Hello, I'm Matt Williamson. What's going on?

0:08.9

I'm recording this Labor Day, just kind of chilling here about the Moulon, maybe grill, typical Labor Day stuff, but nothing crazy.

0:16.1

More than anything, though, I am gearing up for the season, to be honest with you.

0:19.6

I've done a lot of work today.

0:21.1

I was very, very happy to see Warren get a two-year extension this morning. And I'm going to take a second.

1:29.6

it does the Cam Hayward or Aaron Rogers. You know what I mean? Like he hasn't made

in the bank, comparatively speaking, you know? So this seems like a bargain move all along. And I don't

1:39.5

think it's an indication that they think Johnson stinks or anything like that. I think you want this guy around

1:46.0

for two more years. And maybe Johnson or someone else goes past him and is the big guy and he goes
