The way tire buying should be, How did we get here and where are we going? Ceedee Lamb got paid. We knew he was going to get paid. We knew that he would get paid before the season started. I thought it was non story because all of these wide receivers are getting paid. The question is he's not going to get Justin Jefferson money is he going to get maybe just a little bit less. So we're here in the low thirties to maybe mid thirties, and at what point do we get to forty million dollars for a wide receiver. I remember talking about TJ. Watt and how important it was that he was going to be the first defensive player to get thirty million dollars in a season. Now, Micah Parsons, who knows what he's going to get. And if you're looking at the most important positions, obviously it's quarterback. And then we could have a debate on edge rusher or wide receiver. Wide receivers are getting paid. You still have Jamar Chase who's out there, and I don't know if Jamar Chase is going I should be paid more than Justin Jefferson. Now, he's probably going to ask for more than that. I'm sure CD Lamb asked for more than that. But you eventually get around too. This is where you're slotted. And I remember when AJ Brown signed his deal and I thought, if I'm Jerry Jones, I say to Cede Lamb, I'm going to give you a little bit more than AJ Brown. Now, I don't know if CD Lamb would have said okay or his agent would have said it felt like the longer this went, the more receivers who were signed, the more expensive it was going to be for CD Lamb. Now you're going to get this conversation today. What does CD Lamb's signing mean for Dak Prescott. I don't think they're related other than they play for the same team. I don't think Dak Prescott signs a deal. If I'm Dak Prescott, I wouldn't sign a deal because if the Cowboys don't like at this point the Cowboys know Dak is their future or he's not. It's not one of those no, I don't know, Let's see him play another season. If I'm Dak Prescott, you probably say I've done everything I can do, Like I'm playing at a pretty high level. I was an MVP. Now you can counter that by saying, but what do you do in the post? And that's fair. But if he doesn't re sign with the Cowboys or he goes out to the open market, he's going to get paid because look at the quarterbacks who are going to be available. Look at the quarterbacks in this year's draft, there's nobody where you go got to get him. Now, we had a few of them in this draft, but next year and at least right now, I don't know if somebody goes Quinn yours now you want them on that rookie deal. But as far as quarterbacks are, I mean, Kirk Cousins got paid by at Lamba and then they drafted a quarterback. He will find a taker. You know, maybe it's the Raiders a team like that, but he's going to get paid, whether it's with the Cowboys or not. But the longer they wait, now there's no other quarterbacks who are going to be signed. You know, before the start of the season, everybody is all signed up. So he knows sort of where he's going to get paid. He knows that sweet spot. And if the Cowboys don't pay him, somebody else will. But if I'm Dak Prescott, I have to bet on myself again. And it certainly helps that you have Ceedee Lamb there. That'll make it a whole lot easier if Ceedee Lamb wasn't there. And if I'm Dak Prescott, I'm like, it'd be nice if we had him. You knew eventually he was going to get in camp. Now, the question is he going to be.

Ready to go?

Ready to go?

This is where you get those soft tissue injuries where they're just nagging, you know, is he going to be able to play? Is he going to be limited first couple of games there? But ceedee, Lamb got paid. I'm not surprised. He's a wonderful player and you could make a case he's the best receiver in football. And with Dak Prescott as his quarterback as opposed to Sam Darnold, with Justin Justin Jefferson, that might be the best combo platter that we have in the NFL.

All right, set, what's the pole question that we have today?

All right, set, what's the pole question that we have today?

Let's see we got one here from Paulie. If you were betting Chiefs of the field.

Let's see we got one here from Paulie. If you were betting Chiefs of the field.

We don't do the Tiger Woods thing in football very often, but with the Chiefs, I would say, I'll take the Chiefs.

We don't do the Tiger Woods thing in football very often, but with the Chiefs, I would say, I'll take the Chiefs.

I think I would take the Chiefs. Like I've learned.

I think I would take the Chiefs. Like I've learned.

It's one of those where you want to you want to deny something that's so obvious.

It's one of those where you want to you want to deny something that's so obvious.

You're like, I can't like even doing the show.

You're like, I can't like even doing the show.

