Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast.

0:07.2

It is the day after round one of the 2020 NFL draft.

0:11.8

And I'm Liz Loza, so I'm here.

0:14.2

And Matt Harmon, he is here as well.

0:16.5

And we've got Ragu subbing in for Brett, who's probably trying to, you know, put his head back

0:23.3

on his shoulders as I'm sure it exploded off numerous times due to work. And maybe the Broncos

0:29.0

pick yesterday. So, um, a little bit of both. Matt, obviously a really unprecedented television event.

0:38.9

What were your thoughts on the broadcast before we get into the nitty-gritty of the football?

0:44.8

I mean, I actually thought, like, overall it went pretty well.

0:48.6

There was a, like, I think they probably could have done with less people talking

0:53.6

because it was just kind of hard to be like, okay, here's 30 seconds of DJ, 30 seconds of Lewis Riddick, 30 seconds of Booger, which obviously was the highlight of the whole thing.

1:03.0

Again, anytime as an LSU player, like, what, book, what's your opinion on this?

1:29.7

like, will more people just be set up at home cams instead of, you know, flying people across

1:35.8

the country to do hits, you know, that really don't, like, do a five second hit somewhere. And it's like,

1:41.5

are you really getting your bang for your buck in that regard when you can just do it all from the comfort of your home. I mean, obviously some people

1:48.3

will have to be in studio or whatever like to set it up and, you know, push the on button however

1:53.5

it goes. But still, I have thought that with how well I think most things look and how well most things are going, that it's actually

2:02.6

probably, I think we could see it change the industry a little bit going forward.

2:06.9

I think that's an interesting point. I mean, I think overall this dual broadcast deserves an A.
