I didn't do shit, by the way. I just screenshot an article and sent it out. But that's... There's a larger conversation today about, like, the role we have in terms of, like, we are now the pipes, right? Especially as... Correct.

It really felt like this story had not gotten a lot of exposure, and that's the only reason... that I focused on it.

And now back to sports. Although this is a big story that's a little bit bigger than sports. It cuts to some, I think, social and cultural questions. So I was in the Indianapolis Combine last week, and... something that happens a lot coming out of the combine is gossip, right?

Gossip, tea, reports, anonymous sources talking about how certain players, high-profile players, perform in these interviews. Because this is the function of the combine, the primary function.