You're like, if I do the Chiefs, people and go, oh wow, I really went out on a limb, but deep down you go, they should win. Denver might be a little bit better, Chargers might be a little bit better. Raiders are probably going to be the same. So you might have twelve thirteen wins. Now you're hosting games. Now the Dolphins have to go to Kansas City, where Cincinnati has to go there or the raven You know, remember when Miami went there it didn't go well. So you got to look at it and go, Okay, what's my record in my division overall record, and what do I think is going to happen in other divisions here? You've got to kind of handicap it that way because you want to be at home for as many of those, you know, playoff games as possible. Certainly if you're a team like the Miami Dolphins where weather hasn't been their friend, Buffalo is not afraid to go anywhere, Cincinnati's not afraid to go anywhere, Kansas City's not afraid to go anywhere. Then you have San Francisco, Philadelphia, Detroit. So you know there's probably seven teams, eight teams right now that you say could go to a Super Bowl. How many can win a Super Bowl? So it's it's not a long list. I know we're all hopeful. If you're a fan base with a team like the Titans, you're like, you know, maybe we could, maybe we could kind of sneak in there as a wild card team. Everybody has hope. That hope is going to dissipate probably after about a month, and then you're going to go, Okay, we kind of know who we are. Like, if I'm an Atlanta Falcon fan, I'm excited because I have a good offense, Like I have a really good offense, and that's division you could win. But if I'm Tampa, I feel pretty good. So there's certain teams that you go I feel maybe a little bit better. If I'm a Bears fan, I feel better. I don't know if they'll make the playoffs. I said they would Green Bay. All right, Now, you're not a surprise. You're not gonna sneak up on anybody. The Texans, You're not gonna sneak up on anybody this year. Somebody's going up and somebody's coming down. But that's sort of the beauty of what the NFL tries to, you know, put forth every single year. They want parody, they want a surprise team.

Or two.

Or two.

They want, you know, nine and eight, eight nine, you know that's they're fine with that. Ten and seven. Everybody's kind of bunched in there. You're gonna have a couple of teams that are probably gonna have twelve thirteen win seasons, and then those are the teams that are going to be hosting playoff games. So I would probably go Kansas City. I would because I don't think Kansas City played well last year. I really don't. That game against the Raiders that was eye opening late in the season and I went, wow, they are vulnerable. But that was a wake up call. Andy Reid talked about that that they kind of needed that, and then we realized they're a defensive first team. Imagine having the most valuable player in the sport, but it's the defense that's more valuable to that team, or at least it was last year when they needed it most to win a Super Bowl. Mahomes is great, we know that the defense was the big surprise there. You got Pacheco, you got Kelsey, like you have enough, and then you're hoping some of these other receivers, whether it's a rookie receiver or somebody who has bounced around a little bit.

Mahomes will make them better.

Mahomes will make them better.

But I would say I probably have fewer questions about Kansas City. That doesn't mean I'm going to pick them when I make my Super Bowl pick next week. What other poll question do you have.

But I would say I probably have fewer questions about Kansas City. That doesn't mean I'm going to pick them when I make my Super Bowl pick next week. What other poll question do you have.

That'd go ahead?

That'd go ahead?

Bring on the game? Now that's a different era Todd.

Bring on the game? Now that's a different era Todd.

Todd does that in the hallway and he'll just be walking around and he loves to do theme songs of TV shows.

Todd does that in the hallway and he'll just be walking around and he loves to do theme songs of TV shows.

All right, what else do you have there?

All right, what else do you have there?

Seat, Well, we're looking at the sort of explosion of wide receiver contract. Yes, more valuable to your team wide receiver? Or we put an edge rusher defensive end. Okay, who's more valuable for the Cowboys. Let's just start there with Michael Parsons CD Lamb. Who's more valuable?

Seat, Well, we're looking at the sort of explosion of wide receiver contract. Yes, more valuable to your team wide receiver? Or we put an edge rusher defensive end. Okay, who's more valuable for the Cowboys. Let's just start there with Michael Parsons CD Lamb. Who's more valuable?

You could have a really good argument there because they're both impactful.

You could have a really good argument there because they're both impactful.

Cebee Lamb had crazy numbers last year.

Cebee Lamb had crazy numbers last year.

