NFL meets sandwich fantasy, Bennett just love football, want to be smarter. Greg Kosel is coming up.

Daniel Jones situation, I have, I'll get into it later, but just two to three years ago the Niners and the Bills would have had a buy.

And the NFL on-greed, thought let's put in another playoff team. So now you're asking the Niners to beat the C-Ox for the third time. That's hard, it's your number one rival.

You're asking the Bills and they should wax the dolphins. But it's the third time you're asking them to line up not a fan of that. Sometimes it's inevitable.

But when you add these playoff teams. If Josh Allen gets knocked out of the let's say, let's say Josh Allen or Stefan Diggs should have a buy this week.

When gets hurt out of the playoffs quality the AFC playoff television product goes downhill. What if Seattle knocks off San Francisco? Don't think they will. What if they do hurts the NFL Denver's easily the most popular team in the NFL Denver West easily.

So it's like, you know, the NFL they just keep, you know, let's just do this, this that we didn't nobody was clamoring. Nobody was clamoring for another playoff team. The playoffs were great.

By the way, of the four teams that have been in the playoffs the last couple of years, the last team in three blowout losses, awful games.

And all you're doing is you took away a buy to great teams that earned it. So what the NFL did, and I don't like this at all, what the NFL essentially did. They asked the players to play another game and more collisions.

And they did not not only did they give them no reward. They took away a reward to San Francisco. Hey San Francisco, most physical team in the league play another regular season game. We didn't we won. Congrats. No buy.

Face Seattle a third time. Any time you do something for greed, money, it's going to come back to haunt you anytime you do. I've been saying this for years to people do not. Money's important. I am in no way saying money's not important. Money's really important for educational opportunities for medical needs. I'm not saying isn't. But when you do something strictly for money Robinson can know to the Mariners never works out.

Adding is 17th game. Okay fine more collisions to your star players. The payoff should be another buy for the great teams San Francisco went out there kicked ours and say okay, we'll play in our game and we won.

We're going to take your buy away. What's the point? If I'm asking more of my employees, I got to give them benefits and rewards. You get another week of vacation. If I do something for Fox, the boss has always come to me.

Take another week off or take another few days off. That's what it I have a bad vibe about the karma of this weekend. I got a bad vibe to the star players going to get hurt. Something's going to go wrong. One of the good teams is going to get upset.

I listen, I understand capitalism, but it's not like the NFL was like, you know what we got to raise more funds. We're tapped out here. The leagues on fire. It's separated from the world.

And by the way, it all benefits me the more playoff games, the better. But San Francisco should have a buy this week. Physical San, because you know what we want in the playoffs more San Francisco. We don't want Seattle Seattle's not capable of winning two games, but they are capable with a great coach in Pete Carroll.

Beating after the two beatings they've taken beating San Francisco once. I think they're capable of it. I don't think they will now Miami is going to get. You know, but if two was playing so Miami and Seattle played like Drek for a month. They don't even feel like playoff teams.

They wouldn't have been a couple years ago. I just I'm not I love the NFL. I'm just crossing my fingers all the star quarterbacks all the star players are healthy because nothing's better than Buffalo in their healthy and nothing's better than the Niners when they're healthy.

That those that I love watching Buffalo play. I love watching the Niners play. They're just I'm off my soapbox. If Seattle is able to upset San Francisco Seattle would then go to Philadelphia, which is banged up. And by the way, get crushed. Philadelphia would run him out of the building.
