Video Transcript<\/p>\n

So Madrid now has a long-term deal to get a game- Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n

-for, the next couple of years.<\/p>\n

I, I, if I had to guess, I would say the Bears get, They’re the home team next year in Madrid.<\/p>\n

The Saints have been announced to be hosting a game next year in Paris.<\/p>\n

Makes sense, correct.<\/p>\n

At Stade de France.<\/p>\n

There is a rumor out there that the Browns would be that team.<\/p>\n

I can tell you right now, I don’t know that that is the case, but the Saints are gonna go to Paris.<\/p>\n

That is the logical team for Paris.<\/p>\n

Agree?<\/p>\n

Yeah, it, it- why not?<\/p>\n

Like, and, it’s just the expansion of the international games, I don’t love it, I can’t lie to you, but it’s happening.<\/p>\n

Why don’t you like it?<\/p>\n

I- part of it is, it is just And, and it’s different with the 17-game schedule, but I always thought there was a schedule imbalance with that.<\/p>\n

The teams that have to go there, it’s a hard trip.<\/p>\n

It’s a- it is long, it is grueling.<\/p>\n

Now, once we get to 16 games and all 32 teams do it, it, it does even it out at that point.<\/p>\n

But I just think we should I, I like the home games.<\/p>\n

I, I get why they do it, the international reach, that’s where the money is, that’s where new, you know, i- it, all that goes, but I don’t know.<\/p>\n

I just don’t, I don’t love it.<\/p>\n

And I don’t, I don’t know that I love waking up at 6:00 in the morning every Sunday to have to watch football.<\/p>\n

You and Denver.<\/p>\n

It’s gonna be a 9:30 Eastern Time kick for all of these.<\/p>\n

Right.<\/p>\n

That’s the way it is gonna be.<\/p>\n

When I say Bears, I wouldn’t go, if you’re a Bears fan, booking your flight to Madrid yet.<\/p>\n

But with There are three teams with international marketing rights for Madrid.<\/p>\n

one of them was the Dolphins.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins had that game there last year.<\/p>\n

and because it’s the NFC hosting the international games this year, the Bears are the only one with international rights in Madrid.<\/p>\n

I’d assume it would be there.<\/p>\n
