And you have things being said on the 15th, which was Thursday, like from Ian O'Connor, there is no concerning snag, right?

And then on the 16th, on Friday, you have...

You know, you know, Connor saying that this might go deep into the night or even tomorrow, but things are OK.

Then you have in Rappaport, like you said, saying that it's about the reporting structure and, you know, the structure within the building.

But, you know, the confidence is still kind of there.

But then late at night in O'Connor, apparently, allegedly, we found out only on Saturday that night.

texted John Harbaugh about how confident he was that he was going to become the Giants head coach and got a shrug emoji.

So, I mean, there was clearly a sticking point that he was not willing to bend on.

Like you said, both sides were using their leverage.

But you're right about this being the positive spin, right?

So John Mara, it feels like, and you know,

obviously only having like a weekend to reflect on this while being somewhat nervous about like, if it was really going to go through or not.

Um, I haven't really fully thought this through, but you start thinking about John Mara's legacy and inheriting this team when he did, right.

He inherited a great roster.

Um,

That was already kind of set up for him.

The Giants were not perennial losers when he inherited the roster.

You know, immediately gets like Eli Manning and a good structure.

And you watched from 2004, you know, build up to 2007.

And from there, the roster just sort of slowly degrade.
