Felgar and Mass 985, the Sports came here to help you, I'm sorry, John, thank you. Don't need it. Felger in Mass, 985, the Sports Hub. Yeah, for me, you know, when we were having our meeting with Alex, I really, at that point, was trying to stay in the moment. And as we were headed to the meeting, I was really telling myself, you need to make sure you get every question

0:39.0

answer that's on your mind, that you ask everything you need to ask. Again, not just for determining

0:43.9

his fit as a manager, but also because this is a big deal what happened. And it was, you know,

0:48.7

event that it took its toll on all of us. Obviously, Alex has described that with respect

What about the people that work with him and say, you stuck us in the middle of this thing,

1:37.9

the ones who didn't know about it, and Bloom wasn't here.

1:41.4

So Bloom can at least look at it or pretend to say, hey, look, you know, and again,

1:46.9

I think the whole thing of Corr coming and going was a sham. But at least he put it out there,

1:52.8

like, no, you kind of left, you put everyone here in a tough spot. And then you weren't here
