It took 12 minutes?
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

My guy, this is the 5k indoor record.

However, the indoor mile record was broken twice in the last week by different athletes. Americans Yared Neguse and Hobbs Kessler both broke the previous indoor world record last week. And then Jakob Ingebrigtsen broke Neguse's new record 2 days ago.

Golden era of mid distance running currently. The current talent level from 800m-5000m is absolutely insane and they are all soooo young and not even in their prime years yet breaking world records.

Oh yeah, my bad. I'll fix the title.
