| 0:37.3 | own personality. Having a player that I, and this is my, you know, just own personality, having |
| 0:39.0 | a player that I, that gets scapegoated over the years, that that is the feeling that I have, |
| 0:44.6 | and I always will rush to defend them. |
| 0:48.2 | And that often gets in the way of me actually sharing my opinion on that player of what |
