00:00Tough 24 hours here for our group, our organization, most especially crushed for

00:07Jimmy, who he's having a great year, and obviously that's over now.

00:13So we're disappointed as a team, as an organization, most especially though

00:18individually for Jimmy, who's meant so much to this organization since he got here.

00:22It's hard to believe he hasn't even been here a year, but he's fit in so well.

00:26And, you know, we hate it for him, but, you know, the beat goes on, we got to keep going.

00:31Yeah, Jimmy's in good spirits.

00:33You know, I hate it for him on a personal level, former teammate.

00:38You know, I've been through some injuries and surgeries, but never an ACL or something

00:42that's significant.

00:43So I know he's got a long road ahead, but he'll have the support of our group, our organization,

00:48our medical side, and I know he'll bounce back.

00:51Figuring out the surgery date, and then he'll get into some rehab from there.

00:55And, you know, it's a long road ahead, but it's a very recoverable injury, and we're

01:00optimistic about it, and, you know, hope to get him out here as soon as we can.
