Nolan Aeronado? Oh boy. I'll leave that alone until 4 o'clock. It's just they must have a thing for declining players.

Because between the Goldschmidt conversation and the Aeronado thing, the only thing they have in common is, they've been getting worse each of the last few years.

And one's in his mid-30s and the others in his late 30s.

But I'll leave it alone.

We'll wait until 4 o'clock.

I want to ask you guys about the playoff.

David just brought this up, the ticket pricing and all that.

You know, this topic may not work because neither of our teams are in it, but work with me.

I just want to see if we can come to some level of dialogue,

which is this. Look, a lot of bickering for a long time about expanding the plaff.

I didn't want to do it. I didn't need it. I like college football just the way it was.

And I said for a while, okay, look, if you're going to force me to expand this

thing, you just go to eight, you have each conference champion, and then you have your couple

at largest, and we just move on, right? Easy, clean, four to eight makes sense. So naturally,

they did none of that. And they went to 12, and we're going to have buy weeks, and we're going to have auto bids. And I, they did none of that. And they went to 12 and we're going to have buy

weeks and we're going to have auto bids. And I, oh, boy. So look, I've put my sword down on it. I just

don't care. But for a lot of people, this was a thing they lusted after. RICO being one of them.

And it's like you've wanted to eat at a certain restaurant and you finally got to sit down

to dinner there. Now the meal's over. And I'm asking you, did you get what you wanted? I mean,

we watched Conference Championship weekend and all I know is it didn't really matter who won or

lost the Texas Georgia game.

And it didn't matter who won the Clemson or SMU game.
