Mr. Weintraub, listen, my friend, we are getting closer and closer to the start of the Michigan

football season, but we're getting closer to the NFL season.

Hey, we got, we got preseason football on the horizon, man.

We're almost there.

So, Sam, I thought about this at some point yesterday.

I think it was maybe when I was driving home. I was picking up pizza last night. I'm driving home. And I was thinking about this week and how on Thursday you have the Hall of Fame game. So yes, the Lions are they're going to get things started. They're going against Hardbus Chargers. Now, it's mainly going to be guys that are competing for a roster spot of the practice squad or trying to, you know, fighting for their NFL lives. So that's mainly what it doesn't matter. Because you're going to hear whistles and pads crunching. You're going to watch football. There's actual football. Sam, the next day on Friday is August. You know what happens in August? Michigan football plays their first game of the season in August. So at the end of this week, we will be in the month of Michigan football. We're 33 days away as it is. And I'm not trying to rush through. So everybody that's listening, whether you're a teacher or whatever, I'm not trying to rush through the last month of summer.

So, like, it's right around the corner.

Like, we are there pretty much because football is now back.

We've had the fans are now getting back to go to training camp to check out the squad a little bit down in Allen Park.

Yeah, it's got to give you a little extra pep to know that, Sam, we're in watch list release a week. We're going to get started hearing all the names of the watch list coming out. We're going to, it's, it's that time. Yeah, it's exciting. I love the, when you get past the media days window, we're going to get the official roster, you know, update for Michigan at some point, you know, later this week, probably on Wednesday.

Yeah, it's the, we're getting there.

It's exciting.
