| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, this is your sexy breaking news. |
| 0:19.3 | Why? I don't know. |
| 0:22.5 | Honestly, I just, this song was here, and I don't know how it came to be, but it's just a thing. |
| 0:28.5 | But breaking news, and I don't plan on doing this for every single one, but this is pretty |
| 0:32.0 | big and kind of early. |
| 0:33.8 | We've got the first game announcement. |
| 0:37.1 | The Green Bay Packers will play at the L.A. Rams week 12 on Wednesday, the 25th, the day prior to Thanksgiving. |
| 0:49.9 | This will be the first ever Thanksgiving Eve game. |
| 0:53.8 | I don't know exactly how I feel about it. |

| 1:41.4 | the week 13 game is on the West Coast, because this is on a Wednesday, we're going to have an extended week. |
| 1:46.9 | So it's still not ideal, but it would give us a little bit of extra time being a midweek game. |
| 1:53.2 | But expect that week 11 to be probably either a Thursday game or a buy week. Because, I mean, Sunday to Wednesday is a quick |
| 2:04.4 | turnaround. I mean, Sunday to Thursday sucks. Sunday to Sunday to Wednesday is freaking brutal. |
