00:00The NFL is on schedule, and don't you dare say otherwise.
00:09The schedule release itself and Commissioner Roger Goodell both express as much, with Goodell
00:13doing it slightly more politely in an internal memo.
00:16Quote, uninformed commentary that speculates on how individual clubs or the league will
00:21address a range of hypothetical contingencies, serves no constructive purpose, and instead
00:26confuses our fans and business partners, complicates the operations of other clubs, and distracts
00:31from the careful planning that is needed right now.
00:34Now while I'd like to criticize the league for muzzling teams, it has worked for them.
00:38From free agency, to the draft, to Goodell's basement, we've spent more time discussing
00:42Tom Brady's trip to the park than we have how the pandemic will impact the football
00:47season.
00:48And in that sense, aside from proving its massive popularity, it also shows the L in
00:53NFL stands for lucky.
00:56Somehow the public aspects of their schedule have not been derailed at all, when if this
00:59had happened just a bit sooner, there would have been no Super Bowl.
01:03Remember when J-Lo and Shakira outrage was all the rage?
01:06Look, I'm not mad, I want something to look forward to.
01:09Whatever the schedule says will be the best one I've ever seen, just having sports on
01:13the calendar again.
01:15And we know the league will be fine with fans, teams, employees, and anyone else talking
01:19about that.
01:20Lucky indeed.
