I'm not out for blood, trust me. I am out for accountability and learning. And too many defenders want to say 'everything is fine' while we lose even more ground. We need to have an autopsy of how this went wrong and correct those mistakes for 2026.

And that's where you and I disagree. This isn't sports. This isn't gambling. This is contract negotiations. They had an unlimited supply of paper to account for all contingencies. They had the ability to lock it down, or hold out until they could. But the NC felt rushed to close the deal. If it was recession fears that forced their hands, then that is an unfortunate mistake that cost us all a lot of money.
