Hey there, boys and girls. Welcome to another edition of the business of sports with Andrew Brand.

It's a Brandt's Rant's edition. This week, music you hear underscoring me, that's of my son Sam Brand, musical

producer out in Los Angeles doing his thing. I'm going to get in a lot of things.

Again, what's going on in the business of sports amid COVID right now. I want to give my thoughts on the mini outbreak in the NFL, the college football return,

some of the thoughts on the ratings that go on out there.

And then, of course, the Tyrod Taylor.

I had pro football doc David Chow on last week.

I hope you enjoyed that episode.

Talking about all things injuries, and we did get into a little bit on Ty Rob, but I want to give you my thoughts.

So all those things ahead on the Brants Rance Rance edition, we are at a sports equinox right now. I don't

know if that's the right use of the word, but as I sit here today on Wednesday, September 30th,

we have baseball playoffs. We have NBA finals beginning

tonight with LeBron and the Lakers against Jimmy Butler and that incredibly impressive group

from the Miami Heat. Of course we have NFL. Of course we have college football, which I'll talk

about a little bit more.

We have the French Open going on overseas.

We have the hockey Stanley Cup champion crowned a couple nights ago.
