we know what their other games are. No, I know,
but like if you need to see Bills expected to
visit Houston opening game, which is great, but like you
already saw this last season and saw what it can provide.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
From a drama standpoint, it was it was the best.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
I would argue without looking at what happened, because it's
not in front of me, I would argue it was
the best Thursday night game of last season.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
So Sunday Night Football opening weekend, we know that's Giants
and Cowboys, first game for coach Harba.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Of course you have to have the Cowboys on TV eight.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Eighteenth game for Brian Schottenheimer. Monday Night Football opening week
is that Chiefs Broncos game, which they're taking a small
chance because of Pat mahomes injury situation, but they're presuming.
We've got Bonnicks in the very very good Denver Broncos
and Pat Mahomes and travels Kelsey in the very good

(01:01):
and it's his return game. Candas to the Chiefs, they
chose that over Josh Allen and the Bills versus C. J.
Stroud and the Texans. That seems reasonable.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Oh no, no, I'm fine with that. I'm not fine with
them choosing Cowboys Giants over. I don't care about numbers
or anything. It's not gonna be That's all they care.

You guys are awful Now. Jimmy might be there.

Speaker 2 (01:39):

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Uh yeah, Jimmy Hoffa.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
They'll find Jimmy Hoffer before they find any hump back whales.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
What movie is that from? I hope it's from Haffa.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
No, it's from when Ace Fincura goes to see Saint Francis.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Okay, in all honesty, though.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
I hope it's from that awesome Danny DeVito movie Hawfu.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
If you're the Chiefs and you're throwing Patrick Mahomes back
out there into the frying pan or the fire, whichever
it is. He's coming off a catastrophic knee injury. Yes,
if he's healthy, it's fine, and you're gonna throw him
out there against the top three defense the procras.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
You don't care about any of that stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Okay, Well, when he gets lost for the season again
because he reaggravates it or injures it again, or they
take him out when.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
He gets hurt during the game, and everyone on social
media starts talking about it, the ratings will go up.
They'll be fine with it.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
For a week, and then they're gonna flex the Chiefs
out of every meaningful game the rest of the season
because they'll have who.
