NBC Sports commentator on the countdown to the NFL season

as you know but here we are you know if you were to said to me two months ago would we be starting on september the 10th i would have said about a 25 chance but so far so good at least we get started on time and hopefully in five months we'll have a super bowl uh on hand in tampa bay you'll have some fans in in attendance that this evening i'm wondering uh aside from no collins worth slide into the picture we're gonna have to get used to that in and of itself but what's it gonna be like for you do you think and our viewers it'll be a little different i mean they're going to put 22 percent of capacity into arrowhead stadium it means somewhere around 17 000 fans uh the only other stadium that will have fans this weekend is jacksonville so you'll have 14 stadiums without fans it'll be different but i have a feeling uh you're gonna it'll sound somewhat similar we are going to enhance the audio as the nba and the nhl have done in other games but not tonight we're going to let the natural sound play obviously arrowhead stadium is a big home field advantage for the kansas city chiefs has been through the years so that will be a little different tonight but i'm very curious on so many levels judge to see what the quality of play will be like you know kansas city looks like they are primed to do it again but no team has done it has won back-to-back super bowls in 16 seasons houston trying to get over the hump so we're set for a big night no preseason games it speaks to you know what you're saying about wondering what the quality of play is going to be i know you you guys normally meet with some of the you know the standout players before the game maybe the day before the coaching staff and etc have you been able to do that this time and i'm just wondering if you have a sense at all of what the players may be feeling or thinking before they begin this journey we're like the rest of american business judge we are doing it zoom microsoft teams whatever it takes for instance yesterday the texans are in our hotel here in kansas city but we can't meet with them so they were in a room separate from ours and we sat there uh socially distant and uh had our zoo meetings with him it's it's worked out okay we you do miss the the person-to-person interaction hopefully we'll get back to that point but for the most part we're just you know we're doing it on the fly right now and kudos to our our whole production crew because we have people working remotely we've never done this before but we're going to try to make it look like a regular sunday night football game on thursday night you want to talk some stocks before we let you before we let you run and get back to uh getting ready for the game tonight we've got josh with us i know you've got john and all i can tell you is that i may be the kiss of death i go to our meeting about two hours ago the market is flying right and now i'm looking at what what's going on and by the way judge i just want to let you know let me lean forward here for a second we talk about football weather so hold on i want you to see what the weather is like in kansas city right now can you see that it looks gloomy it's gloomy it's gloomy it's 55 degrees it's rainy and there's uh the traffic is moving very uh clearly and fast on i-70 so traffic and weather together on the fives i'm full service for you babe we appreciate that what stop what stock is top of mind for you the stock i you know i've loved for the last couple of years is kkr and it's done extremely well obviously uh actually got to know george roberts have a great deal of respect for him so that's that's been fine and and you know me i mean i've talked about this on the show in the past and everybody says i'm crazy but some of the etfs on steroids have been pretty good i mean the sso has been pretty fantastic the fas has not been so fantastic uh the financials so uh i'm basically listening to you guys i listen to john talk about you know the hot the hot options trades to make and you know i just follow in the path of of the experts on your panel
