Ben Standing is with us like he is every Friday and Monday at 12 noon, sometimes in between.

He is reachable on X at Ben Standig and he of course writes prolifically on his substack called Last Man

Standig.

So let's just get the Brandon Ayuk stuff out of the way because it is getting to be a little

bit nauseating although I don't think in the same way that the Terry conversation did, because this is a big mystery, and it's a potential game changer if they actually got the guy from three years ago.

But I just played a soundbite from a sports talk show host from San Francisco that appeared with Grant and Danny yesterday saying that his agent has left him.

I know you know a lot of people in that agency, you know, with Moologeta, etc.

Have you heard the same thing?

Is he AWOL right now where people are leaving him left and right?

So I wrote in the story I had this week, sort of a post-draft notebook and focused on Iuk.

And I said in there that I had one GM tell me that far as he knows, like nobody's been able to talk to him,

and that includes the agents.

I try to reach out to the agent, did not hear back.

Now, I've not seen that the agent moved on from Ayyuk,

but that would be hardly surprising if, you know, obviously,

if you can't talk to your client, if he's not willing to, you know, play

a ball, not to mention, as much as we've said, it's an insane look that, Brandon, I blew up a four-year

$120 million deal. Well, if you're the agent, that's, you know, that's not going to fly. So I can

totally imagine that happening. So, yeah, I will look into that after we get off to see if I can tell that's actually

accurate, but I presume it is.

Do you think there's a cutoff date for Adam Peters and company to say if it happens by this date,

we'll move forward with it or will proceed with the possibility
