00:00My neighbor, Mark, texted me and told me. That's how I found out. And yeah, I was very surprised.

00:06I would definitely say that everybody was pretty surprised, at least from who I've spoken with,

00:10so yeah. Tons of players that have gotten cut over my time that, you know, they're handed a trash bag

00:18and before you get out of your meeting, you show up and their locker's empty. And so it's a unique

00:23business in that way. You know, I had a chance to talk with Coach Sala last night and just

00:29check on him, see how he's doing. Shoot, you know, I remember getting cut here three years ago after

00:35having a really nice stint and it didn't work out for me. So I've been there, I know what it feels

00:40like and that was really a devastating thing for me. So we kind of talked about that and, you know,

00:48it's just a tough thing. It's a reminder that this business, it's about, we're in the business
