Good Thursday to you all.

0:10.5

Welcome to Football W.

0:11.8

He is Jeff Kazoof.

0:12.7

She is Ali Krieger, two-time World Cup Champion.

0:15.8

I was asking you, should I say that every time?

0:17.5

I think it is worth to say it every time.

0:20.5

It doesn't get old for me, okay? You can always

0:22.3

use the reminder, Alec. This isn't a reminder, but it's an invitation for you all to stick

0:28.0

around because we have Alex Morgan in a trip down memory lane. We were there last week. I mean,

0:34.7

I'm still recovering from the sun from it. It was such a great time,

0:38.7

by the way. Also, we have a very interesting conversation. Allie is speaking to Sam Stavb and

0:46.3

Chicago's moment. And what a moment they're having. But speaking of moments, we've seen several

transaction on that page there happened this year. So I mean, that just speaks to how things

1:42.3

have escalated from even a year ago when the record was broken. We've seen it broken and broken and broken. So I think it speaks to where things are going. I think to your point, a lot of people were surprised by the figure for Jaden Shaw. But I think it's a little bit of like Gotham knows that yesterday's price is not today's and tomorrow's is going to be a lot more. And that applies to any player anywhere, I think, right now. So I think that's what we're seeing is it's a little bit of the Wild Wild West of what's a player cost as far as a fee. What are you willing to pay a player?
