AI GeneratedThe speakers discuss NFL player grievances regarding international travel and the expanded 17-game season. While acknowledging the physical toll of long-haul flights and the intensity of the sport, they debate whether players truly need more rest or if the league's safety improvements justify the current schedule.
Now, let's move on to the next story.
Aaron Rodgers has been very critical
of the amount of international games
that the NFL is making their players play.
I'm almost like, wait, can we mention these games?
I'm in that mode.
Look at his face.
Like, I'm sad because I'm a millionaire and I have to travel a lot.
No, but I got to say something.
I cannot do another vodka, bro.
Maybe because Aaron Rodgers is a psychonaut
and that means that he practices psychedelic
medicine.
I mean, you just trip and trip, bro.
But I will say this, man.
I'm not a big fan of the way you feel when you get off a plane.
I'm actually amazed at how well athletes play
when they travel on a plane.
So I kind of understand where he's coming from.
He's playing something as physical as football.
When you come off of a 10, 12, 15-hour flight.
So I do think that the international games are important.
I think the preseason games should be played in international cities.
And regular season games can be played in close-by cities,
meaning Mexico City, Canadian cities, maybe London.
But when you get farther than that...
at least like two or three time zones.
Yeah, when you get that.
Okay, so last story.
NFL was the move to 17 games.
Players are complaining already of the 17.
They are countering back with a 16-game schedule plus a dual bye.
Now they want to have two weeks of rest.
I don't think that they need that.
I disagree.
I believe that they do because the amount
of damage that they do to their bodies requires
them to have at least a period where
they have two weeks to take a breather.
We're making the game safer anyway,
so we should be able to play 16, 17 games.
But I understand the travel issues.
And you know what the NFL said?
The NFL said, as big as we are,
we always get criticized for not being good by football
fans, so we're going to show them.
