RECAP: The Drew Bledsoe Show on The Ticket...

[trickblue]

Bledsoe:

I guess you could say it is an intersting week in my life. It is weird and surreal. Being out of practice is a strange thing for me, it is very difficult and I didn't forsee this happening.
There is really one way for me to approach it. I am part of this team, I am captain of this team and I will do whatever I can to help.
When you are part of a team, that's what you do. I would handle it the same way even if I wasn't a captain.
I am out there throwing some scout team which I haven't done since I was an 18 year old in college.
The easy thing would be to hide from this and not talk about it. This isn't fun to talk about but I will honor my commitments to the Dallas Cowboys and this show.
Obviously there was speculation this year that this could happen but I really didn't think it would come about.
You can certainly critisize my play, but I am proud of the fact that no one can criticize my preparation or my effort on the field.
We were in a five point game the other night. I felt we made some mistake and I made some mistakes but I wasn't expecting to be pulled. It was quite a surprise to me.
Generally what happens at half time, the coaches go in for a short meeting to discuss adjustments then come out and share them with us. Chris Palmer came out of the meeting and told me they were making a change.
The way things are in the NFL right now, any team that loses a couple of games then a change can come at QB. THat's the way the league works now. When I first came in the league a team stuck with a QB for the year barring injury, but that has changed. It's due partly to external pressure, more media outlets and the coaches are on such a short leash as well and sometimes only have a couple of years to turn things around.
I've been around Bill a long time and the fact that I disagree with him has nothing to do with how I personally feel about him. He is a good coach and has a proven record, but I do still disagree.
It could be the case that he was waiting for a time to make the switch and decided to do it then. That is not what he said to me happened, but if it was I am certainly don't like that. He talked about the bigger picture and things like that. He told me he didn't know if this would work or if it was the right thing so be ready to play. I will prepare and be ready to go if needed.
You have to be prepared for whatever in this league now. You just have to be ready to go when you are called on and I will be if the opportunity arises.
On the int, there were two options on that play. I had thrown it in practice during the week and it worked well. Madison had press coverage and I wasn't expecting that. Had I thrown the ball quicker I might have gotten in there. The other option was Fasano over the middle. I should have thrown it out of bounds.
On the rushing TD, hey, I am faster than you think. Someone needs to do the research to see what my 40 was when I came up. I'm not going to tell you you'll have to find it. I put a little extra on the spike just to vent some frustration.
I've always shared info with other QB's. Some don't do that and try to hide some stuff. I think Tony has benefitted greatly from that and previously Vinnie. He has learned alot and I will continue to do that. In order to look in the mirror and feel good about myself, I will continue to do that. Some don't do that, Brett in GB won't do that. He said it isn't his job. I feel it is mine to help as much as I can.
I'm not prepared to discuss my future. I still think I can play this game, I still have the ability. You don't make decisions about a relationship after a fight. You have to wait and see what happens. We don't know what the rest of this season brings or what may occur so I will wait and see what happens after the year is over.
Thanks guys and we'll talk to you next week.

what a complete idiot...

Fasano is all alone in the endzone and this nut wants to throw it away...

than there was a game or two ago where Witten had no one covering him and this knucklehead screwed the pooch on that one too...

I have seen a bunch of these last year and this year...

I swear ya'll I really am glad he is on the bench and I really hope I never ever have to watch him QB my favorite team again

[Aikmaniac]

Sounds like an interview I would give if the same thing happened to me.

[SBChamps]

I hope he doesn't. I don't want Romo to get in a bad habit of tapping the ball 100 times. :D

[Everlastingxxx]

hey, I am faster than you think.

Umm...No.

[CrazyCowboy]

A true professional.....provided he does indeed do what he says

[GTiRacer06]

he handles himself with class.

he does have speed, but not quickness/agility, this is true

[ThreeSportStar80]

LOL, I like how he basically threw Romo's boyhood hero under the bus, Brett Favre...

:laugh2:

[Wolfpack]

Has to be a hard thing for him to do, comming out for the media after all this, so I give him a ton of credit for that.

[speedkilz88]

He is a nice guy, but yes Zaxor the guy is an idiot. Throwing that pass away isn't as bad as throwing it to Madison, but its idiotic to say when he already knows that Fasano was wide open.(and the primary option) I also have to think that the qb should know what coverage the corner is in by the time they throw it.