Michael Parsons, I don't know what his sack total was, But if I put sack total and hurries in there, what kind of numbers does that compare to Max Crosby or TJ. Watt or you throw out whoever. Man feels like it's the wide receiver. You know now, like it's twenty times when Tyreek Hill got paid and I thought, wow, you know, i's twenty eight million dollars for a receiver. And then all of a sudden people started jumping past that. And then I was told by somebody with the affiliated with the Dolphins. They're like, oh, Tyreek's gonna wait till everybody's done, and then he wants to get paid more than everybody else. So it feels like there's more wide receivers getting paid than edge rushers. You know what, do we have five edge rushers? Like Vosa's in there? Who am I missing from the Miles Garrett's in there? So you got five guys that you think of that are you know? Well, that guy can turn a game around a difference maker. Yes, Marvin is Chris Jones considered an ed rusher or DT. I just I just look at him as a football player, like he's Aaron Donald, I got it. He just he's gonna make plays, and he does make plays in big, big moments. But I would just call him a football player. He's sort of that hybrid, what do you need me to do? And then he'll end up doing it nine days until the NFL opener, and today it's cutdown day. Imagine this scenario, and Ross Tucker so eloquently told us about what it's like to be the biggest name in your hometown. You were the star of the high school team, you go to college, now you're in the NFL. And then all of a sudden, wait a minute, why is Ross Tucker at the Wendy's. I just saw him. He's at the dry and he played football, So your whole identity for the first time in your life is just chopped off at the knees.

He's at the dry and he played football, So your whole identity for the first time in your life is just chopped off at the knees.

And he said, you go home.

And he said, you go home.

And everybody asked the same thing, because you can't miss a big football player when he's in town. Back in town, everybody, oh, you knew who I saw today? And Ross talked about that these guys have been All American five star, four star, three star, that everywhere they've gone. And now you go to the NFL and you're just you're holding on for one of those fifty three spots on the roster, and then all of a sudden, come on in and bring your playbook, and now you got to go home, like you don't even get on the practice squad, but at least on the practice squad. You're still on the team technically, but when you're not a professional football player.

And I'm sure that it's embarrassing.

And I'm sure that it's embarrassing.

Some may find it humiliating that you've been a star football player. That's your identity until it's not your identity, and then you go home and you just sit there, and then you hope that somebody's going to give you a chance, maybe somebody gets injured, maybe you get to go back. But I just I can't imagine what that must feel like, that that's who you are, that's your identity, and all of a sudden, it's not your identity, and now you're a former football player.

But I just I can't imagine what that must feel like, that that's who you are, that's your identity, and all of a sudden, it's not your identity, and now you're a former football player.

Yeah, Marvin, Yeah, I knew a guy that played college football around my hometown and big jack running back and he played and he I forgot what team it was, but he made the last cut and he was selling insurance now and everyone's like, oh man, you're a big guy. He used to play football. He's like, I try, I believe me. I may like the last cut a couple of years in a row.

Yeah, Marvin, Yeah, I knew a guy that played college football around my hometown and big jack running back and he played and he I forgot what team it was, but he made the last cut and he was selling insurance now and everyone's like, oh man, you're a big guy.

Yes, Todd, that's the other thing.

Yes, Todd, that's the other thing.

What do you do for a living where you're not constantly running into old high school friends and people are like, what are you You're working in the mall or you're working in that selling shoes or whatever you're doing until you can, you know, re find some other team that might be interested in you. You have to go home, and you can't just crawl under the bed. You got to kind of move all of your life.

You have to go home, and you can't just crawl under the bed. You got to kind of move all of your life.

Yeah, and I think you just work out.

Yeah, and I think you just work out.

I think you have to keep working out because your window of opportunity is going to close.

I think you have to keep working out because your window of opportunity is going to close.

It's already closing.

It's already closing.

And then maybe you get a chance with somebody else, and then the following you know, summer, you're going to try out for a team again, and then you may be faced with reality of I'm not going to play anymore.

And then maybe you get a chance with somebody else, and then the following you know, summer, you're going to try out for a team again, and then you may be faced with reality of I'm not going to play anymore.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's a weird thing though, that like we're sort of talking about because it's like.

It's a weird thing though, that like we're sort of talking about because it's like.

Like, oh, hey, loser, you you only made the What happened? I thought you played it for five years and now you're not there? What a loser?

Like, oh, hey, loser, you you only made the What happened? I thought you played it for five years and now you're not there? What a loser?

Like? Uh no, he made it further than like pretty much ninety nine percent of anybody, you know. Yeah, Well, it's that's something that you need to like hang your head and shame over.

