| 0:25.3 | What's up, everybody? This is Peter Schroger. You're listening to the season with Peter Schreger. |
| 0:32.0 | I'm currently at 345 Park Avenue, which is the official NFL league headquarters. |
| 0:37.1 | I'm joined by Aaron Wong Kaufman and Jason English, our folks from the IHeartMedia team, because we're going to do an in-studio, in-person |
| 0:40.7 | interview with Hans Schroeder, who is the executive vice president of media distribution. Hans leads |
| 0:47.6 | a lot of the league's overall media strategy, and we've been talking for months, and I thought with |
| 0:53.0 | what is an incredible TV sports, primarily |
| 0:58.3 | NFL weekend ahead, Hans would be a great guest to have on, a little different than a coach |
| 1:02.1 | or a GM or a celebrity like we usually have. Here's one of the decision makers at the league. |
| 1:06.9 | We're going to have Hans on in a second. In the meantime, we are currently in a conference room overlooking New York City. And Aaron, is this your first time in the league headquarters? Do you feel like you've got to be on your P's and Q's here? Yeah, it's my first time here. I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but I was told ahead of time I couldn't wear sneakers, so I had to be a little more dressed up than my |
| 1:28.6 | usual setup yeah I'm wearing bright white sneakers is that because I'm celebrity talent is that what it |
| 1:34.4 | is okay only one of us has been on celebrity jeopardy that's it okay exactly um no I'm excited to be here |
| 1:40.2 | and it's been a cool couple hours that we have been here. And we've got a chance to speak |
| 1:44.1 | with a lot of folks, both off the record and then friends that I've had. And I think the NFL's in a really good place right now. And I'm excited for this week. We're going to have Hans on in a second to discuss primarily the creation of this Amazon Black Friday game between the Jets and the Dolphins and how it came to be. |
| 2:01.6 | But I'd be lying there, |
| 2:02.9 | and if I'm not still a little bit hung over, Black Friday game between the Jets and the Dolphins and how it came to be. |
| 2:01.6 | But I'd be lionair, and if I'm not still a little bit hungover from what we saw last night |
| 2:07.0 | on ESPN and ABC, Super Bowl rematch, and I've got my concerns about them, Kansas City Chiefs. |
| 2:15.6 | This is my, this is my, I come in here and I come here with a hat in hand, and I say, I have been so, don't worry about it, they'll figure it out, don't worry about it, they'll figure it out. And yes, they are seven and three, and they're still going to win the AFC West. And don't worry about it. They have 26 drops, the most drops in the league. They have not scored a point in the second half since October 22nd. They also had Justin Watson as their leading target man last night. These are not, hey, we're figuring it out in September concerns or don't worry about it. Things will figure themselves out concerns. These are legitimately, do we have the players' concerns? And they might not have the weapons. And Kelsey had a couple bad drops, a fumble and a drop last night. Furthermore, Kelsey was triple-teamed. So at some point, Tony needs to step up. At some point, Watson needs to step up. And I give him a home's credit. I was very, very keen on watching what he had to say after the game.
