Welcome back to the Weekend Watchlist, where I promised last week that I would have a solution to the ongoing crisis inside Jason and Kylie Kelce’s imaginary NFL Sunday Ticket watch party.

I do.

More TVs.

A lot more TVs.

I know that might seem like an obvious solution considering Jason made roughly a gazillion dollars playing football, but apparently nobody involved in this commercial has considered it yet. Kylie is still worried about having 20 people over who all want to watch different games, while Jason continues to act like everything is perfectly fine and dandy just because he owns Sunday Ticket, something he’s probably not paying for because of who he is. Jason, I’m going to attempt to let you down easy here, but that’s not the solution. We have already established this.

Enjoying The Football Corner? Paid subscribers help support independent coverage of college football, the NFL and soccer — and get access to subscriber-only columns, bonus analysis and more throughout the season.

So, here is my proposal. Six televisions. Maybe seven if we want to be safe. One main screen for the biggest game, a few others scattered around for secondary games, one for baseball because the MLB postseason is happening and perhaps even an iPad that we could put next to the appetizers. We need a ton of screens, enough to make the Kelces’ internet absolutely implode due to the increased bandwidth.

This weekend is exactly why this is necessary, too. While the college football slate isn’t necessarily loaded with massive games, there are a lot of really interesting ones. The NFL slate is extremely compelling, with the U.S. men’s national team also getting into the mix with an intriguing friendly against rival Mexico. And, again, there is playoff baseball happening throughout all of this.

Kylie, I hope this helps. Go get your husband to buy some TVs.

Let’s watch some football.
