Thank you. Yeah, it was hard. And you guys are, you know, you knew what was going on with me on the mental side of it. It was hard to say, I love my job. I love ESPN. I was having success there. But I felt like I needed to go somewhere else. to challenge myself. And this job is so much harder than what I was doing on TV. It's not even close.

Like to have to write what you know and the written word compared to what you can say in TV, I just feel like it lasts forever. And once you collect that information and you put your name on it and it never goes away, one, I'm proud of it, but it's definitely challenging me. I'm getting exactly what I wanted. I can tell you that.

That is so funny that you say that. Very smart. You think I planned it that way. I did not. Okay. So I was doing it on Sunday and you know, it wasn't really getting much traction because Adam and Ian, you know, they're so great at what they do and they were putting out news and I was putting out the same stuff. So it was like, why are people going to read my column if they've already seen it on TV?

Um, Um, so I was trying to, when we can just get ahead of stuff because I wanted to go to an actual game on Sunday. So I was like, you know, why don't we just publish this on Saturday? I just threw it out there thinking it wouldn't really result in anything. And it was the best decision I made because I got ahead of the news cycle.

Whereas like Saturday can put out all the stuff about the games and, and obviously people want to, want to hear it and read it.

Yeah. I write it like midnight sometimes. That sucks. No. So no, my Friday nights are horrendous. I remember you used to write a column.
