Do we really need these kinds of press conferences?

Do we expect them to say anything other than:

-Really excited about the opportunity.

-Great fit, enjoyed the process

-Became really knowledgable about the team, and the needs

-Got a plan, don’t want to discuss it publicly

-Keeping our guys who are good is a priority goal

Took the 'G' out your waffle, all you got left is your Ego.
