I mean, another thing in the book.

I mean, I'm standing on the sideline at DKR, the University of Texas Longhorn Football Stadium.

And I'm standing with Emmanuel Acho.

Do you know Emmanuel?

No.

Yeah, he's great.

He played for the Longhorns.

He played for the NFL.

Now he's a writer.

So I'm standing there and we're watching the game.

And I look at him, I go, how would you define pocket presence?

And pocket presence is an American football term.

So do you know American football?

Okay.

So I'm a quarterback.

I'm going to get the ball, and I have to throw the ball or run the ball or hand off the ball to get the ball down the pitch, down the field, right?

And when the ball is snapped and the ball is put into motion, there's about 1,200 to 1,400 pounds of really angry people trying to drive me into the ground.

The people that are protecting me from those defensive guys are called my offensive line.

And the way they do it is they form a pocket around the quarterback.

And the quarterback uses that time to decide, where am I going to throw the ball?