It is good to see that he said this.

[AbeBeta]

Ooooh you are soooo much smarter than Drew. Put your agenda away.

[KingTuna]

You have to wait and see what happens. We don't know what the rest of this season brings or what may occur so I will wait and see what happens after the year is over.

NO WAY Bledsoe is going to retire...He'll start for one more team.

[MichaelWinicki]

NO WAY Bledsoe is going to retire...He'll start for one more team.

No he won't.


He's unprotectable.

[Danny White]

He is a nice guy, but yes Zaxor the guy is an idiot. Throwing that pass away isn't as bad as throwing it to Madison, but its idiotic to say when he already knows that Fasano was wide open.(and the primary option) I also have to think that the qb should know what coverage the corner is in by the time they throw it.

Has it been established that Fasano was open?

Be that as it may, it was a dumb pass, and he was benched over it... let's move on.

I give him props for continuing to honor his obligations.

[Jarv]

Ooooh you are soooo much smarter than Drew. Put your agenda away.

Not sure what you are talking about, the primary reciver is open (Fasano) and he looks at Glen, then says he should have thrown it away ?

Not what I want to hear from my QB.

Who is the one with the agenda ?

[CoCo]

I'm not sure how its determined that Fasano was wide open.

I watched the video again last night and specifically that play a few times to try to see the other options and the TV cameras don't have a very good view of that part of the field. You can't see all the players.

I'm not saying he wasn't open. I just couldn't tell.

[AbeBeta]

Not sure what you are talking about, the primary reciver is open (Fasano) and he looks at Glen, then says he should have thrown it away ?

Not what I want to hear from my QB.

Who is the one with the agenda ?

But that wasn't what he said. Here's the recap - Says nothing about Fasano being open -- nothing at all. Basing my conclusion on the actual statement. How's that an agenda?

On the int, there were two options on that play. I had thrown it in practice during the week and it worked well. Madison had press coverage and I wasn't expecting that. Had I thrown the ball quicker I might have gotten in there. The other option was Fasano over the middle. I should have thrown it out of bounds.

[joseephuss]

When does the The Ticket bench Drew and create the Tony Romo Show? :D

[bbgun]

His sense of entitlement is unbelievably annoying. Adios, Drew.

[AbeBeta]

His sense of entitlement is unbelievably annoying. Adios, Drew.

Yeah. I'd prefer a QB who didn't think he should be starting too.

[baj1dallas]

I'm not sure how its determined that Fasano was wide open.


You determine it based on your agenda, the way you determine anything else around here.

[AbeBeta]

You determine it based on your agenda, the way you determine anything else around here.

:hammer:

[BoysfaninVegas]

NO WAY Bledsoe is going to retire...He'll start for one more team.


As long as it isn't for the Cowboys.

[AbeBeta]

As long as it isn't for the Cowboys.

Yeah? What if Romo sucks over the next few games?

Me, I'd think if that were the case it would be really nice to have a vet QB -- albeit a flawed one -- who had something to prove at the helm.

[MichaelWinicki]

Yeah? What if Romo sucks over the next few games?

Me, I'd think if that were the case it would be really nice to have a vet QB -- albeit a flawed one -- who had something to prove at the helm.

Actually that has crossed my mind. Bledsoe could be starting for this team again sometime this season.

[baj1dallas]

Yeah? What if Romo sucks over the next few games?

Me, I'd think if that were the case it would be really nice to have a vet QB -- albeit a flawed one -- who had something to prove at the helm.

What are you, some kind of Romo hater? Everybody knows Touchdown Tony's taking us to the Stuporbowl! There's no way he'd ever do anything like throw 3 picks in one half, only devils we know do that sort of thing.

[AbeBeta]

What are you, some kind of Romo hater? Everybody knows Touchdown Tony's taking us to the Stuporbowl! There's no way he'd ever do anything like throw 3 picks in one half, only devils we know do that sort of thing.

I actually like the guy - I think he provides a nice spark. But the love he got after throwing three picks - two of them being just awful awful throws, just amazes me.

[ConcordCowboy]

His sense of entitlement is unbelievably annoying. Adios, Drew.

Agreed.

[sillycon]

I'm not sure how its determined that Fasano was wide open.

