Say good morning to John Kime, ESPN's commander's reporter.

John, Merry Christmas. How are you?

J.K.

Hey, Christmas, guys. How are you guys? J.K., are you doing your Christmas celebration with your family today? No, we kind of have an abbreviate. We had a bit of a makeshift when we had to do it. Christmas Eve night, I had one son who could only be in town until about 5.30 last night, and he couldn't get until Christmas Eve. So it was a pretty

quick abbreviated one. So we kind of mixed it up a little bit Christmas Eve and a little bit

No. Talk about Johnson and the fact that he was tabbed to get the start over Jeff Driscoll,

who was brought in late last week.

Well, I mean, they chose Johnson over Driscoll long ago because remember, like,

So like they, and these guys had signed Josh already.
