Mike Florio joined Baskin and Phelps and discussed why he found it so peculiar that JC Tretter has taken the job of NFLPA Executive Director after saying he had no interest in the position, when he thinks an 18 game NFL season is coming, and if that means league expansion is inevitable. He also broke down what was happening with the lawsuit against Sunday Ticket, why the NFL might be moving to eliminate preseason games, and explained why he thinks there's been a sudden uptick in Ty Simpson's draft stock.
