It’s not like he has anything else to play for. He made bank, won a ring, and is going to go down as the best pass rushing DT in history.

Paris is at most 9 hours ahead of anywhere in the Lower 48, so that should mean a lot of marquee events will be done in prime time there, and afternoon for here. This and EPL is the only benefit of having Xfinity as Peacock is free.
