Hey man, Jason Kelsey said he feels like the league is drifting away from Sundays being the most important day of the football week. He said it's an institution at this point, the NFL playing games on Sunday. With every day that we can keep adding in there, we're getting away from that just a little bit. And I worry that I think the game got big. One of the reasons it got so popular and big was because of all of the games. It was an event.

3:44Sunday in the NFL. Sunday is the NFL, and everybody set their week apart to tune into their games that were happening on Sunday, and you're watching kind of all of them, okay? He said only Tuesdays were spared from the NFL calendar this year with games slated to be held on the other six days of the week. Joe. Yes. What do you think it is? You agree with him? You disagree with him? What do you think is being watered down? Like, what do you think? this is what I I want to have football any day that I can watch football like any day possible I would love to watch it you know what I'm saying like football for sure I understand what he's saying about Sundays is that's the day everybody knows football is on Sundays you can sit down what go to church after church you can watch football all day so that's the thing I know what he's saying about respecting on Sundays The one thing is for me is if I'm chilling at the house and I'm free, the one thing I want to watch is football.

5:00If there's a professional football game on, if it's Thursday, if it's a Monday, if it's a Wednesday, if it's Thanksgiving, if it's Christmas Eve, if it's New Year's Eve, it's Memorial Day. any day that's possible for i'm trying to watch football like a thousand percent like so i and then the thing is with the streaming sites how difficult they make it to watch football now that's the part where i can understand where it's like no i want if you can find a legitimate spot to watch football on monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday i want to watch football any day i can watch football making it difficult for me to watch football is something that's you know i'm saying that's a whole nother topic but sunday i love it that football you know every sunday sundays is is the day you get to watch football but any day i can watch football i want to watch it so i can i can i feel them but i want to watch football as much as i possibly can hey listen this is what this is what everybody's failing to to realize especially like guys like us that that played the game or guys that are you know into like the you know the whole what happens when you play too many games and you don't have a big enough roster and all that yeah all this can be changed you could change the roster they could do a lot of things to expand to be able to do more play more games all that other stuff but the thing it comes down to is it's a business first and foremost a business okay yeah they are moving away from it being sunday that is the pivotal sunday will still be the pivotal day you'll have 50 000 games on sunday but they have every day from August to that first, second week of February to be football.

6:46They want every day to be football. That's why you have all these expandings into these international games. They're expanding the international game schedule. They're going to more countries. They're having more games away. Why? They want to maximize their business. Why? They felt like they done maxed out of what they could do in the United States. And you know what? Euro spend, pound spin all that spin okay so they're like we need to we don't feel like we can expand anymore here we got to hit the other markets and that's what they're doing right now and i truly believe dude you give it time they're going to have one or two teams in one of these foreign countries and i believe that'll happen probably after the next collective bargaining agreement at some point if they don't, as long as they go and do what they're supposed to do as far as the NFLPA and make sure they don't do a deal before that 2030 timeframe, because if they do a deal before that 2030 timeframe, it will not be in favor of the players because the NFL has too much going for them right now to even accept or take or allow anything to be taken away because you have that until then.

7:58It's not a good business decision by them. But the point is, from August until February, the first week of February, second week of February, that is supposed to be NFL football. Can't nobody jump into that, man. You got to realize something, man. When you look at the revenue that's made, if you take NBA and you take Major League Baseball and you put them two together, currently they're saying$12.1 billion,$11.3 billion. So you're talking about 23.4 billion, right? Yeah. The NFL makes 23 billion. They're just 400 million short of that. They're making almost more than any two professional sports in the United States combined together.

8:50More than that. Like, damn near. They're only 400 ,000 short. It used to be more. Now it's a little less. It used to be more. Why? Why? Because they were hitting all those markets. Now they're like, you know what? We done got to where we can get here. We got to hit these other markets. Like, we got to go here. Like, you got to go hit to this platform. You got to go live here. You got to go YouTube here. You got to go Netflix here. You got to go, you know, whatever it is here. like we have to have a game here there and all that so we can get all this revenue generate all this money and make it to where you know what if you want to see this game or that game whatever you got to have this app that app okay which allows them to get which allows the like dude and when you go and you go to international that's a whole nother revenue stream that they ain't even really tapped into yet.

