What's up, everybody?

Welcome to a special edition of the Fantasy Cheat Sheet here on a Wednesday.

I'm Marcus Grand, joined by Michael michael f loyal and lequan

jones uh happy pre-season eve eve eve eve i don't know eve eve i'm not really sure are we celebrating

no you don't you don't count the hall of fame game i don't so i don know if I've talked to you guys about this.

I know I was talking to, I, you know, my friend and co-host on Sirius XM, Chris Manzo,

he and I were talking about this recently, that we think they should move the Hall of Fame

game.

And his original suggestion was to actually have the Hall of Fame game. And his original suggestion was to actually have the Hall of Fame game be the final week of the preseason. I said, I'll do you one better. Why not? You know, because most of the seasons start, I know they want to start it on a Thursday, but I like, why don't you take the first game and play it on a Saturday? Have that be the Hall of Fame game. And so like all day,

Saturday morning, you can do the Hall of Fame induction. You can do the speeches, right? And then at

night, you kick off the season with the Hall of Fame game. So that way, it is a full day celebration of football. You get a marquee game at the end of what is a marquee day with some of your all-time greats being welcomed into the Hall of Fame. And then the following day is Sunday where you get a full slate of games leading up to Sunday night and then you can do your Monday games, stuff like that too. Like why not make the Hall of, because now we're at a point where the Hall of Fame game is sort of a punchline, right? Where it's like, if you're watching the Hall of Fame game, you're kind of a sicko. Right? Yeah. But I look, I'm not, I'm not trying to carry the water for the Bob's here. But did you see that more people watch the Hall of Fame game?

I saw that.

I saw that.

Yeah, but like, I mean, that's the bar we're setting. That's the bar we're setting. The NBA, I mean, on the NBA, I'm put, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm covering my face with that. I am, but like the NBA All-Star game is like, again, like, that's also like you're kind of a basketball sicko if you're watching that.

Because especially like the last couple years, the NBA All-Star game has been more about like the pre-game and halftime performances than the actual game itself.

Like All-Star Saturday Night's great.

Like the three-point contest is still great and still funny.

Even like the all the was it the rookie versus second year guys or whatever it is,

whatever that game is that they play.

That's the option.

Sophomore.
