RE: Eu Teams. ... Ages ago, as a scheduling and thought experiment the "solution" I came up with for NFL European teams would be ... to add Four teams, and for the NFL to also build a large practice facility. Teams in England, Scottland, Denmark and Germany with a practice facility somewhere equadistant to the stadiums. The "concept" was that a visiting American based team could then spend 2-3 wks (if they also had a bye week) in Europe for the "overseas road trip" and decrease the travel time/jet lag. The European Division could then join the NFC/AFC on a four year rotation basis ... the advantage to this is that over an eight year span every NFL franchise would visit each of the four stadiums in Europe without requiring one specific division (NFC/AFC East) to have excessive amounts of travel compared to a midwest team. If you wanted to go Really crazy, after 4yrs you add an Asian division with teams in Manila, Seoul, Tokyo and Osaka ... then the divions would flip/flop Conferences so, again, every team in the league visits all of the stadiums each decade. Flip side the league would probably want to invest in a centrally located practice facility (someplace in Texas?) so when the European/Asian teams visit they have a "home" to stay/practice at without resorting to hotels and university fields.

Headlines and rumors never came out of Caleb’s mouth. Owning a team, choosing where he wants to go etc. was never said by Caleb but social media has tricked people into thinking meme accounts as pro journalism.

Bro you pulled the Hawthorne Heights reference and I love it!

I've been advocating for a second bye week ever since they extended the year. There's almost no downsides to it. 1. Longer NFL year means more money for them (they love money) 2. Players will be healthier/have more time to recover from injury, leading to higher quality football/more interest in bad teams Example of my 2nd point: My second team is the Cardinals. They fucking sucked this year. I watched every game, but I had MUCH more of an interest in the games once Kyler came back. If your team is healthy but not doing well, there's still going to be reasons to watch the team because each time has at least one star. Injuries hurt everything. (I know that Kyler's injury was long term, but my point still stands). I wanted to see what our future might look like, and you can't see the full picture if your team is severely banged up. 2nd bye week now. Please. Hell, I'd even be down for a 3rd bye week.

I don’t care about his painted nails or crying to his mom. I’m more concerned with him not having an agent, refusing to talk with the media after a loss (could be a problem in the NFL). Can he handle the media? How will he handle contract negotiations. Does he care more about money or winning?

I think the best way for the NFL to add a European team would be to add a full division in Europe. Having your division rivals 5 time zones away just isn't a good idea. I expect the NFL knows this and that's why they held a game in Munich in 2022 and will again in 2024.

And, it's a bit assumption that creating brand new NFL franchises will just get you the same fanbases and traditions for football (soccer) teams that have existed for centuries. As a separate point, I don't think a European franchise can work. I'm not going to uproot my Bills fandoom for some experiment, and most people in Europe who are already NFL fans are already fans of a team won't do that as well.

Good stuff Brett!

The only issue with your suggestion for the NFL schedule change with an emphasis on TNF is currently the NFL gives teams a bye week after international games. If they are ramping up the amount of international games. Those don't necessarily line up with each other or they have to line up with each other exactly. So a team would have an international game into a bye into TNF.

Awesome suggestion regarding the NFL schedule.

It’s from our clothing partner for the podcast, Homage. Link in the description :)

I think the only way you can add international teams is to add a whole division. The logistics just don’t make sense otherwise. That way they have 6 local games every season that don’t require trans Atlantic flights. Each team would have to have “host” accommodations. The teams would probably travel at the start of the week because of the time difference and stay overseas all week. That makes the most sense to me.

In Madden if I add a overseas team I always add 4 to make the division because you are correct. It makes no sense otherwise

I friggin loved legend of the hidden temple. What a great sweater!

I believe Homage is still selling it at the link in the description if you are interested :)

Great, great, great segment

Super big props on the grace and tact you had with addressing the Caleb Williams question

I think you can accomplish the same goal you want to with moving the schedule up a week by moving it back as week too. This will make it to where we get the Super Bowl on Presidents’ Day weekend and most in the US will have that Monday off.

The PFF win rate is better imo, I’m just referring to the ESPN chart that gets thrown around a lot

@@BrettKollmann I gotcha, just think the pff ones add some validity

Just moved out of my parents house to my first full time engineering job and started using Factor! Thanks Brett!

Great take on C. Williams. This is what it comes down to with too many people in our society: they're trying to find a way to divide people! With fear, with anger and bad-mouthing. We need to stand up against those and FIGHT LIKE HELL!

Great video man!

Just wanna say I love you Brett. You always have such sensible and logical takes ♥️

I’m a man of my word, Brett! Said I’d try Factor next time you posted. Putting in my order Monday. Thank you for all you do and for always being yourself.

You are going to love it!

Love the Factor read!!! 😂😂😂

Not football related, but your shirt is dope! Loved that show

Came here for Justin/Caleb with some real knowledge and nuance. Subscribed after your break down on TNF, you might just be a genius Brett 💪🏼

As a prospect Caleb has the tools to turn a franchise around but at the same time he has the issues that might run a franchise into the ground

You didn’t consider thanksgiving Thursday games in your last part but otherwise a good idea to add another bye week

8:16 How embarrassing. I’m over here yelling NAH MAXX IS BETTER THAN THEM BOTH and then he goes and say this 😅😂😂😂

That sweater is freaking awesome Brett!

