| 0:00.0 | We'll take a look at the Jaylen Brown contract, yeah it's huge, but maybe there's a reason |
| 0:16.0 | why we need to look at the contract a little differently. |
| 0:18.4 | We're going to start with Tracy Begrady, awesome stuff here on his run. |
| 0:22.9 | I know the Kobe quotes that were going around, I have a Celtic story that I want to ask |
