I told you the other day, I'm going to have a report. We're not a report and analysis of the Terry McLaren situation. That'll be up on ESPN.com on Wednesday. Why are we in this spot? Why can't they get something done? Well, it's because both sides see several main points very different. It's why I've always felt this would be a tricky negotiation and why, I kind of laugh when people thought like, oh, it's going to get done in the first day camp. No, it never was going to be there. This is always going to be tricking and until they see things a little bit more similar, it's going to be tough.

Anyways, and the question is, does he play under the old, under his last year of his deal, or does he play under an extension? Because at some point, he's got to play. Otherwise, you lose money. And you also don't want to be going into a free agency a year coming off, not playing a lot because you were holding out or

whatever, and it's not going to help your value. It's going to hurt it. So anyways, but that's

going to be up on ESPN.com on Wednesday. Also, don't forget, the John Com Report is presented

by AAA. So let's get today's practice report. Not much of a practice report, but there are things

to discuss. I think some things are kind of interesting, especially one of the things Dan Quint

talked about is having a Burgundy and gold scrimmage on Tuesday. So that's today, that's why

today was this more or less a jog through. They kind of divided the teams. They have both teams

are going to be coached by players and, you know,

different play callers. So, and I'll get to some of this in a minute, but that's going to be taking place on Tuesday. They have a 9 a.m. practice. So check back. That'll be an interesting one to wrap up for sure because it's really a lot like a joint practice, but just an inter squad, joint, joint practice. How is that? And the other thing is, it's not really burgundy and gold. It's

burgundy and white because one team's in burgundy and one team's in white. But, you know, you got the, you got the point. And I'm going to talk about that in a minute. Let's get some injury updates first. There are many tons of left practice a little bit early on Sunday. I'm forgetting what date is. Lefted a little bit early on Sunday.

I'm forgetting what day it is.

Left a little bit early on Sunday.

Didn't know why.

It turned out there was like some minor tweak, but he was back on the field today.