Like? Uh no, he made it further than like pretty much ninety nine percent of anybody, you know. Yeah, Well, it's that's something that you need to like hang your head and shame over.

You know. Well, I think the player does. I don't know if the reaction from you know, everyday people, but when they see you, they're probably like, oh god, well, hopefully you'll get on a roster again. Everywhere you go, you're gonna get questions about that. When you go back to your hometown, Hey, aren't you playing anymore?

You know. Well, I think the player does. I don't know if the reaction from you know, everyday people, but when they see you, they're probably like, oh god, well, hopefully you'll get on a roster again. Everywhere you go, you're gonna get questions about that. When you go back to your hometown, Hey, aren't you playing anymore?

No? Not this year? Well what happened?

No? Not this year? Well what happened?

I didn't make that. You don't say you got cut. Didn't make the fifty three man roster doesn't sound as bad. Didn't make the fifty three man roster, yes, Marv.

I didn't make that. You don't say you got cut. Didn't make the fifty three man roster doesn't sound as bad. Didn't make the fifty three man roster, yes, Marv.

And the crazy thing about football is it's not like you can go play overseas. It's not basketball. If you don't make the Lakers. I can go play in the G League, or I can go play in Europe or Australia or whatever. It's it's just here and maybe the XFL or something like that. But there's no there's no real options after that.

Ye, we'll get to your phone calls coming up. Settle on a poll question. I reached out to DraftKings. I go, okay, give me over unders for CD Lamb this year, just signed big deal and then uh, he had a monster year last year. Over under catches for CD Lamb is one oh three and a half, over under touchdowns, nine and a half over under receiving yards thirteen hundred and fifty. Feels like he better go over all those numbers. If I'm Dak Prescott, I'm like a man that's just an average season there. You need him to be spectacular, all right. So our one poll question, Seaton, are we going to go? Well, you know, Pauline and I were just talking during the commercial break. Would you rather have a great receiver or a great defensive player? Do we want to do edge rusher? Because that feels like those are the guys getting paid. So if we're looking at spending your thirty million dollars, do you want Micah Parsons or CD Lamb?

Do you want t J. Watt or Justin Jefferson.

Do you want t J. Watt or Justin Jefferson.

Even when we had JJ watt on, I asked him who would you rather have Justin Jefferson or your brother? And then he kind of pleaded the fifth on that. That give you an idea of what he thinks about the greatness of Justin Jefferson. And even last year Kirk Cousins missed what three or four games? And who do they have as their quarterback? Nick Mullins? And I think he probably had great numbers with Nick Mullins as his quarterbacks. So when you say, well, you don't have Kirk Cousins, you got Sam Darnold in that offense with that coach. You got another good receiver there, Jordan Addison, you expect incredible numbers out of him. Tyreek Hill incredible numbers, Like wasn't it last year where we were saying, could he get to two thousand yards in that offense? He's probably, you know, Lisa sixteen seventeen hundred yard guy. Then you throw in Wadel there as well. Tua in that offense with Mike McDaniel. I mean, really, that's the difference that head coach has made a big difference in Tua. So how about that is a poll question? Would you rather have the best edge rusher or the best wide receiver? In football because Paulie and I disagree. I'm going to take Justin Jefferson, I'll take CD Lamb. You're gonna take Micah Parsons.

I think so this is really close, but it seems like Parsons is unavoidable. You can't run away from him the whole game. You can only if you double team him. Someone else has helped out. I guess it works that way with a wide receiver position, but like, if you don't have a pass rush, don't I don't think you really have any chance in the league. And he is a permanent pass rush. He's really truly unstoppable. If I had Ceedee Lamb, there's there could be stretches where he disappears or not him. But wide receivers can be locked up or double team.

But those guys can win a game on one play. Now you can say that about an edge rusher, but Cede Lamb could do something where you're down at your twenty and you're down by six and then he scores a touchdown.

Yeah. I feel like though, sort of modern game.

Yeah. I feel like though, sort of modern game.

If you're starting your team, you start with a quarterback and then you go to an edge rusher. Okay, it's sort of like it feels like currently the most valuable position on the other side of the ball or the second most valuable position in the game.

Yeah, you have to have that guy.

Yeah, you have to have that guy.

