Mikey to Katie: "Bates is a good player but we are not in a position to offer him the long term deal he wants"

Katie to Mikey: "You do knoe he and Burrow were in Vegas watching UFC last night don't you?"

Mikey to Katie: "Uh oh, JB's sending us a message...Give Bates whatever he wants"

It's a new world old man. The way of communicating is way different than it was when you were in your 20s.
