I just learned this.

Apparently, I don't have the internet.

This morning when I walked in, there were no masks. I saw people's faces. I just learned this. Apparently, I don't have the internet. This morning when I walked in.

There were no masks. I saw people's faces. It was a glorious time, the beautiful people of Fox Sports.

I could see them and identify them. It was wonderful. I was, and I was not on the internet.

For 48 hours, I was doing my own thing.

Something's weird. Listen can see the waitress. I can see the way just his face. It took me a second to figure out what was going on. But yes, it's very nice. It's positive. Like, we're making jokes. But it is a good thing overall that we are moving in this direction. So we're grateful. So let's start with this. I have been on Kyler Murray's side. He's the quarterback, the diminutive quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. Three years in the league he's gotten better each year. I'm on his side. I think he's a special player. His personality is a little off-putting for me, but whatever. Aaron Rogers drives me nuts. Baker can drive me nuts. Whatever. I don't have to love all these guys. I was never into Cam's personality or Jay Cutlers. Whatever. If a guy can play, can play. I've been a Kyler guy. But I got to tell you, in my life, I've had four agents. And I bailed on a bunch of agents. Because as my late mother once told me, they're going to be representing you in rooms you won't be in.

Choose carefully. Eric Burckhart is the agent. I don't know him. I know some NFL agents. I don't know him. Of Kyler Murray, big misstep. This is bad. He also represented Johnny Mansell. And for those who remember, I was not a Mansell fan. I didn't like his personality. I thought some of his actions were startling and weird.

It turned out he had, sadly, an addiction issue.

Kyler Murray's a really talented guy. I think his agent underserved him badly. They released

something that looked like a menu, way too many words, completely transparent.

It makes it look like Kyler Murray's completely into it for money.

He's being paid $5.5 million this year.
