Before Tuesday morning.

So we did start with a NBA free agency well,
(01:13):
I don't know if it was free agency. I mean,
Derek White signed an extension with Boston, Jason Tatum signed
an extension with Boston, and also the team's up for sale,
so they're going to go ahead and sell the team
that was originally bought for three hundred and sixty million
back in two thousand and two Thoms, They're going to
go ahead and sell them. Yeah, that was the other part.
Clay Thompson is now a member of the Dallas Mavericks.
(01:34):
It's a three year deal now. Reportedly it was between
Dallas and the LA Lakers, and he chose the MAVs
because of pursuing another championship and also because of the
state income tax. Apparently there was the four year offers
that had been out there for Klay Thompson, but he
(01:55):
took the three years because he felt like, you know,
no state tax here, it'll cancel some of that stuff
out and he felt better about the situation.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Basically, Lebron James had reached out to him right at
the start of free agency, you know, right when it
hit six pm Eastern time. Lebron reached out on Sunday reportedly,
but he ended up choosing the Dallas Mavericks. So, I
mean some have kind of speculated that maybe he's rejecting
Lebron James to go to Dallas, and uh maybe not
(02:26):
a maybe not a great look for Lebron and company
there in Los Angeles, just saying, man, you know, I'm
just telling me what happened.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I don't know, man, Listen. I think it's a nice
move for Clay Matthews if he can stay healthy.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Clay Thompson, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I got linebackers on the head Yeah, because that's very
different look. I did choose Jamiico Ryans as my head coach,
so yeah, they are very different looking dudes. Shouts out
the Clay Matthews. By the way, Klay Thompson death definitely
could be the missing piece to that that Dallas Mavericks team.
(03:09):
I think if they can hold together what they have
right now, clearly they'll they'll get Luca and and obviously
Kyrie back, but you know, adding adding a guy like
Klay Thompson, they were missing that shot. They were missing
and to that point so so are the Lakers. The
(03:29):
Lakers are are missing a an outside shooter, you know,
a guy that can really really knock down long balls
and and kind of keep up with the types of
teams that are developing with what we see with the
Boston Celtics, who can score from anywhere and everywhere on
the court. So this could be a very very It's
(03:53):
a nice in theory, it's a very very nice pickup
because he has the resume he has, he has the
experience where he could be such a super positive addition,
uh to to that group. So I think it's a
much more impactful pickup than it would have been for
(04:14):
the La Lakers, if you have.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I thought the Lakers addressed all their needs in the
second round of the draft.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Well they're still going after who's my what's my guy's name, Lamar?
You know it is a guy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
To echo Levar's points, I think it's the fit for
me with Clay amongst Luca and Kyrie and how he
can stretch the floor. More like if you go back
to the NBA Finals when they really needed someone who
could be a knockdown shooter outside of Kyrie and Luca,
which you know, Kyrie they Boston essentially took away and
(04:49):
they allowed Luca to go ahead and do what he does,
but they needed that like third element. They needed someone
who could stretch the floor, someone who could keep pace,
you know, with the Boston Celtics ability to knocked a
bunch of threes, and they didn't have it. They really
didn't have someone else that they could consistently rely on.
That's a knockdown shooter, and that's what Klay Thompson is.
You know, he was a part of obviously that dynasty
(05:10):
and Golden State, and even though he suffered some injuries
and maybe doesn't have the quite the same you know,
pop or anything else to a step, he is still
very much a lethal shooter, one of the better in
the league. So I think it's a good fit for
what the Mavericks need to try to, you know, contend
and win in the West and get back to an
NBA finals. So I think it makes sense from that standpoint.
(05:30):
And you know, the stating club tax, the contract and
all that. I mean, look, he was offered more money
before the season, you know, and players they take risks,
they take gamble sometimes, and this is one where it
didn't quite work out because he didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
It wasn't. He's not coming off one of his best seasons.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And so that's the difficulty as far as how his
chapter ends with his time with Golden State is. It
doesn't end on a high note, it doesn't end on extension,
it doesn't end on something where he kind of sales
off in the sunset. It unfortunately, you know, forced him
to have to go somewhere else to finish his career,
which is sad, but at the same time it creates
an opportunity for so I actually, I really think this
(06:11):
could be a great fit for him. I think Dallas
is an immediate compender. I'm not sure the Lakers are.
I think you know that probably had something to do
with it, amongst you know, just the financial you know
ramifications too. I mean, the year less doesn't matter as
much obviously, because you'd rather have another year or where
you're going to be making significant money since they're guaranteed contracts.
