I'm great, Aidan.

How are you doing?

I'm great, as I said to you just a moment ago before we came on.

I was excited last night, not to interrupt, but you were at the game, so you mightn't have seen.

We did a really fun thing with a horse race call by Dave Johnson, Jack Michael's hero, calling the Preakness in 1989.

I couldn't run the whole horse race.

But I wish we could have because mid-race, Dave Johnson has to sort of sort out the horses where they are on the backstretch.

And it's absolutely magical.

And it reminded me of some of Jack's best moments come when there's a Pier 6 brawl and he can figure out who's fighting who or whom.

Well, several things.

I was concerned about the special teams, of course, but that's, as Connor said after the game, maybe the fact that Hyman and Leon missed the last stretch of the regular season accounts for their timing being just a smidge off.

The thing that caught me, two things.

Obviously, the whole...

You know, as much as you can say, Connor should be fine.

He looked, he had a little fright in his eyes to my way of seeing things.

And I know how much he went through when he was young in 2019.

The whole documentary, whatever it takes, was based on.

How he decided to approach his injured knee and he went to Colorado and they said have an operation and he went to Los Angeles and they said don't.

And he had to do several things.

He got Mark Lindsay, a therapist involved and Tracy Wilson, a figure skater and all kinds of lengths to, as he said, I was 22 years old and the next 20 years of my life is sort of hanging on this decision.
