So hopefully enough of them will be televised that we can start hooking up some basketball into our veins here.

Yeah. So we're going to talk about in a moment here, the delete eight. We'll talk about each of them for eight minutes.

But just in general, we haven't talked

is just that there hasn't been a failure yet.

I mean, this was the key week, right? This was when if people brought in cases with them,

they could have expanded to other players and their teams. And it hasn't seemed like knock on wood

that that's happened yet. And each day that it doesn't happen diminishes the possibility

that it could happen.

Yeah, we haven't had any releases from the NBA, I think in about a week or so now of saying,
