Coming up about 20 minutes from now, I will tell all of you why Patriot Seahawks is not just a good choice to be the NFL season opener.

It's the only choice to be the NFL season opener.

Plus more from the NFL schedule release.

Man, we had a lot of interviews on the show, but a lot of good stuff. We still have a lot to get to. We will do that over the course of the hour. Trivia later this hour, our bets will close the program. But look, we, uh, when I say we, I mean I, I saw your tweets. I got your direct messages. So a couple weeks ago, Kentucky Derby Week, I'm on vacation. Normally I do my vacation a little earlier on the calendar, but it was like a family thing, so that's why I was on vacation that week. And people are like, where is Mike Somich on you, bet, or you bet? Why is Mike Somich not on breaking down the Kentucky Derby? You think I don't want to talk to my guy, Mike Somich? So now, obviously, Bill writes, to be fair, we tried to get Mike on without you. Did you, Bill? Did you try hard enough, Bill? I would question the veracity of that. Apparently not, because I'm back and Mike Somich is with us on the show. And what we will do is before the bat for us. basically for as long as Mike wants to keep coming on for us to break down these races, we will love to have our friend, Mike Somich. From V-Sim and Racing Dudes on Twitter at Samo Bomb 18. My friend, welcome back to the show. What's going on? I appreciate it, Nick. Thank you for the very kind intro there. Life is good, man.

We got the NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs.

You're talking schedule.

It's the NFL.

I cannot wait to be able to talk about football again here. And yeah, we got the second jewel of the Triple Crown. Not as much buzz as years pass, which we can get into if you want to talk around the whole hullabaloo inside the horse racing world, but still excited for a great weekend of racing over at Laurel.

So here's what we're going to do.

We're going to do the preakness, and then we're going to move on, and then we're going to do NFL and we'll have to do a little hockey also.

Just so you know, like, that was my, this is my plan going into it.

I figured.