(06:31):
But you know, when you're looking at the Dallas Mavericks
standinghram tax and all that, that's real. I mean, thirteen
cents on what every dollar you know that you're earning
in Dallas, at least when you're playing those home games.
Is not the case of you're playing in LA where
that's that's going to the state government.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Clay Matthews had ninety one and a half career sacks. Oh,
Clay Matthews the third He hasn't played since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
What the hell? So he was only thirty three years old.
So old and just but I did see Lee. Did
you know this?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
He's going into the Packers Hall of Fame this year
he got inducted the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I did not know. But that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
God, that was a left hand turned out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well, Labar brought up Clay Matthew. I couldn't care less
about Klay Thompson signing with Dallas. I'll be honest, like
I just I don't care. Do you let us into
this topic.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I don't know because it was on the rundown.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I'm just again, I've got show integrity here, all right,
segment integrity.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I was really I was really about to talk about
the idea of why you we could be looking at
a Lakers team that they're going after DeRozan and the
question now becomes, has the has the current developments made
it maybe a non touchable team. If you're a veteran,
(07:46):
not everybody wants to sign up for the le Breakers,
you know what I mean? Like they just like it's
his coach, Kyrie, Now it's his kid.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
We talked about it, remember when Kyrie decided, Yeah, I'm
good here.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I think there's some bigger issues that have to be
discussed in terms of understanding what you're stepping into if
you become a Laker, and how does that work with
building your team from here on out. I mean, I'm
sure he's got good enough friendships that they could get
guys that he's cool with. But man, outside of the
Lebron James circle of trust, I would assume that that's
(08:20):
not a that's not the most attractive place to want
to go play. It feels like all those guys are
getting older too, Like like a b AB's always had
that old man body. Anyway though, add Ad, Yeah, there
you go.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
AB's got bigger problems right now. So I hear, what
are those problems? Yeah, they asked him on the pivot
straight out like.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Antonio Brown I said, I said, are yeah. I said
that thirty million dollar he could have had from the
Raiders probably coming in that was he doing.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Look, I mean listen, Lebron and the Lakers have got
to figure out something. Uh So if they they were
a playing team this year, they were playing team the
year before they won a Bubble championship. They missed the
playoffs one other year. I just you know, it feels
like they are further down the Western Conference than maybe
a lot of people want to admit. And now now
(09:29):
Dallas gets better, Oklahoma City is better.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Oh they got better. Yeah, they had their draft, Yeah
they got better. Really loaded up and that's loaded on
up and brought it all home. Game changer.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Dam Well, you know, we'll see how this plays out.
But NBA free agency is really off and running here.
So so that is you're you're looking everything around the league.
By the way, did you also know that Clay Matthews
is not a you or he's a third? You already
said that, man, I well, I'm just letting you know.
(10:06):
I mean, did I listened to see we listened to you?
All right?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Good, all right, you're repeating. I'm just impressed.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Well he was an impressions a third that's numbers has
worked out.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
There's a whole bunch of I did not know that
his that his numbers were as good as they were,
But yeah, I have a career man like like hall
of fame career like, yeah, hall of fame. I think
he's a Hall of Fame. One time All Pro. Six
him one time All Pro hurts you, But the dude
was a beast man, loved his game. Nice pass Rusher
(10:42):
reminded me of like the new age Kevin Green, you
know who coached him.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Sporting News Defensive Player of the Year and the Pro
Football Writers Association Defensive Player of the Year. Not really
sure what the difference is between that and the other
official player of the Year, but nonetheless, to get to.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That quarterback, I'll tell you for him.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Just final you're with the Ramsey at eight sacks, trying
to figure out what happened, Like where is he at
these days?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Just retired? Like where does he live?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I don't know, Probably so cow. He's in a Gore
High the Gore Chargers. You out there, Yeah, okay, that's
where he played. They played football out here, man, Yeah
they do. They don't play t ball apparently, you know
they don't do that because I signed my sign up
for a t ball class and uh, it got canceled
because of t balls, of low enrollment, low enrollment for
(11:32):
these nerds who'd rather play video games in the summer
than go out and hit bus.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
That's partially on the coaches or the league or whatever too.
I don't care how many sign up. Then go out
and do drills and stuff with them. You know, let
him practice, let him get better.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
How about you do.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
You do it?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Don't worry about taking them to a glass. You do
it every day.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Are we are we still driving him around to have
him take a nap? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
The environment's not my problem. Sorry, I don't tell you.
Kid's got to sleep sometimes. That's the trick, all right,
two pros and a cup of Joe here on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (12:12):

break down.
