All right, big day.

Framber Valdez.

I think it's more important.

It doesn't even matter who the hell they signed.

Those are natural fan reactions.

I'm just, I'm done with it.

And now, because you went out and look, you defied a lot of the reports.

If this was truly done independent of the scuba arbitration, you defied the reporting from the best in the
