Ah, it's great to talk with Jason Leisure about football in May.

Why not?

It means the canvas is pretty open because there's not a lot necessarily going on this week for the Bears.

But Jason has thoughts.

We have thoughts.

Let's have a conversation.

He joins us now on Circa Sports Illinois Highline. Download the Circa app today. Jason, thanks for joining us. What do you think of

the flag football thing in the NFL and why NFL players are so gung-ho about doing it?

Well, it sounds fun.

I can see why they'd want to do it.

It sounds fun.

How interesting is that going to be to watch, though?

Because, I mean, what other country is going to have a team that can be competitive?

Oh, that's a good question.

I am ill-equipped to have a conversation about the state of international flag football outside the United States.

But that's a state of football at all outside the United States. It's really not that popular outside of the U.S. I think it's got some popularity as a TV product in Mexico and Canada,

but I don't think it's being played in those.

I mean, this is different even than basketball,

where, yeah, you know that Team USA is going to be the heavy favorite,

but they are going to probably play some good teams like Argentina and France

in any given year. I mean, I just don't even see who's going to probably play some good teams like Argentina and France in any given year.

I mean, I just don't even see who's going to put up a competitive team with the U.S. in this.
