What is the significance of Stephen A. Smith's contract?
Well, then you start getting a little shinier because you're talking. That's actually good work there.
Crack staff. I'm actually sweating right now because it is hot. You can use a little power. I'm used to a little colder weather, like when you play in the atmosphere of somewhere like Toledo and you've got 28,000 screaming fans, right? That's a tough environment for anybody, SEC or not.
The thing that just happened with Mike Ryan and Jessica, I'd like to put a final bow on all of this because I would say I was startled this week and delighted that our little show just got grabbed. By college football argument talk where Jessica wants to talk on days she's not here and Jeremy wants to talk on days he's not here.
And Mike wants to talk on the day he missed, even though he monopolized the three days before that, that he was here. And then he gets back here and he says something and then he says it to me and then by 50. And he looks at me and then he says, that's a bar. Because he wanted to end the note on a bar.
Left you speechless. Left you all speechless. Run the tape. I was like, I guess we're going to break now because I killed it so goddamn good. Not 30. Maybe Stephen A is only 50 times better than me.
That was a damn good delivery. I could not stun on that. 50.
Can I get, though, one final – I don't want a closing argument. I just want to send – I want Jessica and Mike to go bar for unsaid bar. You want more. No, just I want to finish the subject for the week.
I rest my case after I left you speechless.
Okay. Gavel. Jessica, any further thoughts on this? That was his closing argument. Any further thoughts on college football argument? I know I'm getting you after the martinis and the hangover.
