You know, Spencer Jones did get a concussion.

0:01.9

He's been out now for a week, I think, tomorrow, a week.

0:05.5

About a week.

0:06.6

About a week.

0:07.7

And, you know, they haven't signed him yet to the deal.

0:11.1

And we all just kind of assumed, well, it's the concussion.

0:13.1

Well, hold on.

0:13.7

Let's play a couple clips of David Adam.

0:15.6

And the first one is from our friends over at Altitude Radio this morning.

0:35.6

1:37.1

walk it back. He just tried to walk around it if we can't play that audio. But here's what I think.

1:44.3

It's possible and it would stand to logic to me
