Yes, everything's working. Don't turn it off again. What the hell was that? Oh, look at that. Freeze that one. Freeze that news tomorrow. Oh, look at it. I'd love to know what prompted that look on his face. Oh, that's great. Make that the background for the top 40.

0:24.4

Gosh.

0:28.5

There it is.

0:29.3

Top 40 quarterback countdown, the new background, the very surprised Chris Sims look as he worked

0:34.3

his way through technical difficulties yesterday.

0:37.3

I'm just glad today. I don't want to jinx it. We only have a half hour left because the Royal Ascotts coming up at 8.30 a.m. Eastern here on NBCSN. I don't want to jinx it. But today, so far, so good. Technological issues resolved, Chris. We're all good so far. We are. And I don't know. There was a, We don't know what went on. We figured it out yesterday after the show. We got it all good now. And I got to give major props to the guy that designs that graphic and has all these silly pictures, E.J. Gentile. I mean, every day. What a jerk.

Look, my concern last year with Ben Rothenberger was that the elbow was the first of what

2:05.5

Well, yeah, I hear you.

2:23.8

It's worrisome.

2:25.1

And, you know, compared to some of the other quarterbacks who have played in the 40s,