Speaker 4 (12:16):

be a disaster.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
He's going to pass it down to his son. Yes,
I am no, it's not.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Not possible.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I think it's like going to be like a rite
of passage. Sure is, like I passed down my number,
you gonna pass down your truck. By the way, he's
gonna have to fight over with the in laws.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
I'll tell you that, right, Wait, what do you mean

Speaker 6 (15:04):
How are you, hey, guys? What's happening?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
He First of all, did you figure out the situation
and then Nantucket to get your car over?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Did that go?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I did?
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Yeah? I would just say I showed up at four
am on Friday, since the standby has been shut down completely,
so you can't drive your car on anymore without a reservation,
so we would have been screwed about twenty four hours later.
And I just put it this way, being nice to
people who who are working in these situations is the
(15:38):
best way to get things done.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
That's that.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
That's what I would say. Just be nice to people,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Did you have to bribe anybody or kick college?
Speaker 6 (15:46):
No, no bribery. I just I mean I just sort
of befriended a couple people at the at the ferry
Port and they were very very nice, and I'm sure
they've been treated like crap, you know, all week, and
so it all worked out for me. Like I said,
treat people well and they'll take care of you.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
All right, That's a good adage, a good rule to
live by.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Albert, I want to ask you, because you're the one
that tipped us off to uh maybe an Egyptian vacation
from Aaron Rodgers who's so tired. Then Marquez Valdez brings
it out and he happens to blurt it out. I
guess that that's where he went. So now that we
have confirmation from sitting outside out.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
By the way, I want to make sure I'm right
about like because I did. Obviously I know it's out
there now, but like, was it mvs?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Was he?
Speaker 6 (16:31):
That was that the first it? Like he just blurted
it out on the on the herd, right, correct, That's great,
that's great that that's how it came out. Anyway, go
you you being.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
A member of the media, and given I guess the
requirements being in the media, you're gonna have to be
critical of this. How will this be viewed in the
short term and and give us your take on how
this is going to be viewed in the long term
or what None of it mattered in the long term.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
I think it's short term like honestly, like if we're
talking short term, like the next couple of weeks, I think,
you know, it's going to be quickly forgotten it and
not talked about a whole lot. And then you know,
I think when he shows up the training camp and
he speaks for the first time, he'll have to address it.
And then if something goes wrong, like then people are
(17:21):
going to point back to it, whether that's fair or not.
You know, I think that's part of the price of
doing it like this way and having that trip during
the mandatory mini camp is that you know, when you
miss something mandatory and look like it's not totally buried
there because Aaron was there for the entire offseason program
and you know, there are other quarterbacks who missed more
(17:43):
of their team's offseason programs than Aaron did. However, the
fact that he missed the mandatory thing that he knew
that it would be a big deal if he did,
and he did it anyway, it's gonna, like I think,
going forward, have this is something that's just sort of
lingering out there. And so you know, if they have
a great camp and and they and they start five
(18:04):
and zero, like this is all forgotten if they have
bumps early in camp or the offense doesn't look right
and then they start owing too, then everybody's going to
point back to it, and everybody's going to say, oh, well,
he's not really locked in, and again, whether that's fair
or not, Like I think that's sort of the price
of it, and being in New York only magnifies that.
Like this is this is where I think there is
(18:25):
an actual difference between being in Green Bay and being
in New York. Like, I don't look at the coverage
is that different. The Packers are intensely covered in the
state of Wisconsin, and you know, every media outlet in
Wisconsin is is focused very, very very singularly on on
on the Packers, you know. So it's not like the Jets.
It's not the Jets are covered all that much more intensely.
(18:48):
But when it comes to stuff like this that I
think is where the difference is. So I think something
like this could you know, just kind of linger in
the background and then if something goes wrong, people will
point back to it.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Where does the blame get pointed? In Dallas if their
season doesn't go well, obviously they're they're you know, ceedee
Lamb has not reported or it doesn't seem to be
on on the cusp of reporting that there's there's other,
uh contract issues out there. Do you think they get
a contract done with any of these guys, Albert and
(19:21):
and if so, like what where where does the Blane go?
Does it go to couch quarterback or ownership or all
of these?
