| 0:00.0 | I wanted to give you a quote here from one of your buddies regarding the NFL schedule. |
| 0:04.8 | All right. |
| 0:05.1 | I thought you'd like this. |
| 0:06.1 | Okay. |
| 0:07.1 | So the man of knowledge who is quoted in here by his name. |
| 0:12.2 | Mike North, yep. |
| 0:13.5 | NFL VP Mike North, who's been someone you've known for years, through Westwood and everything else. |
| 0:19.2 | You've seen him rise through the ranks there |
| 0:23.1 | at the NFL. 100%. Yes. Very much into it. And he is a guy who was super sharp, and he was asked, |
