Friday, we need it. Thank goodness. Every Friday I say something like that and every Friday I mean it. This week has tested me the amount of things that were on my to-do list come Thursday actually felt criminal. It felt criminal. I have had a crazy week.

On Monday, we had a photo shoot with the entire squad of the I Heart Woman Sports Network,

0:47.8

which was so fun to meet and hang with the ladies in person. Monday night was the draft, which A. Z. Fudd, that is all I will say

0:57.9

about that. Tuesday was the woman in sports business summit put on by Deep Blue, and that was really
