And again, the conversation with Bruce got a little off the rails there, but it's like, reminder, it's a football game. Like to me, it's not that real. But if that's what you think about me, I don't know why you listen. Honestly, David, go ahead. We love

Jamir. I honestly think he's the best running back in the league, but he's not one of us.

Blue and Silver? Does he put his body on the line for this city every week?
