Hello, hello, hello. I am Matt Williamson. It's exactly the middle of the week. It's noon here Eastern on Wednesday, Super Bowl week. We're not going to talk to a role. Tomorrow will be Twitter Thursday. Friday will be Super Bowl preview. Usually we have Mike Renner from Pro Football Focus on today. He was driving at the time, so I let him off the hook.
