00:00A lot of these agents nowadays want the attention, which is why you'll see Ian Rappaport or Schefter
00:09or Shams be like, this contract was negotiated by agent Tom Smith.
00:15And it's like, who cares?
00:16Like, I don't know who Matt Stafford's agent is, or do I care?
00:22How it gets ironed out.
00:24They usually don't have negative things leak out about their organization.
00:28And to me, that's a very healthy sign that everybody's on the same page.
00:33Stetson Bennett being the number one, like we know nothing.
00:36Correct.
00:37And that dude disappeared.
00:38Yes.
00:39This is a national champion.
00:40Two times.
00:41Like two times.
00:43And we know nothing.
00:44We know nothing.
00:45Right.
00:46And so to me, that's a great sign that that organization is buttoned up.
00:50And if they didn't want things to get out, they don't get out.
00:53And so if they don't want this contract talked about, whether because they gave Stafford
00:57so much money or he cut them a deal and they just don't want people to know, it works.
