And our conversations -- both of us to recognize. There are circumstances make it best for us to take this next.

Jim and I've always been close we've met a lot of great memories together. He's always been good to me in -- altered forever grateful. This terrible. And his team means so much for me.

Good luck involved for all of we've really had great conversations. We enjoy -- down memory lane together. About some of the great moments we've had here you're not fourteen years. That's true that's been about me this -- is that a reflection. So many great memories how great life. Jim -- team. Just how awesome experience there's so. We've covered all sorts of scenarios. Like these. These circumstances throughout the way. -- -- -- -- wish they were put that's the reality I've kind of got points.

You know for the -- -- -- this come -- partner to work for me so you should know that -- yeah. -- -- It's not a cut of the money was never a factor. Industry. What -- did it also came down -- the plane ran out of gas last night to we're because we had to land you know I I think it's. You know we we knew. That there was a -- here. In the same time. All the scenarios we talk through. You know like I said -- on selflessly. -- the interest in the franchise. Right. Advise them. In terms of what's in his best interest as well. You know like -- these circumstances. Are something that you know neither one of us could imagine -- a couple of years ago we -- slip by. I I just think that that. As a franchise where we are right now with the salary cap. Where we are we. Rebuilding were were were definitely a few years away. You know. You know I wanna see him come back and played great there's no question about it. It's just here you know I'm just like in 2001 when he was completely. Healthy and and everything else we didn't have that everything is around him you know. You know -- that opportunity. As well. You know -- suspect succeeded in his career. Home. Yeah this is.

Balance those emotions all of its its root. A similar boat so. It's been very -- -- -- we -- -- better perspective -- all of us. We do need to remember. Our ball perfectly movies. Tornado victims. In -- tennis careers -- very much you can expect. There's certainly been. Been emotional it is what have you. -- -- It's very rare these days. Are a little -- I'll probably best finish a war these these next steps are. The next thing. You pick it up and do next is to say thank you. Right over it people. Took a big impact on my here -- colts. Provision. -- -- person conversation there. Substantial replied yeah details. And our -- that's what they've done for me but. I got I got a chance to visit but I think that's what's important issues and here. For a number of years I love being here. If my team you know 84 but it's important to -- and I didn't bring in thirteen editor from the from the beginning. My careers or changed music thank you. There especially when there's times about his. -- -- When you. -- -- -- Well all vehicles. Always -- -- as. Certainly.

Jim bill kind of putting in place and what we -- -- -- -- has been fun and you guys asked me a lot of analog and reflect. I have flexible. Or that -- W we've had since leaving Britons and a good relationships with coaches and teammates at its worst fears. It is. Appreciation. It's. -- Work group that's progress made. Humble way really work -- Again. David out I'll put him. If you work hard I really enjoy -- back out there had a chance to throw with the so hello teammates definitely if you're playing Dallas or Austin. So these Saturdays. Definite public that's that's the most important to him back out there on the field in the training room all all that kind of you sort of held off limits of fields -- kind of be there to get back out there for all usher him into it do a better. Continue to work -- in hopefully keep it prosecuted. And -- -- -- -- You know you have to mama. Or have a hard time doing. At times but. What is your beautiful bubble it was countless holes beard -- back out there. Not been at -- field. September October river once. First. Beautiful source might have had that freedom and work -- personal stories helps it -- work to do we'll look forward to doing them. And I -- For me music is what -- made progress. -- -- Plus or question children. Well -- And -- this is your relationship business. Coaches teammates support staff. Full service. What are your greatest -- guys -- reports. You. Think about those type of relationships. Members are always on the field. And for the touchdown throat when machines it's just behind the scenes the last storage which -- -- together those memories. What be me for the rest mom lives of so many -- -- that war. There's no. Under torture her question. Revisions by Canada the circumstances was the third. In the fall -- us all the time it was a it was his decision we'll sponsors or parents. That sole existence. Sorry to do. Just the way it worked out pretty. For the really enjoy baseball player will do it as labs Britain. You're well relationship forever. Maybe that's okay I know I wasn't working more than colts fans were quite a bit tired and cold. If you consider that. You're not that you don't -- -- them through. All the time. A lot of other jobs. A level playing sports or about one. Obstacles you'll look. -- if there is no authority for war played this is. Nobody is. Much better than I have -- capital report. These -- -- right well. Portrait of dude you played here. You still. -- look -- movement that yeah there's civil war and. Well I I think Mike that. It's it's always -- difficult processes. Play. That I. That there here and a half ago. And said. You know we we really want we do we're looking forward to rebuild. It didn't work that way I think that. You know with the injuries and erosion of time on the roster and and different things the circumstances. That that dictated and I think people. Lose track of the salary cap and we're really at their images to sign their draft picks you know we're gonna have to make more roster. You know and and so it's it's. It's something where you know that's kind of talk for a later -- might obviously the it's something where you know -- to duplicate what we done. And in the last twelve plus years. That that's very very difficult to do I mean you know how hard it is -- and I've talked about it and we all have through the years how hard it is to win this week. And so it's going to be a process for us and -- You know hopefully. We'll watch Peyton you know win immediately and head that will continue just to slowly build and fighters drive I think that's. You know there's page tonight talk. You know those. The hope and plan was that it was just slow continuity that. You know that you would slowly go into it and and -- there would be such jagged edges to. All of a sudden rebuilding viewed upon you but it's -- itself. -- and it's. You know it's something that's you know was -- challenge no I mean both -- I've talked were always up for challenges and I know he's up. For the challenge and and and going forward from here and if anyone can do it he can and at the same time you were up for the challenge but. But vote we're before we're a ways away I mean in in 98 he had more pieces in place you know -- Would chart a map Adam meadows Marcus Pollard and filtered to politics players Marshall Faulk. Barbara here's and so. It's a challenge. Wolf we'll continue to work. You know as we go through each day. It's.
