All right. Let's welcome back to the show, Nikki Javala.

Nikki is with The Athletic now.

She moved from the post to The Athletic a few weeks ago.

I'm a subscriber to the athletic.

I would urge you to do the same where you can read Nikki's coverage of the team.

You can follow Nikki on X on Twitter at Nikki, J-H-A-B-V-A-L-A.
