Hey, before we jump back into the show, let's take a quick break. But not just any break, this is a refreshing break with Snapple. We all know about Snapple's iconic Real Facts, so let's take a minute to go over some of my faves. Snapple Real Fact 2064: the first college football game broadcast on TV was on September 30th 1939. Snapple Real Fact 1896: the tradition of playing football on Thanksgiving originated with college football in 1876. Snapple Real Fact 1983: the first player drafted to play pro football never played in the league. Snapple Real Fact 1119: the Grand Canyon could hold about 900 trillion footballs. That's a lot of footballs. So grab a Snapple, take a second, and enjoy the moment, because let's be honest, this might be the most refreshing part of your day. Snapple, make your break more interesting. All right, now let's get back to the show.
