| 0:00.0 | What I've dedicated my life to is revenge. |
| 0:04.0 | A brand new drama based on the best-selling novel. They think they're better than us. Who do you think you are? I'm going to prove to them that they're wrong. She's punishing me. You destroyed my family. I will not rest until I've destroyed yours. A Woman of Substance on Channel 4 starts tonight at 9. |
| 0:41.3 | Rico Dattle is a Pittsburgh Steeler one year after signing a single season $2.75 million contract, Rico now, Hayden, two years, 12.25. |
| 0:45.5 | Nice little bump for, let's say, a breakout running back last year for the Carolina Panthers. |
| 0:48.5 | Yeah, the last two years, I thought he's played really good football. |
| 0:51.5 | And he's finally got the payday that I think that he's deserved. |
| 0:52.3 | Nothing too crazy. |
| 0:54.5 | It's actually the exact same contract as Tyler Algier, which we qualified as like a low-end starter money. I think this one's a lot more |

| 1:20.3 | Let's talk through Rico Dattle back to back 1,000 yard seasons. |
| 1:23.6 | He now reunites with Mike McCarthy, who was his coach with the Dallas Cowboys. |
| 1:29.4 | Last year, 3.12 yards after contact per carry placed him 12th among all qualified rushers. |
| 1:36.0 | We know sections of the season, he was like the NFL's leading rusher. |
| 1:39.8 | Yeah, he was that span of five, six weeks. |
| 1:42.5 | You rarely see 200 yard rushing performances in the NFL now. |
| 1:45.9 | And he had multiple of them this past season. |
| 1:48.4 | That game against Miami, I thought was something special, the crack tosses, following the pullers. |
| 1:54.8 | I'm going to say he's not necessarily the type that's going to pull away from defenders. |
