cover games hard level speak until
We're going to cover it, definitely. What we take from it, I don't know, because it's hard to speak to something that never has been done before. It's hard to say until we see the level of competition, but if there are games being played, we're going to cover them.

I respect the heck out of Kenny because he swings for the fences. He will do whatever it takes to help his team win, except cheat.
