Okay, so we've got open phone lines. Can we say that? You watch football all weekend. You watch baseball a weekend. Give me the take that you're almost certain of, but you need the validation of can I say X? So we'll get the ticket text, but I want to get some people on the lines. We've had

a really good time doing this the last couple of weeks. 248,

539, 97-97. If you want Lions Victory Monday, we opened with it.

Tigers, here, can we say

the Tigers will beat the Guardians in two games?

That's where I'm at, yes. RICO says no. But the weekend that was in college football, the lion stuff, all of it. And look, the injury news with the lions, it's not great. DJ Reed's going to be gone for a while. And Terry and Arnold, he's going to be gone maybe this week, probably back for Kansas City, but he hasn't been good.

We just have to call a spade of spade here.

They were cutting his reps before he got hurt.

Oh, but it has nothing to do with his performance.

Right.

I bench great players all the time.

So look, it's all there for you.

Can we say, 24,, 5, 3997.

David, you want to start with the ticket tax?

Can we say that the kicking game special teams is more important than ever before?

Yes, because the league has perverted the rules to a level that you basically start every drive at midfield.

I feel like every game I turn on, they're at the logo.

Yeah, I mean, I'm confused still about this whole new kickoff, but it's better than what it was last year when I'm like, why don't I just start with on the 25 and just quit this charade? Now at least there's some strategy to it. And yeah, I mean, I like it. I don't know why we just can't go back to the old kickoffs. But hey, how about no kickoffs and everybody gets the football at the 20 yard line? How about that?

Well, that's what it was last year. And I'm fine with it. I don't care about the play anymore. You know what? I don't need teams at the 40 when kickers can kick from 60. Here's the other problem. They're allowing the kickers to alter the footballs. It used to be you couldn't do that inside a 24 hours to game time. Now, they're doctoring these like Charlie Huff.

I'm thinking there has to be helium inside those balls.

It's ridiculous.

This is ridiculous.
