Hope everybody had a Merry Christmas. Hope everybody has had a good holiday and a happy New Year. So we'll get, of course, New Year's is still a few days away. And a happy end of the season, finally.

That's what we're at. and a happy new year. So we'll get, of course, New Year's is still a few days away. And a happy

end of the season, finally. That's what we're finally approaching that last week of a brutal

regular season. It has felt like a death march for a long time here, folks, are slog to the finish.

Anyways, so I'm going to get into a AAA review of, I'd say of the game, but it's really of things that happen in the game that, what does it mean going forward? So the game itself, obviously, the score, like the fact that they lost to Dallas, all right, whatever. But what is, what can we take from that game that you can use carrying forward and maybe infers some meaning from whatever? So I'll get into all that. A couple updates here. One update, really, Tyler Biotis, I guess there is no update because we don't know yet the severity of that sprain. He's got a sprained foot, a sprained ankle and sprained knee on his right knee, left the lock room in the walking boot, wrapped, his knee was wrapped. Don't know yet how bad it is.

Certainly does not look good for the season, though, for the season finale, for sure.

So you're most, almost assuredly going to have at least a couple new starters in that line,

or be down a couple of your starters on that line, and we'll see about Laramutonsel.

So not the ideal way of that game, and hopefully for Biotis, it's not a bad injury that could then creep into next year. But we don't know. I'm not going to speculate on what because I don't know at this point. Anyway, then right now, Washington has the seventh pick in the draft. And just one thing to keep in mind that the tiebreaker for the draft picks is always the strength of schedule. So if you have the easier strength of schedule, you get the higher pick based on the thought that, well, if you had an easier schedule and you still only won that many games, you must really be bad. So that's that's a thought behind it. So right now, a seventh pick. And I know, could they get up to the fifth pick?

Yeah, they can get a couple spots higher. But I would say this too. If you can't pick a good player at seven, then you're going to be in trouble, even picking F5. Like every year I hear about this safe player in the draft, and there is no safe play. Those safe players oftentimes don't pan out. But the point is, if you're a good drafting team

and you can't find a guy at seven that's going to help you, shame on you. There are a lot of teams

that are drafted ahead of that, that are ahead of them right now that are perennial top 10 teams