I've thought about a 2nd bye week just as in a whole mid season break, but I like the Thursday night football link better. Nice idea. I hope they do it.

Love the legends of the hidden temple t shirt, my favourite show growing up❤❤

My problem with Williams has nothing to do with his character. Has everything to do with the label that has been bestowed on him as a "generational talent". He's just a great quarterback for his time.

@@launchbase4944 more like running back qb fatigue. Look at how horrible that has turned out in Baltimore. A few good highlights per game and the rest shitty QB play. Never going to win a championship like that

The Caleb Williams conversation feels dumb, he’s not a bad guy or toxic guy. And anyone that questions those aspects that have nothing do w his game are not be taken seriously

I thought at first that maybe he can be this or tends to come across as that in a negative way but no, all I heard against him is “he likes to paint his nails” or something that doesn’t paint him as a bad person.

Brett, just for you, I watched the XFactor ad twice to make up for anyone that skipped it

I really like the schedule adjustment idea. I had always thought a second bye week was needed just to get players time to heal. Never had a good way to do it without adding another game, which kinda negated the second bye. This keeps everyone on a consistent timeline, and gets every team national exposure which is good as well.

About the executive structure thing I was literally thinking the same thing if not adding a third bye at some point

Logistically having a London team would be so insanely expensive that with current technology it is not gonna happen

Now, I like your plan for the extra week for the extra bye, Brett. In fact, I thought thats what they should've done, when they added a week last time. That way, everything could stay much more easily divided up, and kept track of. It was nice when everything was divisible by 4.

Came here for Brett, stayed for the sleepy kitty in the background 🤣

On the east coast this might be one of the most normally timed video he’s ever posted 😂😂

11:05 KITTY CAT!!!

Love the shirt loved the 90s

Really interesting info about the double team % and pass rush win rate I had no idea they were estimates based on the chips.

Really great video Brett and i'm looking forward to seeing what will happen at the Combine and the video/s that will come from there. I have a follow-up question with regards to the NFL in Europe question that Jack Hunter asked. How would you see that happening and do you think it would be successful? I'm asking because currently, the NFL is playing most of it's games on Sunday. And on Sunday, there are also a lot of soccer games from the various national leagues. On Thursday there would be the group stage games from the Europa League season (second tier of european football) and on Tuesday and Wednesday we have the group stage games from the Champions League. Do you believe that there would be a market in which there would be a big, steady number of people that would go to see NFL games on Sunday instead of watching soccer games? Either live in the stadium or on the tv?

*me seeing the title of this video* “Ooh Brett you chose violence today” 😂😂

I went to a soccer game a couple of seasons ago with a friend. I am the usual goober when it comes to American sports, so I was fully ready to roast my friend about the game and the game day experience (United v Liverpool was the game, think it was the FA Cup). Honestly I wasn't prepared for how atmospheric everything was. The stadium itself had a certain aura and history around it, and the chants and banter from the crowd were unbelievable. I got hooked on the game and it's right up there with the NFL for me when it comes to which sport I prioritize. It's also interesting because Old Trafford is the butt of jokes for not even being as atmospheric or rowdy as some other stadiums, but it far surpassed the average game day experience in the NFL. Though some of it has been lost due to the corporatization of the EPL, there's still some sense that the club is local, and even moreso when it comes to the smaller clubs. Just don't get that same feeling with the NFL. I wonder how it was when NFL Europe was around and there was a team in London. Maybe someone reading this comment has some idea. Can't find anything online regarding this.

Always go back to the fields game against indiana.Three years later here we are

I'm just here to say, what an awesome legends shirt!

Watch this guy’s video on Joe Burrow as a draft prospect. He totally nailed every detail. I drafted burrow into my dynasty league and never regretted it. Unfortunately he’s had some injuries 😅

i went to HS with caleb. everyone connected to the program has nothing but amazing things to say about Caleb. from all accounts his teammates and coaches love him

Where did you get that legends of the hidden temple sweatshirt? It's amazing and I want one lol

I never thought Caleb was toxic because of his nails… more those reports about wanting ownership stake, initially listing the teams he wanted etc. Hard to know if it is noise. First time we’ve seen you so fired up Brett! 😅

I understand scouts really like Caleb, but, he has not won a big game. Williams is 0-3 against Utah, lost to Tulane. Vs top 25 teams has 51% comp pct, 172 yards a game and 6/6 TD/Int ratio.

I agree that the Watt vs Garrett argument is bogus but the idea that tracking data couldnt deliver these stats is wrong. maybe espn cant do that right now but that's a diffrent point. Talk to Ted Knutson when you are at the combine.

As a raiders fan thank you

2nd bye week proposal is a huge W. Great idea 💯

I think the only knock on the guaranteed bye pre TNF is that many people will say it’s an advantage to a playoff team with a late season bye. Versus one who maybe had their final bye in say week 10.

Completely agree with the 2nd bye week

Hawthorne heights mentioned !!

Good shit

The TNF schedule change idea is genius, it should absolutely be a thing
