Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo Rips NFL's Week 1 Scheduling Decision

Chris "Mad Dog" Russo has already made his opinions clear on the NFL putting some of its games on streaming and the sports talk radio legend once again ripped the league for it on Wednesday's "First Take."

In his weekly "What Are You Mad About" segment, Russo let loose on Roger Goodell and the NFL's owners for making Week 1's game in São Paulo, Brazil a Peacock exclusive.

So, the Eagle fan, who busts his butt to go to The Linc to see game after game and spends a fortune to do it, he's not gonna fly to Brazil; he may not have Peacock. So, he's gonna miss the first game of the year so the NFL can make more money? I mean, really. I mean — it's bad enough they're on Amazon. It's bad enough they go play in Europe. It's bad enough they put extra millions of teams in, and they got an Amazon playoff game this year too, which drives me crazy. They got to play the first Opening Game of the year with the Philadelphia Eagles in São Paulo on Peacock? I mean, come on.

Russo went on to rail against the league's money hungry business practices that tend to put fans last.

It's hard to get Peacock. I don't want to get Peacock! I want to watch the game normal. Give me [Joe] Buck and [Troy] Aikman. Give me the CBS crew. [Tom] Brady's gonna do it. Give me something. Don't put the Eagles 9,000 miles away and then put them on a cable thing on Peacock, which you've gotta subscribe to, so NBC can make more money. ... I know the NFL prints money, I understand how big they are. But, boy, this gets obscene. Obscene!

What do you make of the NFL's scheduling decision?
