Veterans Day, it's a special day and it is a great opportunity to thank the men and women who have served our country.

Today we've got Jake Wood, Marine, author and a founder of Team Rubicon and he is one of the best man. He is awesome.

So you want to stick around for that but first we'll hit a little bit of football.

We're going to talk about teams getting written off too soon, bucks, and we're going to talk about the Saints ceiling as well as this new football playoff.

Playoff idea just in case shit really hits the fan in the NFL.

16 teams, how do we feel about that?

Happy Wednesday everybody. This is the Green Light Pot. I'm your host Chris Long and I want to wish everybody who has served our country a wonderful Veterans Day.

To the listeners, again that is not Memorial Day. Memorial Day is not Veterans Day. They're very different things.

Google it if you've had trouble in the past.

Think of Veterans today who served. Appreciate y'all guys and girls.

Especially when a shout out our Water Boys vets. I know that we have some of our listeners have been involved with my Clean Water initiative.

And you know, we bring a lot of folks together to fight for people's right, people's access to clean water, which is such a basic dignity that we take for granted here in this country.

We bring athletes together. We bring fans together. We bring entertainers together.

But my favorite role player so to speak in that whole equation has always been our vets.

And that whole thing started by me like cold calling a Nate Boyer who I'd never met my life. He's a green beret.

He's a white football Texas. It's a longhorn and played briefly with the Seattle Seahawks.

And he's also really is the dude that had a conversation with Colin Kaepernick and kind of gave his perspective on the protests and Colin listened.

And you know, I don't know if that altered his path. I would only have did as far as like he was sitting and then he took a knee because it was more respectful.

And he's like that's Nate and he's an incredibly empathetic, hard work in charismatic dude and he and he loves service. And I saw something on him circa 2000 and maybe 14.

I don't know. I was one of my last years in St. Louis. We were camping in Oxnard as a team.

I was at some really nice hotel because Jeff Fisher had us traveling good. Stan Cronk. He had us traveling good.

We were watching TV and this is like the off night after we got this huge knockdown drag out like bar fight on a field with the Cowboys.