I watched the video again last night and specifically that play a few times to try to see the other options and the TV cameras don't have a very good view of that part of the field. You can't see all the players.

I'm not saying he wasn't open. I just couldn't tell.

He wasn't wide open but the defender was behind him. Anyway, it was moot. Drew didn't even let the play develop. He took one tiny glance when the guys JUST STARTED their routes and then immediately turned his attention to the left side and threw to Glenn. That sure seems to validate the other posts that theorized Bledsoe already made up his mind before the play to go to Glenn.

[Yeagermeister]

If he was available right now I have no doubt Oakland would make him their starter.

[AbeBeta]

Agreed.

A guy who runs the scout team isn't demonstrating a sense of entitlement.

[L-O-Jete]

I actually like the guy - I think he provides a nice spark. But the love he got after throwing three picks - two of them being just awful awful throws, just amazes me.

:hammer: It's almost as if one has to compensate.

[peplaw06]

Yeah? What if Romo sucks over the next few games?

Me, I'd think if that were the case it would be really nice to have a vet QB -- albeit a flawed one -- who had something to prove at the helm.

Ab... I'm still shaking my head about how much I've been agreeing with you.

As for the Bledsoe coming back stuff... I think Romo would have to be unbelievably bad. Not saying that's out of the question, but if he comes in and promptly goes 0-2, the trigger would have to be pulled around then. Bledsoe is only going to come back IMO if we have a shot to salvage the season. If we're out of it... which would basically be the case if he went 0-3 to start, then I think BP would probably ride it out with him. Give him all 10 games and see if/how he handles the adversity. At that point it would be clear we're preparing for the future and seeing if Romo has what it takes to be the long term solution.

The only way I see Bledsoe coming back is if Romo is a complete and utter failure... or injured.

[AbeBeta]

The only way I see Bledsoe coming back is if Romo is a complete and utter failure... or injured.

Well, if he keeps throwing picks, he will get hurt given the way he tackles.

I too am shocked at our accord.

[Rampage]

If he was available right now I have no doubt Oakland would make him their starter.
oakland line is worse than ours!

[koolaid]

I actually like the guy - I think he provides a nice spark. But the love he got after throwing three picks - two of them being just awful awful throws, just amazes me.

its insane,
romo is talked about like some mythical greek hero that can do no wrong

bledsoe is scorched for not smiling on the sideline

if i believed everything that this board says i would have thought romo came in at the half and put up 4 touchdowns and was totally unstoppable, then cured cancer. Fact is he wasn't any better than bledsoe.

[ConcordCowboy]

A guy who runs the scout team isn't demonstrating a sense of entitlement.


He doesn't have a choice...Except to quit.

To me it's the I'm a starter or I'm going to go play with my kids stuff.

If you play bad you're not going to be a starter period. Now he has to deal with it.

[AbeBeta]

He doesn't have a choice...Except to quit.

Where did he say that? He didn't in the recap that I see.

And from his comments it seems like he is.

Still not understanding where exactly you are getting this entitlement stuff from.

That's not the attitude he's displayed this week. All he's said is he thinks he should be starting. I'm sure Romo has thought he should be starting since the beginning of the season, probably longer.

That's what NFL QBs do... even if they're not starting, they're all confident enough in their abilities that they could get the job done if they came in. If they didn't have that kind of confidence, they wouldn't be in the league.

I don't think Bledsoe has done anything except show the utmost in class and professionalism this week. Think about what you would do if one of your subordinates was given your job and you were demoted to his. It can't be easy.

[Sarge]

what a complete idiot...

Even worse - Think about all that AND you have to show him the ropes and help him succeed.

[ConcordCowboy]

Where did he say that? He didn't in the recap that I see.

It wasn't this week but I believe before the season...Can't remember where I read it but I did read it.



And from his comments it seems like he is.

Still not understanding where exactly you are getting this entitlement stuff from.

To me it just seems that he feels that no matter how bad he plays and no matter what team he's on that he has earned the right to keep starting no matter what. That he's entitled to keep starting because he's been in the league for so many years and has thrown for so many yards and so many TD's or whatever...that's how it seems to me.

[ConcordCowboy]

That's not the attitude he's displayed this week. All he's said is he thinks he should be starting. I'm sure Romo has thought he should be starting since the beginning of the season, probably longer.

