| 0:07.2 | Rogue. Nothing personal. Word of the day is rogue. The NBA may be going rogue, ladies and |
| 0:13.9 | gentlemen. They are thinking of switching their calendar. We've heard about that trying to figure |
| 0:19.2 | out how to finish their 2019, 20 season. And it's potential to be so delayed that the start of the |

| 0:35.4 | think NBA on Christmas day. Never had players who necessarily liked playing on holidays. I always |

| 1:45.2 | schedule is not definite. We know this. They already are planning for the possibility of starting |
| 1:52.8 | a couple weeks late into October. Potentially moving the Super Bowl back in rid of the pro bowl |
