It was a big part of that.

There are some things that they can take bows for as well, and they are hugely important voices in this organization.

So I don't think we're in the era anymore where you don't want to hear from the owner of the team, where you don't want to hear from the person.

There was a time when that existed.

That time is not now.

I think we're all very anxious to hear from them and not just to hit them with the hard questions.

There's layups everywhere.

There's there's puff questions to be asking these guys, including how happy are you that your team won a playoff game for the first time since 2011?

Yeah, one more thing about it, Layla.

I will say this since I'm just speculating here a lot.

It's not out of the question that George would still speak.

I don't think there's nothing that we've been tipped off to.

Nobody has said anything to me like, yeah, he might still.

But who knows?

Maybe there and maybe even in the first when we reassemble for the first OTA or whatever the next event is, the Ed Block Courage Award, things like that.

Or maybe that was way earlier in the season.

I'm getting my dates all messed up.

But you know what I mean?

The next opportunity that we assemble here, maybe they're waiting until then to speak.

But yeah, I think that considering the direction the franchise is going in, it would be pertinent to speak to those guys.