No you're right he has been ok this week. I was talking about the articles I had read earlier in the year about him not starting.

[AbeBeta]

It wasn't this week but I believe before the season...Can't remember where I read it but I did read it.


Big differnce between retiring in the off-season and quitting don't cha think?

That he's entitled to keep starting because he's been in the league for so many years and has thrown for so many yards and so many TD's or whatever...that's how it seems to me.

I think you confuse WANTING to play and believing you are the best choice with entitlement. You can’t on the one hand want a QB with confidence then on the other hand want the guy to say “yeah, the other guy is a better choice” -- any starter/former starter who thinks someone else is better should just go and play with their kids.

[bbgun]

I think you're conflating arrogance and defiance with "confidence." Where was the apology to the fans and the organization for letting them down? Where was the contrition? This wasn't merely one bad game; it was the culmination of several bad games over two years. Drew has lost his job to three relative unknowns and still thinks he should be starting. That's the very definition of entitlement, if not outright delusion. It's you Drew, not us.

I don't think Bledsoe has done anything except show the utmost in class and professionalism this week. Think about what you would do if one of your subordinates was given your job and you were demoted to his. It can't be easy.

How is not facing the press after the game considered "professional"? It was unbelievably cowardly. A lot of players stunk in that game, but they hung around and faced the music LIKE MEN. Drew? He was burning rubber down the highway like a petulant child. Some teammate. Some "leader." And if you think he's gonna play "loving big brother" to Romo, you probably also think Jerry is a marvelous GM.

Someone has a sense of entitlement and it's not Drew. :rolleyes:

I would be SHOCKED if a professional athlete apologized to fans for a bad performance. That just doesn't happen unless somebody gets in trouble off the field or does something unsportsmanlike, like Haynesworth.

If he still thinks he should be starting it's because he thinks he can physically get it done. Can't fault him for thinking that. I bet a bunch of people on here probably can't do physically what they used to be able to do when they were younger, but your pride often won't let you admit that, especially to outsiders.

He was burning rubber down the highway like a petulant child. Some teammate. Some "leader." Not facing the press was probably MORE professional than what he would have said if he had faced them that night. He probably would have flown off the handle in anger... I would have. Instead he gave himself time to calm down and cool off. You know what that is? That's class.

Athletes avoid the media all the time... doesn't mean that they're not "men." Heck he faced them two days later, I think that would be hard enough.

[AbeBeta]

Apologize TO THE FANS?!?!?


The crazy stuff that some posters come up with just keeps bringing me back.....

Then you have incredibly low standards. Bled isn't a backup LB who missed a tackle. He's the team CAPTAIN for 's sake. He's let them (and us) down--repeatedly. If a CEO can apologize to stockholders for low earnings, then a QB can apologize to fans for poor performance. It's not that complicated.

If he still thinks he should be starting it's because he thinks he can physically get it done. Can't fault him for thinking that. I bet a bunch of people on here probably can't do physically what they used to be able to do when they were younger, but your pride often won't let you admit that, especially to outsiders.

Again, that's defiance wrapped up in a pretty package. I don't care about his "self-worth" or self-esteem. Losing your job to three green apples in three different cities is a bona fide trend. His biggest proponent and father figure just bailed on him, but for some reason that has failed to sink in. Drew is incorrigible, and so are his mindless defenders.

Not facing the press was probably MORE professional than what he would have said if he had faced them that night. He probably would have flown off the handle in anger... I would have. Instead he gave himself time to calm down and cool off. You know what that is? That's class.

I don't know who's more delusional, Drew or you. Let's call is a push. NOT facing the press after a stinko performance is "professional"? In what parallel universe? He couldn't compose himself and control his emotions? The "leader" of the team bailing on his coach and teammates is okay? Did Romo refuse to talk about his three picks?

Athletes avoid the media all the time... doesn't mean that they're not "men." Heck he faced them two days later, I think that would be hard enough.

That would be two days too late. He deserves zero credit. Your spin is embarrassing.

[REDVOLUTION]

Bledsoe:

I guess you could say it is an intersting week in my life. It is weird and surreal. Being out of practice is a strange thing for me, it is very difficult and I didn't forsee this happening.

Ok so he is not Nostradamus...:rolleyes:
If I kept throwing game changing INT's... I think I would temporary have forsight

[bbgun]

I didn't forsee this happening.

