Draft season is here. I cannot wait. Um, I've had some opportunities to trade some picks and I've I've not done it simply because I don't want to take away some of my draft day fun.
Understandable. And one thing you've always said is that your draft picks Can't get injured. No. So if you trade some draft picks for keepers. Their groins are fine. Right.
Yeah. I um much like J.K. Dobbins, everything is fine.
Yeah, can't get hurt. No. If you trade for him, you're fine. No, I is it was like yesterday, I think Jason and I were talking a little it was a bigger deal as some Hampton and Jacobs and other pieces, and I passed on it. And then the next morning you get the news that like Puka Nakua and Jacobs could still face discipline. Mm-hmm. And I was just thinking about my discipline where my hit uh where my head space would have been.

Describe yourself or one of the other ballers. Um, who's the who's the biggest trash talker when things are going right among the three of Jason?
I don't know that i do you think I think I'm the biggest complainer
when people have a lot of you are the whiniest babies for sure. Yeah. That's not trash talking. You trash talk yourself. I think I think all I think I think
my usual go to when it c I mean it's not trash talk, but it's the same spirit of what you're talking about is the early congratulations, the building you up, the setting you you know, it's it's like telling someone how well they're playing at golf to try to throw them off their game.
