Very bright, hardworking, and I think we've just always been connected since then.

All right, here we go.

Thank you, Art.

I think I thought at least be able to get started.

You know, oftentimes, coaches and players, you know, you put on new team colors, and it takes a minute to feel comfortable in those new colors.

But to be blessed beyond any measure, one day to put on the colors you wore since you brought home.

I apologize.

Right, I told you not to sit my family down here in front.

This is so unfair when you come home from Mercy Hospital.

That's nice the way he asked that, right?

That was slick.

But, I mean, definitely.

I mean, I don't see why you wouldn't.

But, you know, I think just like anything, you know, knowing Aaron long enough going through seasons, you know, I think when players, you know, to see Mel Blunt here, I mean, when guys –

or up at that stage of their career, they need to step away and decompress.

I think that's very important.

The game is so emotional, you know, what these men commit to and what they put into it.

I think that time away is important.

And I have spoken to Aaron, and so that's really where we are there.

But I was able to sit back and watch the games.
