Something we haven't talked about this week.

I think I did talk about it with Tommy on my podcast was the admission from Jaden Daniels on a podcast that he did break his rib.

It was a Madden thing.

It was a Madden event that they were doing.

Like for the big reveal and all that, the commercial shoot?

That was a madden event.

I just saw the sound clip.

And I'm going to address it a little bit later on in the show because I was very emphatic.

Once they took him off the injury report that the people that I had been talking to were saying

he is not at risk, he's not injured, there may be a little bit of discomfort, but he is

absolutely okay to play, which is why we've taken him off the injury report. It was a big

reveal, though, because remember, they were very

vague in what the specific injury was, and Jaden said he broke his rib in the Carolina

game, and then went out, played a week later against the Bears. So I will get to that

at some point during the show. Also, John Orrand, who is one of my favorites when it comes

to sports media and sports business, he's going to explain to you what this NFL network

ESPN deal is all about. It's going to be impactful in many ways to consumers of football. So he will be

with me on that shortly. All right. Let's take a few more calls on the question of the

morning, which is often this time a year before the season starts, people come up to you and say,

what's your team going to do this year? What's your answer?

Probably a lot different than it's been.

Tony, thanks for holding. Go ahead.
