It's unfortunate, because oftentimes I'm not full of crap, but I just sound like that.

Exactly.

No, you're not full of crap.

Oh, that's interesting.

Hey, by the way, I heard you guys lead on Nico and the contract and doing Nico next.

And I continue to believe that there is a sweet spot in their relationship that will allow for such things, maybe very, very soon.

Of like that Nico is good enough

but also self-aware enough to realize what his true market is without power, and that the Cubs are motivated enough, and they know they're going to lose some other money.

Ian Happ, I do not believe, is going to be getting an extension.

But Nico Horner should, and I believe will.

I am still positive about this idea and possibility.

Maybe even soon.

Optimistic.

I am optimistic about this possibility.

If we're all going to get the pitchfork out of the garage, we might as well get the... Good coach at Purdue, Manuel Tiller.

Yeah, Manuel Tiller did a great job with Drew Brees.

Enjoy yourself.

It's a big year for a lot of them in that way because it might be true for Nico.
