This has to be one of the best walk-ups for one of our regular guests, right?

It's just such as...

It's so baller.

It's perfect.

Jay, hearing some big pimping.

That means Dee Smith joins us.

Former executive director of the NFLPA.

He's got a new book out called Turf Wars.

I know this is a big deal. The fight for the soul of America's

game. What's up, Dee? We've been planning to have you on about this book for like six months,

and we're going to have you in studio. We're going to do a couple segments, and then you blow us off.

You're traveling all over the country. I'm sorry, but I had to be in New York, but the good news is I did have dinner with Alex

last night. He said hello. I never get to stay anymore. Nice, nice. All right, so is the book

officially out yet, or is it still on pre-order? Pre-order comes out on June 10th. You can pre-order

on Amazon or Barnes & Noble or Bookshop. Any your favorite

bookstores. Release date is 610, my friend.

All right. So is all the writing done? Is it done? Is it done? Or you still tweaking it?

Yeah, all the writing's done. There's a few, you know, tweaks because I'm, you know, a complete control freak.

I know that comes as a shock to all of you, but mostly done.

Love my publisher at Penguin Random House, and that was one of the reasons I had to be up here today.

But I'm looking forward to it.

I mean, look, we spent so much time together over the 15 years
