1. Introduction to Today’s Extra

In this episode of B&T Extra, hosts Bob, Tom, and Christopher delve into two major topics: the inclusion of flag football in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the amusing debut of Oscar Mayer’s Weenie 500 race. Skipping over the usual advertisements and promotional segments, the trio engages in their characteristic humorous banter while unpacking these subjects.

2. Olympic Flag Football

NFL’s Approval and Format

The episode kicks off with a discussion about the NFL’s unanimous approval for player participation in flag football at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The hosts dissect the proposed format:

• Roster Composition: Each team will consist of 10 players, with 5 players on offense and 5 on defense.
• Team Representation: Six teams will compete in separate tournaments for men and women.
• Player Limitation: Only one player per NFL club is permitted for each country’s team.

Notable Quote:

Tom: "NFL owners have unanimously approved player participation in flag football for the 2028 Olympics. A big mistake, says this reporter."

Debate on NFL Stars Participating

Bob and Tom engage in a spirited debate about whether current NFL stars, like Tom Brady, would come out of retirement to compete for an Olympic gold medal.

• Bob’s Skepticism: Expresses doubt that stars like Tom Brady would join, citing their already illustrious careers.

  Bob: "No. I stood by the little plexiglass window and just stared, trying to get someone's attention because I didn't know what to do."

• Tom’s Optimism: Believes that players with the ego and drive, such as Aaron Rodgers, might be interested.

  Tom: "He wants a gold medal for an Olympic gold medal. He's got everything else. Why wouldn't he?"

Regulations and Eligibility Confusion

The hosts clarify misconceptions about team compositions and player eligibility, leading to humorous misunderstandings about the rules.

Bob: "I thought each Olympic team was only allowed one NFL player."

Tom: "No, they're made up of... I know. That's not five players. And it's not Jimmy Joe Paul and Tom Brady."

Safety and Gameplay Concerns

They discuss potential safety measures and gameplay differences, highlighting questions about equipment like helmets and pads in flag football compared to traditional NFL games.

Bob: "Can they wear pads and do they wear helmets? They might wear helmets. I don't know."

Overall Sentiment

Both hosts agree that while the idea is entertaining, there are numerous unanswered questions about the implementation and practicality of NFL players in the Olympic flag football format.

Tom: "There these questions we have to find out."
