All right, Odyssey.com, rewind. You missed anything. We've done a ton with this Lions and the Eagles calling on Parsons and how it makes you feel about the Eagles approach versus yours. We can get back into it later. I wanted to ask a different question because I feel like I'm going to be old man yelling at clouds. Yet the early returns on this are a lot of people agree with my stance on this.

Now, I am no fan of Scott Hanson. I think he's a complete phony. I don't like his work. I don't like him. I don't know him personally. I just don't like what I see on TV. We're in a situation.

And it was seven hours a commercial free.

1:46.5

It's not going to be that anymore.

1:48.5

Scott Hansen has already said he doesn't make decisions.

1:51.4

Duh.

1:52.4

He's a puppet.

1:53.6

But second of all, this thing has now been violated.

1:59.5

Because it's one thing if you're going to put a logo on the screen.
