Got the extension, got out on the practice field.

I am drinking in every bit of like Terry content that this social team has just been desperately waiting to post.

Just wait.

It's a Kevin Sheehan show with Denton Day sitting in for Kevin here on the team 980. You can tweet me at the Denton Day. So I did, I ran some numbers, Max. I was curious about
