| 0:09.5 | So before the Michigan ones, real quick. |
| 0:11.3 | The NFL, as I said, they're going to release their schedule on Thursday. |
| 0:14.6 | We know the Lions are hosting eight games at Ford Field. |
| 0:16.8 | They're playing eight road games and they are playing one international game. |
| 0:20.0 | We learned yesterday more detail. |
| 0:23.0 | The international game is in Munich, Germany on November 15th. |
| 0:26.4 | It's going to be 9.30 a.m. Eastern time, and I believe on Fox, because the NFL network games have been farmed because of their partnership now with them being taken over by ESPN. |
