And I thought of it from when the NFL, when they tell people, I'm now going to attempt an onside kick.

And you tell the other team, oh, you're onside kicking.

Okay, we'll get our guys out.

But you have to announce it ahead of time.

What would happen if teams just basically announced we're tanking?

And you could decide at any point of the season, they put out basically like best odds for the number one pick, this tanking group.

But you have to tell us that you're tanking and you're throwing away.

And then everybody who has tickets for your games, now it's 50% off.

But basically, if they announce it, and either you announce it or you don't, if you don't announce it and then you try to tank, you don't get to be in that group because you're one chance to stop.

So in November, it would be like six teams have announced they're already tanking.

And they're just in that group.

And then they could try.

You could play guys.

You could try to beat teams.

And it wouldn't matter because you're in that thing anyway.

I'm saying like, you know, November that Washington doesn't care.

Right.

We knew you knew that in October that Washington didn't care.

No, they were rationally motivated.

All right.
