You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Well, believe it or not, we now have that glorious spectacular Friday, which usually is a Thursday. I know we had four games last night, but I never really dive into the play in games because it always feels like an appetizer for a big meal that you know, you don't really need. Did I watch? Yes.

I think that myself I've got so many more games. You know, it's like when they bring the bread out and you're like, but I've ordered a steak. Do I really want to eat the bread and fill myself up? That's kind of the way that I feel about the play in games, even if they are outstanding. Do I still bet on them? Yes. But this is when the steak basically arrives on the table. And usually it's on a Thursday this year. It's going to be on a Friday. We have got a ton of games that are headed towards all of our televisions. I hope you guys are.

I hope you've gotten your bracket in. I hope that you have gotten your bets in. I'm going to give you some of my picks as we move throughout the course of this show a lot to dive into.

But with the NCAA tournament finally back. And by the way, I do think if you look at the overall sports and landscape.

The first time we've really lost was the NCAA tournament right now. We lost a quantity of games in Major League Baseball. We lost a quantity of games in NHL and in the NBA.

But really, I mean, we had the masters in November. I think we lost some of the golf tournaments, but the biggest loss I would say for the actual sports calendar that was impacted by COVID was the NCAA tournament because we lost the 2020 NCAA tournament.

And then we got a return. We got a variation of at least every other sport that was able to be played.

But even with the NCAA tournament coming back, we have got the NFL parachuting in with some major news. And I actually think this Dishon Watson news is massively over writing everything else that's going on in the world of sports.

And I think that's exactly why that is in a moment. But first of all, NFL, if you're a fan of watching the NFL on television, NBC CBS Fox, Disney slash ABC slash AESPN. They got all their new deals worked out. They go all the way up until 2033.

NFL players are getting paid handsomely for their services. The NFL now producing $10 billion that's billion with a B a year in television revenue alone.

And if you're used to watching the NFC on Fox or the AFC on CBS Sunday night football on NBC Monday night football on ESPN, not a lot changing there.

But Thursday night football in a couple of years is now scheduled to go to Amazon, which will be a challenge for a lot of people. That is a big story in terms of streaming, elbowing in to the cable and traditional broadcasts networks and starting to have a big influence.

But to me, as big of a story as that is in the NFL, I mean, you want to talk about just absolutely cannonballing into the NCAA tournament. They announced their new television deal right as the NCAA tournament was scheduled to tip off.

They couldn't have announced it on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday. No, no, no, they want to soak up every ounce of attention that they possibly can. That's not even considering all of the different free agent news that have been breaking throughout this week.

So the NFL finally announces their television extensions all the way up until 2033.

But that's not even anywhere near the biggest story in the NFL right now. It's Dishon Watson and the allegations of impropriety that have now been levied by a bunch of women. Now, three, I believe lawsuits have officially been filed, but there are reports of nine or more lawsuits potentially being on their way.

All from the sources and all alleging in some way sexual assault by Dishon Watson. This is a monster story. And I don't know how it's going to be resolved and I don't know what exactly is going to be the outcome.

But for a long time on this show, we've been talking about Dishon Watson in the context of demanding a trade and where he might end up as a result of that trade.

I now think that with all of these allegations coming out against Dishon Watson, it almost makes him untradable. And also it calls into question.