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Yeah, I think part of the prompt is like the
Blaine probably goes to the person you can't fire, right like, So,
I mean, like I do think a lot a lot
of the stuff that's out there right now, this stuff
is going to be an issue for them when they
get to training camp. Whether it's Mike McCarthy's contract, it's uh,
you know, Dak Prescott's contract, and c See Lamb's contract,
(19:50):
it's Michael Parsons contract. That all inspect to ownership. And
this is the thing, like when the ownership is making
football decisions, that they're only one place at the point
when it comes to like this. And so it's hard
to blame Mike McCarthy for the fact that the three
best players on the team are employed in contract situations,
(20:11):
you know. And then obviously Mike McCarthy's contract situation is
up to ownerships. So you know, I think all of
this points back to the Jones family, and you know,
I'll give Jerry and Stephen, you know, and then credit
for this, like they've never been afraid to wear a
target on their back when it comes to stuff like this.
But we have been down this road with them before,
you know, and you know, you look back. They had
(20:34):
to pay more for Zach Martin because they waited to
do a contract with them. They had to pay more
for DeMarcus Lawrence because they waited to do a contract
with them. They did pay more of the first time
around up for Dak Prescott because they waited with him.
So this is sort of the same song and dance
when it comes to the Cowboys. They've they've let players
play their contracts out and it's it's wound up costing
(20:56):
them in the end. And you know, it looks it's
like like that's going to happen again now. I think
Dak will be there when they report the training camp
in California at the end of the month. I think Michaeh.
Parsons will also be there, even if he's not completely
happy for his negotiation. Is Ceedee Lamb is the one
that I would watch where I think there is a
(21:19):
possibility that if a contract doesn't get done that maybe
he doesn't show up.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
And this kind kind of Albert Brier joining us here
on Fox Sports Radio. I just following up on that
quickly from people you talk to around the NFL. Why
do they wait, Like why do they handle it the
way they do as opposed to every other team in
the league who wants to get this done ahead of
time so they don't have to run in to have
it a pay sdeper price.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Well, they have a great they have a great example
of the benefit of getting it done right there in
their division, getting it done early, right, Like the Eagles
have done an awesome job with that. Like the Eagles
do you look like when they paid DeVante Smith, like
your team like they were paying a premium for him
at the start of the offseason, right, like that deal
all of a sudden looks like wow, like that's not
so bad, you know, Jayalen Waddell got more than he did,
Amon Rossi bron got more than he did. And now
(22:06):
Jefferson change the dynamic of paying receivers in general. And
that was just because the Eagles did not even a
year early. That was a few months earlier than the that,
you know what I mean, Like that was like, let's
do it at the very beginning of the offseason. The
Eagles did the same thing with Jayon Hurts last year
where they got to jump on the rest of the
quarterbacks getting paid. So I know, I've heard a lot
(22:27):
of different stories in this. I mean, I you know,
in some cases just that you're less sure about, you know,
whether or not the players worth the investment. The more cynical,
the more cynical feels this. I have heard some people,
you know, I have just heard some people feel this
way about certain owners up the Joneses in particular, that
that owners want to keep their their their money on
(22:49):
I keep their money in their investments and that sort
of thing for the extra few months. So sometimes they
won't pay a player until July or August, or even
open series negotiations until the summer so they can keep
their money in their own accounts those extra few months.
That's a cynical way to look at it, but I
wouldn't doubt that it exists somewhere in the NFL, and
(23:09):
and maybe it's part of the inquick with the Cowboys too.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Albert.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
We got to ask you because as we sit here
in this what July second, it is now kind of
looking around.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
What are you doing this time of year? You know,
like what kind of stuff are you falling? Is this
just a break for you? How does it all?
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Well?
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Yeah, yeah, I'm looking off my deck at a marina
right now. So yeah, how did it worked out?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
With the fairy and all that stuff?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Everything? Everything? Like I said earlier, LeVar, everything worked out fine.
We got we got the we got the car over here.
It only took a day, which was like quoted it
like three days and now stand by and shut down
all together on the other side. So we're all good
over here. I actually, like my biggest problem right now
is getting old man injuries with my with my kids.
I got I got picked up and thrown by a way, yes,
(24:00):
say where I landed on my hip and it doesn't
feel too great right now. May may or may not
have slipped off a bike a couple of days ago,
but otherwise.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
You.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Really are a journalist. You really have no athletics.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
I'm a warrior. I'm a warrior, Brady.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I mean, were you having a couple of cocktails? Is
that what happened.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
I mean, there's there's nothing wrong with getting started a
little early when you're off right fair enough.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
It sounds beautiful up there, Albert, Can I ask you?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Can I ask you one more football question before the
Ayyuk conversation. I mean, we're it almost seems as like
they're letting him know, and they're letting people know that
they really really want Brandon. You have spoken about that
on the show, but it just seems to be that,
you know, Ayuk wants the number that's obviously connected to
(24:57):
who's next in line for are getting paid at that position,
and so he wants his numbers to be up there
where some of these other guys where their numbers are.
