- 53:26think
- 53:27part
- 53:27of
- 53:27it
- 53:27is
- 53:28when
- 53:28guys
- 53:28have
- 53:29a
- 53:29nagging
- 53:29injury
- 53:30now,
- 53:30they
- 53:30go
- 53:30see
- 53:31someone
- 53:31and
- 53:32you
- 53:32could
- 53:32find
- 53:32something.
- 53:32Yeah.
- 53:33You

- 53:33you
- 53:33can

- 53:34and
- 53:34say
- 53:34it
- 53:34was
- 53:35a
- 53:35pole
- 53:35here
- 53:35or
- 53:36a
- 53:36lat
- 53:36there
- 53:37or
- 53:37whatever
- 53:37it
- 53:37might
- 53:37be.
- 53:38Whereas
- 53:38years
- 53:38ago
- 53:39they
- 53:39would
- 53:39just
- 53:39say,
- 53:40ah,
- 53:40there's
- 53:40nothing
- 53:40broken.
- 53:40Yeah.
- 53:41And
- 53:41the
- 53:41guy
- 53:41would
- 53:41go
- 53:41back
- 53:42out
- 53:42there.
- 53:42So
- 53:43I
- 53:43don't
- 53:43think
- 53:43there
- 53:43was
- 53:44as
- 53:44much
- 53:44of
- 53:45the,
- 53:45hey,
- 53:46let's
- 53:46observe
- 53:47and
- 53:47figure
- 53:47out
- 53:48what
- 53:48this
- 53:48is.
- 53:48Unless
- 53:49the
- 53:49person,
- 53:50something
- 53:50was
- 53:50hanging
- 53:50out,
- 53:51you
- 53:51know,
- 53:51I
- 53:51think
- 53:51they
- 53:52played
- 53:52through
- 53:52a
- 53:53lot
- 53:53more
- 53:53and
- 53:54maybe
- 53:54they
- 53:54would
- 53:54just
- 53:54get
- 53:54an
- 53:54injection
- 53:55and
- 53:55just
- 53:56kind
- 53:56of
- 53:56play
- 53:56through
- 53:56it.
- 53:56If
- 53:56those
- 53:57guys
- 53:57didn't
- 53:57get
- 53:58injections,
- 53:58then
- 53:58something
- 53:58was
- 53:59wrong.
- 53:59So
- 53:59I
- 54:00think,
- 54:00yeah,
- 54:00there's
- 54:00probably
- 54:01more
- 54:02things
- 54:02now
- 54:02that
- 54:02we
- 54:02know
- 54:03about
- 54:03that
- 54:03can
- 54:03break
- 54:03down
- 54:04than
- 54:04there
- 54:04was
- 54:05maybe
- 54:0530
- 54:05years
- 54:05ago.
- 54:06And
- 54:06it
- 54:06probably
- 54:07makes
- 54:07sense
- 54:08too,
- 54:08that
- 54:08you're
- 54:08talking

- 54:10of
- 54:1050
- 54:10million
- 54:11a
