I'm not surprised because he is a great talent, and he still is one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the league physically. The question is what comes along with him off the field and being a 42-year-old in a locker room that you don't really feel like you need to be subjected to everything every player is subjected to. How does that play? Hogg, let me ask you a question.

By the time I retired, when I got plus 30, I hung out more with the coaches than I did the players. Just because I'm married with kids. You got 21-year-olds coming in here with music. I don't know. I was very much the old guy. That's how me and Joe Thomas became friends because he's an offensive lineman. I'm a wide out. But we're both old as hell.

I'm the secret sauce. Are you actually going to come out against the UFL? No, I love the UFL. The UFL is great. I just take issue with you pointing to me. about a league I did not play in.

I love it. My question, and this is very โ I don't even want to qualify. But, okay, so the players that are fighting for โ the money and all the things, it feels a little premature. What is? Like the, I don't know what the UFL makes. I don't know what those TV contracts look like. I don't know what the CBS, I'm coming in this unchecked. That's how we like it. That's how we like it here, right?

So that's not...