Drew Bledsoe: victim.

[peplaw06]

Then you have incredibly low standards. Bled isn't a backup LB who missed a tackle. He's the team CAPTAIN for 's sake. He's let them (and us) down--repeatedly. If a CEO can apologize to stockholders for low earnings, then a QB can apologize to fans for poor performance. It's not that complicated. Low standards? Cause I don't expect athletes to apologize to fans for poor performance?

It's called being realistic. How many times have you heard of such a thing? You're being Pollyannish.

And I doubt CEO's apologize to stockholders very often for less than stellar earnings. They may apologize for embezzling or ethical violations, but if they have low sales it's generally not happening. So you bash Drew for his "sense of entitlement," while feeling you are entitled to an apology yourself...? And you won't acknowledge that. I guess I shouldn't expect you to be sharp enough to pick up on the hypocrisy of your expectations.



Again, that's defiance wrapped up in a pretty package. I don't care about his "self-worth" or self-esteem. Losing your job to three green apples in three different cities is a bona fide trend. His biggest proponent and father figure just bailed on him, but for some reason that has failed to sink in. Drew is incorrigible, and so are his mindless defenders.

The truth is you're a sensitive Nancy if you are equating his confidence to defiance. Defiance would be if Drew ran out on the field on Sunday night the first time we get the ball. Defiance would be Drew NOT going to practice, team meetings, games, etc. All he's said is he doesn't agree with the decision. This isn't communism. I believe Drew has the right to speak his mind and have his own opinion.

If the guy didn't think he could get it done he wouldn't be in this league. He does, and he is. And up until this week at least one person agreed with him. And if he was on the market right now, someone else would probably sign him.

I don't know who's more delusional, Drew or you. Let's call is a push. NOT facing the press after a stinko performance is "professional"? In what parallel universe? He couldn't compose himself and control his emotions? The "leader" of the team bailing on his coach and teammates is okay? Did Romo refuse to talk about his three picks? Pot meet kettle... Thinking athletes should apologize for poor performance is completely delusional. You want them to give back some of their paycheck too? :laugh2:

And people refuse to talk to the media all the time. More evidence to YOUR sense of entitlement. Who cares if he doesn't address the media? You'd rather him go on a 15 minute tirade?? Yeah that's more professional:rolleyes:



That would be two days too late. He deserves zero credit. Your spin is embarrassing.

:laugh1:

All this hate... and hypocrisy, and I'M embarrassing?!? Yeah... okay

I swear ya'll I really am glad he is on the bench and I really hope I never ever have to watch him QB my favorite team again

zaxor, when i read this and saw he said, if i had thrown it quicker i might have got it in there, i thought he still thinks he can force things because of a rifle arm. and terry would have had his back turned if he threw it sooner. and how did he not realize it was press coverage.

second he said he should have just thrown it away. well he should have read the field and looked for other targets, not just throw it away because the player he wanted wasnt open.

and he still defends disagreeing with bill (thats fine and maybe im reading into this, but it sounds like he is still defending his decision(s) to ignore bills playcalling and call his own shots). eh, guess older players get set in their ways.

Hey, give bledsoe props for maintaining a classy, teamplayer and good guy image through this difficult time....but from that interview it is obvious that he doesnt think he did anything wrong, which means the same behavior would have continued all year with the same results.

[bbgun]

"I'm ashamed to put a team out there playing like that," Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said. "They out-everything-ed us. It was a very poor performance."

Where's your shame, Drew? Be a man like your coach.

[MichaelWinicki]

Drew Bledsoe has never, ever accepted blame publically for anything. It's always someone else's fault. The coach for bad play calling. The offensive line for not blocking well enough. The front office for not bringing in the right players. The wide receivers for not running the correct pattern.

He's not a stand-up guy... never has been (well I guess he is a "hasbeen" :) ) and never will be.

What he's good at is "bus-tossing". If you're a live body that he can pass blame on then you're going under that bus...

show me one quote where bledsoe has tossed a teammate under the bus,

[rubrink]

Does anyone ever remember a starting QB losing his job and having a press conference afterward to say "To all the fans out there, I'm sorry for letting you down. I am just not capable of being a starter anymore. I just hope Romo doesn't get injured, because I don't want to be forced to hurt you any longer."