9:40Like, it's going to be a football season of every game. They lucky they ain't jumped on Tuesday yet. And the only reason I think they ain't jumped on Tuesday yet is because that's the normal off day. They're probably trying to figure out some way to switch it around of how to do it so that you can have seven days a week of football. Stagger that thing however, especially if they go and expand the rosters, get you more players like a full true practice squad and everything else this could jump easily to a 20 game 21 game season with two bye weeks and blah blah blah and now you done extended that thing now you go from you know that that that maybe you start in july now maybe you go go go july and training camp start in june you go all the way till you know end of february beginning of march like they can't hey you can't get enough football can't nobody get enough football like they love what fam's gonna be super happy they get that you're exactly right and when we always keep talking about the same stuff man when we get on this about the games it's a money grab you know it's about the dough and we always get to talking about it like like it's a business and people when when like you got to put it in there and when you talk about money and making money and the owners and the tv deals and all of these different ads stuff yes if they were to put their self in the same position as these owners it it's not it's it's a business you're trying to make money you're in the business of making money everybody on the show everybody that talks when you talk about people and you just remove yourself from like the sport of it and you put yourself in the position of the person that is thinking or trying to do what it is they're doing we're trying to do a thing and make money when they put that and they just like the grass turf the field when they put themselves in the thing why would they do that they're trying to make money when they put their self in that position then they like it just it makes way more sense you know what i'm saying so with me and you're sitting there like dude they're they're netflix and the apps and the hulu's yes this is all about dub you know what i'm saying like it's good because we love the game we love football move the little league of us like when you playing as a child all that stuff it's cool but when you get it to the real business of it these dudes are trying to make dough, the eyeballs, all of that stuff.

12:29NFL is in this business of making money. That's when it gets to that part, Evo. Yeah. Money in the power, baby. Money in the power. I ain't falling short because I got money in the power. Boy, you don't know nothing about that. That's old school. Yeah, you wouldn't know nothing about that. That's okay. It's okay, man. It's okay.

First meetings with quarterback Brian Callahan, you know, just pulling up my tape and just going over situationally like, you know, is it worth the risk here in this situation? That is what we talked about a ton. is just situationally just being smart. I just hate that time of not being out there with my teammates.

17:10So I obviously understand the most important thing is to be out there. You just grow and learn from things. I think I'm going to do a good job this year for sure. Joe, you think he going to learn and grow, or is he just saying the right thing? I think he got hit in the floor. You keep getting hit upside your head and flying out of bounds and getting in that protocol. I mean, NFL is not for long. And I think hopefully he understands, you know what I'm saying, quarterback position. Your best availability is your availability. Yes, sir. If you can't be out there and playing, then you're not going to help your team.

17:58So I know you want to rah-rah, you want to get that extra yard, but at the end of the day, for your team, you got to make that business decision and be able to slide. Like, we know you got heart. We know that you love the game. But if you're not out there, you can't help us. So for a quarterback, that tough guy stuff, it's all good. But like, for a linebacker, it's different. When you're a quarterback, we need you, brother. Slide. Like, all that heart, all that stuff, like, we got you. We know you want to do it, but if Debo hits you in your head and you're not out there with us, then all that stuff is non-invoid.

18:38You know what I'm saying? So please, Jackson Dart, we know that you want to be out there. We know that you're not scary, but slide. Your availability is going to be way more. You're going to help us out a whole lot more if you get on the ground. So, yes. I think I think it was more of a or it it had been more of a learning experience for him realizing that, you know, you could do those things in college. But everybody in the NFL is that dog in college that you can't do that against, even though they may not be represented as, oh, this person is great. You don't get into the NFL by being average.

19:17You just you just don't. Every person in the NFL was the best player on their high school team, their college team, or at some point was the top in that, you know, whatever that may have been. And now they're here and it's not playing a game no more, dude. I'm out here trying to feed my family. I'm trying to make generational wealth. And you getting an inch more in this play is going to stop that. I'm going to do everything I can to put you down before you get that inch. so that that fourth down now is a turnover on downs. Like, it's not happening. So I think his knowledge of real life, and plus in something else, like you get into the league, like you got to realize like, yo, hey, if I'm running out on this person over here, this corner, he ain't a physical dude.

20:05He might push me out. But this dude over here, oh, he go try and lay the wood. Like, you got to know, like, you know what? I normally want to slide like a half step later, but now I see who's coming. Let me slide a full step because I may slide a little too late, get caught. And now you do that head, hit the ground, bounce off the turf. Now you sleep. They lost you for the game and you lose your quarterback, especially when you don't have a quality backup that could come in and at least, you know, come to the standard of what, you know, it was that that person or that quarterback was that you're in trouble.

20:43So. So I think he doesn't realize that it's a lot more safety. It's a lot safer to take care of yourself and not worry about being tough. Like, you got to be available, buddy. You can't go out here and just get wild. trying to get an extra yard in the first quarter of a game that is tied up. No. To hell with that. To hell with that. Elimination game. Get out. Okay. It's going to get you that first that might get you. Yeah, okay. Maybe. Yeah. But no. Super Bowl. Super Bowl. Die for that. Die for that. Go hard. When it matters. When it matters, man. And Florida's governor, dude, Ron DeSantis, he signed a Senate Bill 58, also known as the Teddy Bridgewater Act, into law on Friday.