Yes, it feels like that. But today's game is predicated on offense. Certainly the regular season is it's weird. I look at the regular season differently than the postseason. Postseason, give me that defensive guy, because they're one possession games, whether you know sometimes plays a role in this. It just gets you start to get a little more conservative with your play calling and trying to make sure you take you know, you don't have turnovers. Like it just feels like defense is going to win a championship. And you can say this about you know, all of these great quarterbacks. How many times did those games come down to did the defense do something? A defense did A defense didn't even go back to Tampa Bay, Brady gets credit for the Super Bowl. That defense was unbelievable against Patrick Mahomes, even the Chiefs this year. The defense winning a Super Bowl making a big play when you need to make a big play. Now you can say, well, you're picking and choosing here. I just know, when a game is on the line, do you have a defensive player's going to make a play and if you do, chances are you're going to win. In the regular season, it just doesn't feel like defense is as important or something maybe you know, we focus on, but in the postseason we do.

Yeah, Paulin, this is such a tough question because you could look at the wide receiver position. Remember like three or four years ago, when DeVante Adams and Aaron Rodgers were hooking up and maybe third and five and everyone knew exactly where the ball was going. There wasn't even really a question and they still couldn't stop it. And Justin Jefferson feels that way and ceedee Lamb, like, do I have a guy on my team where it's third and five. Everyone knows he's getting it, He's going to run a six yard pattern and nothing you can do stop you know, if you look at Grinkowski at his peak, or guys like that Travis Kelcey at the goal line, I mean, there's a point where it's kind of silly. Everyone knows he's getting the ball and it's still unstoppable.

All right, So maybe we'll do that as the poll question first hour, you'd rather have how are you going to phrase that the best receiver or best defensive player.

All right, So maybe we'll do that as the poll question first hour, you'd rather have how are you going to phrase that the best receiver or best defensive player.

Well, right, now we got up there, more valuable to the Cowboys, ceed Lammer, Michael Parsons. And then we'll also put up would you rather have the best wide receiver or edge rusher? But I think that's gonna be pretty lopsided. You do, I do?

Okay, yeah, I think if you were to say would you rather have the best wide receiver or the best tight end, you might have a different conversation.

Okay, yeah, I think if you were to say would you rather have the best wide receiver or the best tight end, you might have a different conversation.

I'd still rather have the best wide receiver. Like if you said I could have Travis Kelcey or I could have Justin Jefferson. I'm gonna take Justin Jefferson. Now, if you said it's a big game, I've seen Travis Kelcey in a big game.

In the postseason without Rober Grinkowski also different to though Okay, I mean he certainly. I mean it's not the whole span of his career, but things certainly changed when they had dual tight ends that were essentially like unstoppable wide receivers.

But I don't know if you've noticed, but the documentary Steinfeler came out on Netflix today about the Connor Stallions in Michigan debacle. He's come out and pretty much took the Andy Pettit route that he doesn't recall buying any tickets for anybody to go to any other games, and he didn't participate in any in person advanced scouting, which I find quite funny. And what his lawyer's doing is the tack that they're taking is that the evidence of this was gotten illegally because the.

So it could be a pull, a strain, a bruise, a contusion, it could be stress, et cetera, et cetera. But it's not bones or any tears of ligaments. It's more of like a light injury.

I still like the chain guy. I just like when they come out and there's a measurement. I don't want to take out that because there is that anticipation. Now, do I think it's an exact science of where they mark the football? Sometimes No, I don't, but I do like that when you see these guys coming out there, waddling out there, and they bring the chain and then they measure and then all of a sudden, oh they didn't get Oh no, they just extended it.

But I was watching Mike and Toni on.

But I was watching Mike and Toni on.

Part in the interruption yesterday, and if you said Aaron Judge hit sixty three home runs and was in the chase for the Triple Crown, He's not going to win the batting title, at least I don't think he is. But if you said that show Hayotani was going fifty to fifty, or you could have Aaron Judge hit his sixty third home run, I'm going to take show Hayotani. And the reason is I didn't expect these kind of numbers from him, given the fact that he had surgery in the offseason. We knew he wasn't going to pitch, and but we knew he was going to hit. Now we're encouraging more stolen bases, and I'm glad to see that, But if you have somebody go fifty fifty, that's never been done before. Now you can say Aaron Judge getting to sixty three, it's been done before, but it hasn't been done cleanly.

