Why is this leaking out? Like, can there just be an announcement? Like the big show, the NFL honors?

Like, I don't like the bill thing leaking out, the Belichick thing. I don't like the Eli thing leaking out. It's like the NFL schedule release. Just give me the schedule. Don't leak it out one by one. And so I know that giant fans all have their opinions on this such and we'll get to it. But that actually bothers me more than these announcements, like make it the show, the NFL honors, we watch it, and then we dramatically find out he's in the Hall of Fame. He's not in the Hall of Fame. So now that I'm off my soapbox, your thoughts. Yeah, but you find out before NFL Honors. NFL honors is when it is just kind of displayed, right? No, I think it's when they're supposed to announce it, isn't it?

Am I getting that?

They used to give like the whole pony show about like knocking on the door and everything.

That would always happen the night of the NFL honors. Now, unless that was pre-taped and we never knew about it. Yeah, it was pre-taped. Definitely, because Ronde's was pre-taped. Because I knew before Ronde

Because he had to tell his wife

And make sure that he was home

And then Derek Brooks came and knocked on his door

But that was a week or so before knew I knew before Ronde because they had to tell his wife and make sure that he was home.

I get that.

And then Derek Brooks came and knocked on his door.

But that was a week or so before.

Well, I think, you know what?

Honestly, I think you're right in this regard.

I think in the past it would come out like on a Saturday afternoon before the Super Bowl.

But I think lately they've tried to make it an event.

My only point is just give us the results like baseball does. No, I think I think I like how they do that. Well, no, here was the issue. They used to do it. You would come to the Super Bowl. Yeah. And they'd have all of the finalists at the Super Bowl. Right. And if you got your door knocked on at whatever hotel they had you staying in, you made the All of Fame.. If you didn't, you didn't.

Yeah. And so now there's 10 guys that aren't getting their doors knocked on and they're, I don't, they're pissed off, whatever. It's just disappointed. It's worse than disappointing. It's just, it's disheartening. Like, why did you drag me? You drag me to wherever the Super Bowl is and I'm just sitting in my hotel room. All right. open up the scats.

Yeah.

Like,

so they made it so that they tell you before and they film it, and then they have a documentation of it. So I think, I don't know who leaked it. I don't like the leak. That's my only point. I think that, like, baseball did their announcement with Carlos Belcher and all that. And it was, like, dramatic. like you put the TV the tv on you find out we had an idea they were going to get in but it wasn't leaked out and so well i mean it's i know it's a first world problem i'm just expressing it's the winter of ean o'connor by the way right well they need to do this like uh the baseball hall of fame does it like the baseball hall of they tell you, we're going to call everybody.

You can be wherever you are.