I mean, how how does this play.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Well?
Speaker 6 (25:11):
LeVar I just talked about like the difference not even
in the years, but in haunts and getting contracts done
right like and I and I do think like that
was why the Eagles, the Dolphins and Alliance were smart
to act as fast as they did with their receivers
with DeVante Smith, Jalen Waddle and I'm and Ross Saint
Brown and that like that was all intentional that those
(25:33):
teams got those deals done earlier in the offseason, all
those teams were trying to beat the Justice Jefferson deal, right,
because I think all those teams knew that once Jefferson
get got done, that the dynamic could change. And you know,
obviously now we know the dynamic has changed. That went
from you know, where they were at those guys Amon Ross,
(25:53):
Saint Brown, Dalen Waddel, DeVante Smith all right there in
the twenty eight million dollar range, right, thirty five million.
That's a twenty five percent height. And so you know,
now if you're Ceedee Lamb's agent or your Brandon Auk's agent,
you're not going to do this deal like it's April. Still,
You're going to do this deal like the markets has changed,
(26:15):
you know. So I think these things have become a
little bit more complicated because justin Jefferson's deal did change
the dynamic. But that was all predictable, you know what
I mean. Like, I think that's why that That's why
I think it was smart of the Again, the Dolphins,
the Eagles, and the Lions they acted aggressively as they did,
and the Niners tried, they really did, you know, But
(26:38):
I'm not I'm just speculating on this car. But if
if Brandon a his agent flow placed a little bit
to see what happened to Jefferson and that's goods.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Albert Brier joining us here at Fox Sports Radio, Senior
NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
So you wrote this week, AB and.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
You can find it at Albert wereer on Twitter about
the new kickoff rules and and just sort of what
the plan is. Is this really where the preseason is
going to have some value because this is going to
be where they try all this stuff out and try
and figure out what they're going to be wanting to
do moving forward.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Yeah, well, I mean the football guys here can give
me a better idea on this, like LeVar and Brady,
But I think the kickoff is probably one of the
more difficult plays in football to simulate in the practice.
Will you guys say that's fair?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yeah, sure, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
It's probably. I mean, I just I think because of that,
like the preseason games are going to becoming a really
important Petri dish for special teams coaches, the joint practices too,
and you know, trying to get a handle on what
this is going to look like because I don't think
anybody really knows right now. So you can't simulate it.
(27:48):
You certainly can't simulate in the spring, even like a
full contact practice in the summer. It's hard to simulate it. So, yeah,
the preseason game is gonna be really important, and there
might be less i'd say, switching around to personnel in
those situations, you might see your more you know, regular
guys out there to try to get a better handle
on it. So coaches have an idea how to handle
(28:10):
it when they get to the regular season, and even then,
guys like I know, we've heard a lot of talking.
We've talked about it on the show too. I think, right,
look about how you could the Dolphins put Tyree Kill
back there? You know what I mean? Could uh you know,
could could the Chiefs put Zavier Worthy back there? Could
the could you wind up putting a more important player
(28:32):
back there to return kicks to kick kickoffs are more important? Now, well,
that's possible, But I think, you know, we're gonna have
a period of experimentation, maybe the first quarter to six
weeks the season, where you know, I think everybody's gonna
be still feeling each other out and feeling out what
the play looks like and how dangerous the play is
and what sort of risk you're running by putting a
(28:53):
premier player back there, you know, and then then then
you go from there. So I think this is gonna
be like anything else where you're gonna have the preseas
even then you're almost gonna have an extended preseason with
that play in particular. And I don't think like they're
going to have it all figured out before. I don't know,
but somewhere between the middle of October and the beginning
of November and and then maybe you start to see
(29:16):
a little bit more risk taking and gambling there where
you're starting to see more important players back there, or
maybe the plays more violent than people think, and and
then you don't see that. I think it's going to
be a matter of figuring it out over the first
few weeks of the season after trying to figure it
out through the preseason.

than U saying Bolt.
Speaker 2 (34:05):

that like the seven of the top eight all time
record holders of the one hundred meters have all had
some sort of a PD violation. Usain Bolt's the only
one who hasn't nothing.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
It wasn't he an eight hundred runner two? And then
they convinced him to go down to like, I know,
he was four hundred and eight hundred. I thought then
they convinced them to do the sprints to go to
one hundred two hundred. I thought that was the initial
store like he could dominate at any of those distances.
He was the fastest person.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
In the world's lone.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
He made a business decision because he made a grip
just being just going one hundred and beating everybody six five.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Yeah, yeah, that is the glamour event, right.