Part in the interruption yesterday, and if you said Aaron Judge hit sixty three home runs and was in the chase for the Triple Crown, He's not going to win the batting title, at least I don't think he is. But if you said that show Hayotani was going fifty to fifty, or you could have Aaron Judge hit his sixty third home run, I'm going to take show Hayotani.

Uh.

Uh.

So I would say, while Judge is impressive, fifty to fifty has never been done before, even if he goes forty five forty five, even just going forty forty is incredible to be able to do that. And plus when you look at how big he is, like, I mean, he's now he's not like Judge, but he's pretty close to it. You know, he's probably what six ' five, and it's he's a big dude. And so he runs extremely well and they've let him run, which I found interesting. I didn't I thought that that might be where Dave Rob says, hey, let's ease up on running, let's just focus on you know, you're at bats. But they've let him go and we've seen what he can do when you go forty forty. So I would say even at forty forty, I might lean towards that that Aaron Judge hitting his sixty third.

But if this was.

But if this was.

If Aaron Judge and sho hey O Tani were both in the American League, you might have co MVPs, right, you might have co MVPs. That doesn't happen very often. Did it happen with Keith Hernandez and Willie Stargeld?

Already still got it? Yep, still got it, Yeah, Pauli.

Aaron Judge was according to the DraftKings was the favorite in the al before the seeds started. You could have got a deal on Otani. He was plus nine to fifty. He was fourth for the MVP because he wasn't pitching he was. He went down a little bit from the previous years.

We got two of them up right now, both of them basically off of CD LAMB. Would you rather have the best wide receiver or the best edge rusher right now. Edge rusher's got seventy percent of that vote. And who's more valuable to the Cowboys, Cede Lamb or Michaeh Parsons. Michaeh Parsons has sixty one percent.

Of that vote. Jeff and Milwaukee, Hi, Jeff, what's on your mind today?

Of that vote. Jeff and Milwaukee, Hi, Jeff, what's on your mind today?

Heay morning? If I have to answer the poll, I'm going to go defense on both of those. But the real answer, I think is either cornerback or offensive line. And he can point to the Packers win over them in the playoffs. Micah did nothing. Steedee Lamb got pushed her ound, pushed her own and did not react to j Alexander. So I'll take the Packers young receiving core and pay for defense.

Okay, that's that's fair.

Okay, that's that's fair.

I mean we actually saw that happen where Micah was neutralized and Jayra Alexander did a wonderful job on Ceedee Lamb.

Yes, I think part of the thing with Ceedee Lamb is and I think that this is important to Dallas specifically, is he's a superstar. He looks like a rock star, he carries himself like a superstar. Everything about him is that that's not really a place where you're like, why don't we go cheap on like a skill position player. We'll just cycle them in and out like Dallas Cowboys. They need stars, they need larger than life personalities, and he is one hundred percent one of them.

It's like the Yankees.

It's like the Yankees.

The Yankees realized that their TV broadcast that it was like a TV show, and they went out and spent money on big names. Maybe not the best names, but they were big names. You were tuning in as if you were watching Friends or Seinfeld. That they treated it that way, that you're going to be able and you're gonna know who those players are. Yeah, Marvin, did.

Well, if you can get both, then yes.

Well, if you can get both, then yes.

But but you know, George Steinbrenner was the first to have the Yes Network. It was a Yankee network and at the time, you're going, what are you going to fill it up with? But you know that's why they wanted you to tune in and was mussy TV and you knew who these players were, so you knew who Jeter was, and Bernie was, Tino Martinez was, Andy Pettitt was. You knew all of these players. Hey, we're going to go out and get Roger Clemens. Hey, we're going to go get whoever Jose Canseco. We're going to get whoever we can get Dwight Gooden. We want to get players that you were going to know who they are. And there's a tune in factor to that. And give Steinbrenner credit that brilliant business decision, I think by all accounts. All right, So one hour in the books, two more to go. We got college football coming up Thursday night. Pretty good slate here. We'll run down the college football Thursday night edition and we'll talk some fantasy football. Matthew Berry will join us, give you some tips on what to do and not to do in your fantasy league. My son bothered me all weekend long. He kept saying, you do this for a living. Can't you help me with my fantasy team? And I said, at what point do you leave the nest. You're thirty two years of age. Stop leaning on me. You're not on scholarship anymore. He had his draft last night. He wants Matthew Berry to grade it for him. These kids, when will they leave
