Okay, so like I was saying, all right, we're back. Let's get to business.

I know that's a little awkward for everybody, but we had some technical problems.

And with a statewide network, that's what happens.

Ryan Skomack live in studio.

All right, so Rico, before we do anything, Michigan, Michigan State, I know you're very excited.

Trust me, we can sense it across the console.

It's like an oncoming submarine.

So listen, I want to ask a very critical question about the Super Bowl or lack thereof.

Okay.

Because I want people to think about this.

Why is there no football this weekend?

What justifies a two-week break?

And remember, plenty of times, plenty of seasons in recent memory, the Super Bowl

would be played this weekend, as it should.

Right.

Why is it new football?

Because you say the Pro Bowl, I'll backhand you.

Because of the Pro Bowl activities.

Because we have to see Jerry Gough versus Shador Sanders.

And we have to see, you know, the skills competition and the volleyball and the, I'm sorry,

dodgeball and all of that.

It's their way of milking as much as they can.
