All right, we Nick Wright episode 224.

A ton to do today.

The NFL officially changed.

It's kickoff rule.

I'm actually fascinated by that. I think it's a good change. We do need to get into the gambling

scandals now plural encircling our sports leagues.

Also, since you've last seen me, I had surgery on my arm.

I have a steel plate there, so that's why you see this wrap,

but otherwise I'm doing great.

Before we get to any of that though, this is not a sports topic, this is just a, uh, my thoughts on something that just happened.

So overnight, if you haven't seen it, a ship

crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore and the bridge collapsed.

And obviously thoughts and if you're the prayerful type prayers with the missing people and with anyone in the moment directly impacted

But the reason I'm starting the show with that is that will be one of the three

maybe one of the two single biggest things to happen in this country this year.

I don't think people have fully yet, it just happened hours ago, wrapped their minds around what that bridge in that port city being destroyed by a ship

gone awry means but what it means for people's livelihoods, what it means for

commerce, what it means for trade, what it means for a city that couldn't really take many more body blows what it means for

the their economy is right now almost unfathomable and so I don't want to start the show off on a down note, but this is, this is the type of worldwide event that I don't know if, and again it just happened overnight, so a lot of you

guys are probably just finding about it right now, but the impact of it and the import of that is almost impossible

to overstate.

So if you have friends, family, loved ones, anyone, obviously you're checking on and make sure they're safe if they're in the Baltimore area, make sure they weren't on the bridge, anything like that.
