So for those of you that don't keep up with football, let me just explain in a nutshell.
About two years ago, our GM, our high-flying GM of the Atlanta Falcons, which is owned by Arthur Blank, the multi-billionaire that is a... Started Home Depot.
And I think he's still a major shareholder in Home Depot.
He bought the professional soccer team.
He's part of the group that owns the Hawks, and he's a very invested owner.
He's got his hands in everything.
And then he hired this GM that some people like and some people don't like, the general manager.
Some people like him, some people don't.
But two years ago during the draft...
About three days before the draft, if I'm not mistaken, the Falcons, in desperate need of a new quarterback, after years of Matt Ryan taking us once to the Super Bowl and then not doing much of anything in the playoffs, decided that he needed a strong veteran quarterback to lead the team into the new era.
They got a new head coach.
And the tides were changing.
And so they went out and they hired Kirk Cousins, who had been is kind of a journeyman.