21:52So the law allows head coaches of middle school and high school teams to spend up to$15 ,000 of their own funds to help improve student athletes' food, transportation, and recovery services. Bridgewater previously served as Miami Northwestern High School's football head coach, helping the team finish with a 12-2 record and capturing a Division 3A Florida High School Athletic Association title. But he was suspended after admitting to paying for the team's expenses that were not being paid for by the school, including$700 per week for Uber rides,$1 ,300 per week for athletic recovery service, and$2 ,200 per week for pre-game meals during the season.

22:46Joe, you like this?

22:52What do you think?

22:55Bro, this, this, this right here is kind of throwing me off. Why is it throwing you off? You hear me, Debo? Yeah, I hear you. You said it's throwing you off. Why is it throwing you off? I mean, because

23:15I think that what Teddy Bridgewater is doing is good. Like, I'll,

23:25Why wouldn't he? Why is it not a good thing? It is a good thing. He signed a bill in the act. Why would they like suspend him? Oh, well, that's why Ron DeSantos. No, I'm saying. No, this.

23:48I'm saying it is a good thing, but I'm saying like, why at the beginning? remember they was trying to do a good thing. That's what you're saying beforehand.

24:00Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, I think it's because I ain't gonna lie, dude. I'm kind of lost on why he was suspended beforehand because you got NLI and kids now can use the NLI for high school. NIL, whatever it is. For high school. NLI, LI, LIA, whatever. in something. NIL. Money. They're getting money. And you can now get that in high school. Right? Yes. College. So I think somebody was hating. It was probably one of the schools they beat that was hating. Yeah. So here it is, Joe. This right here is one of those things that I actually love. You know? Oh, you love this. I love this, Joe. Love, Joe. Me too.

24:53Because you have to realize, Joe, like a lot of these kids don't have access to money, like to get a lot of these things. Or even like he said, he was doing Uber. Some kids don't even have the ability to get transportation to and from practice, dude, because the buses don't run after practice. You know what I'm saying? Nothing is going to get these kids back home once they're done with practice. So how do you do that? he can't take everybody home so what is he doing he's like you know what i'm gonna find i'm gonna do what i gotta do i'm gonna pay for ubers to get you guys home okay okay and i'm gonna do this because it's a great thing to do okay so when it come down to it now he's doing the ubers food i want to be able to get my kids fed post game pre-game you know what i'm saying like nine Nine-two.

25:46Listen here, man. This is what nine-two feels like, okay? I think when you allow these kids to be able to do that, first off, it keeps them in sports because if they can't get to and from, a lot of them, it's over with. They can't get to and from sports. They got to quit. So now you lose the ability to have them into these programs, to understand and be in that structure, to have a possibility of having a mentor from the coaches that's coaching you. And then now you're building accountability, you know, discipline just from the work that comes from playing, you know, football, hell, any, you know, competitive sport.

26:22So that's something that they would lose. And then, yo, bro, food? Like, you got to be able to feed the kids, man. You got a lot of these programs that are, you know, so heavily for education, which I understand school is for education, but they don't understand the dynamics of what happens when you lose these athletic programs and these kids don't get these opportunities because for some of these kids, man, this athletic program or this opportunity to play in this program is the only way they're going to have a chance to get to college because they can't afford to get to college. And maybe they don't have the grades that are great enough to get them an academic scholarship.

26:57So this is their way to go and be able to make money, to be able to get an education so that they can go out and get into the world and be able to make money. Like, it's so much in between that. And then you have organizations and you have, you know, sponsors and people that do extra to try and make up and supplement for that lack that these schools don't have. I mean, we had something here in Pittsburgh, you know, where, you know, we had one of our somebody that ended up giving, you know, a lot of money so that it was the city schools in Pittsburgh could keep their sports programs because they were going to lose them if they hadn't come up with like two or three million bucks.

27:39So you had somebody that stepped into the void and was like, yo, this is what needs to be done because this is what sports have done for me. And if without sports, I wouldn't be where I'm at now. And I don't think a lot of people understand that concept because they haven't been in that position where this is all I got, or I think this is all I got. Or actually, it may be like, yo, this is the only way I'm going to get it. to the level that I can be able to secure my future. And you need that sports program for that child to be able to do that. 1 ,000%. And I think this is... Support for the show comes from Public, the investing platform for those who take it seriously.
