| 0:03.9 | I don't care what you think. |
| 0:05.4 | I'll tell you something that rubbed me right. |

| 0:10.4 | On the scouting world and scouting departments in general, |
| 0:15.3 | in the lifeblood per se that they are when it comes to building a franchise. Do you want to just touch on that a little |
