think, did the Florida Panthers send a tweet out for every game ever? All 84. It's 84 now. Dave, did you know that's 84 games in the NHL schedule now?
I did know it, and I didn't care for the news when I heard it first, and I don't care for you bringing it up once again here. Okay, very good.
I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
Yeah, not only did they do that thing on Twitter where they posted 84 tweets for each game, they posted an eight-hour video on YouTube that you could put on your smart TV as filler.
Make me watch that.
Yeah. You can go to sleep to that.
So the NHL came out with their schedule yesterday, but Adam Silver yesterday at Fanatics Fest, quote, where LeBron plays affects the schedule.
What NBA scheduling drama started the show and why does LeBron’s decision matter?
I'd like him to make his announcement already so we could finish the schedule. That's a funny little side note where they have to make their Christmas games and their opening night games and how many national TV games they're going to give, you know, Team X, whatever it is. The Miami Heat. Okay, so the Heat's national TV allotment I don't think will be affected by if LeBron goes to play because they have Giannis. No, I think you're wrong here. You don't think they're going to get a maximum amount of games right now just from having Giannis? No. Because there's a maximum. It's not like we can put every game on.
No, I don't think they'll get the max. They get the max if they have LeBron.
What is the max? Do we have any idea?
I have no idea, but they'll get... I think it's 22. I was going to say, I feel like it's something in the 20s.
I made it up. You don't think they're getting the maximum allotment of games with Giannis Antetokounmpo joining Miami? I think you're wrong. I think they will have the maximum.
I don't think I'm wrong. I think I'm right. I think you're wrong. Milwaukee wasn't on national TV all that much. Miami, when they don't have LeBron... Well, they stuck the year before. They stuck. When Miami doesn't have LeBron, they don't get the max.
Well, forget about the number of national TV games.
It's 22. 22? It's 34. Really? Well, like I told you, I made it up. Are we just shouting numbers?
Yes and, brother. What do you want from me? So what it does affect is, like, all right, if he goes to Miami, then, you know, we need to make sure Miami versus, you know, Cleveland is national TV. That would be a good game. You know, we need to make sure Miami versus L.A. is on national TV. Don't forget the Knicks. So it's just funny how you have a billion-dollar industry, the television rights with the NBA—
has to sit around and wait. It's got to be Nick Spurs, right? No matter where LeBron goes. For? It's got, for like the main event, the afternoon game. No, for Christmas.
Well, the Knicks always have the noon Christmas game at MSG.
Yeah, is that a tradition? Yes. They always have the noon one because they suck. No, I think it's a tradition. It's a New York tradition. No, it's not. It's a recent tradition. Okay.
It's a recent tradition. Again, we're going to do the thing. We're just saying things. No, it's not. You say one thing, I say another thing. No, no. How long does this date back? How long does this date back? Oh. Probably since they did five games on Christmas Day.
All right, so that's like a six-year tradition. Cool. They can move them to the afternoon. It'll be Spurs-Knicks. Do you want to play some bet right now?
You can report it. They're not putting Spurs-Knicks at noon. They're not doing that.
How did the hosts debate which team gets the maximum national TV games?
So it sounds like you and I are going to bet. Yeah, they're not going to do that. Now, I don't care who the Knicks are going to play. The wager is... Wait, what time is the NFL game?
Because now the noon window might be the marquee window for the NBA.
Nope, that's not what we're wagering on.