Does anyone ever remember a starting QB losing his job and having a press conference afterward to say "To all the fans out there, I'm sorry for letting you down. I am just not capable of being a starter anymore. I just hope Romo doesn't get injured, because I don't want to be forced to hurt you any longer."


:lmao2: :lmao2:


I am done with Drew. Three strikes you're out!

The crazy stuff that some posters come up with just keeps bringing me back.....

I can't believe all the hate toward Bledsoe. I don't feel sorry for him because he has made a good living and won't worry financially; he has enjoyed a certain degree of success that has kept him around for 14 years and has no doubt enjoyed a large part of being an NFL QB.

Evidently the HC who is a good friend and supporter of Bledsoe's decided it was time for a change. We move on. I don't ever remember any Cowboys' QB, and I have seen all of them, to have such hate heaped upon them.

I wanted the Boys to draft a QB on the first day three or four times in the last 8 or 9 years but it didn't happen, with the exception of QC. I was upset
when QC was drafted as high as he was but I supported him and wanted him to be the guy.

Then an array (2) of baseball players turned NFL QB came on board. I supported each of them until they were gone. I did not want Bledsoe because it was obvious that he was not the future and I wanted a young Aikman or Staubach on board. But when he was named the man I have supported him. Now we have Romo and I will support him. Yet when QC, Henson, etc. left I wished them well. I felt they gave their best and it wasn't good enough. Bledsoe has skills but he doesn't fit with what we have at this time evidently. I wish him well. I wish him the best of everything. He doesn't owe me or anybody else an apology. A player owes an apology when they don't give their best; when they are lazy, poor work ethic, divisive, etc., but when they do their best and their best wasn't good enough what good is an apology.

There isn't one poster on this board but what would sign a contract today for 3m a year and give it your best but we know how that would work out. Who can blame Bledsoe for coming to Dallas and playing? If fingers are going to be pointed which I don't know even if that is appropriate, they should be pointed to those making the decisions and have refused to draft a skilled high draft choice and develop him to be the franchise QB.

Why can't we move on? Do you really think Bledsoe should say "I don't think I should play today coach because I think Romo is the better player"? Horse feathers. Should Romo get injured would you rather have somebody off the practice squad to fill in or to have Bledsoe? I am sure he won't be around after this season so why spend so much emotion on hating him. He is now history.

Well, it is easier to understand when you know that the primary "hater" in this thread is a long term troll.

Nice to see you finally earned the hat. You've been working it hard for quite some time. Let's all give bbgun a round of applause.

zaxor, when i read this and saw he said, if i had thrown it quicker i might have got it in there, i thought he still thinks he can force things because of a rifle arm. and terry would have had his back turned if he threw it sooner. and how did he not realize it was press coverage.

second he said he should have just thrown it away. well he should have read the field and looked for other targets, not just throw it away because the player he wanted wasnt open.

and he still defends disagreeing with bill (thats fine and maybe im reading into this, but it sounds like he is still defending his decision(s) to ignore bills playcalling and call his own shots). eh, guess older players get set in their ways.

Hey, give bledsoe props for maintaining a classy, teamplayer and good guy image through this difficult time....but from that interview it is obvious that he doesnt think he did anything wrong, which means the same behavior would have continued all year with the same results.

Yup and as Vela said it and if you have the guts to watch the video again Fasano is W I D E open... Bledsoe doesn't get it...because like Bill Belichek said he doesn't have the mental capacity

It never ceases to amaze me how many guys are hanging from Bledsoe's sack

Ooooh you are soooo much smarter than Drew. Put your agenda away.

If you think I have an agenda outside of wanting the best for the Cowboys you're as smart as ole Drew is...

sheesh.... It might help if you removed your orifice from his derrière...so you can actual see what is going on...watch the tape...read the Vela thread...do try to become enlightened dear before you enter into a conversation... and this ain't Bledsoe's first time missing the boat honey... in fact he does it so frequently I've heard tale of coaches using... "aw *()&^ he bledsoed it..."

now you go run along and play dear and have a nice day :)

A good night to you. Sleep tight in your Romo Underoos.

Keep digging that hole, dweeb.

What are you, some kind of Romo hater? Everybody knows Touchdown Tony's taking us to the Stuporbowl! There's no way he'd ever do anything like throw 3 picks in one half, only devils we know do that sort of thing.
What?????????:)
