No more slow drip process.

But how do we feel about it?

As we close things out, we'll hear from you, segment number three, calls, texts, a lot of great feedback. And now that we've got the schedule in our hand, you know, trust and believe, there's plenty of feedback about the schedule. So we'll do that segment number three. Segment number two, I'll give you three

big standout moments or big keys to what I see looking at the schedule. What stood out to me the most?

I have three things that I want to focus in on. Just three, not win total either. Not win,

loss total. That's not it at all. That's not part of the three. But I do have three things that stood out to me. We'll break that down in segment number two. Here is segment number one, news and notes of the day, and we'll jump right into it. Of course, the schedule has a lot to do with it, but also Raiders ownership will lead things off. How about this? Saw this tweet on Thursday afternoon from my guy, Vinnie Bonsignor. Per sources, there's a Raiders ownership transaction on the agenda

at next week's NFL owners meeting Orlando,

in which Silver Lake Executive Egon Durbin will acquire 25% of the club

to increase his group's stake of the Raiders to around 40%.

That got everyone really in a tizzy.

And I'm not going to lie.

When I saw it, I was like, wait, what? Didn't Egon Durbin just buy into the Raiders? And he did. So I was thinking, okay, so what's going on? If he's up to 40%, where is that going to put Mark Davis? So of course, I had to do a little bit of deep diving. And I saw this reaction for a lot of Raider Nation.

So it wasn't just me, and that's this reaction for a lot of Raider Nation.

So it wasn't just me, and that's why I find it important to lead things off on the show today with this.

Because the 25% being sold is not of Mark Davis's state.

It's of other owners that actually, you know, purchased into the team back when the Raiders were still in Oakland.

It was a $10 billion, you know, evaluation of the team as well.

So that ownership group that sold off their 25% to Egon Durbin's group,

well, they got a big time of return on investment.
