He ain't the same man. He ain't the same guy, and you learn more about people as time goes on.

My relationship with them now has much improved. We are on the verge right now. I can say this, contracts have been written, contracts have been agreed upon. And all it requires is two signatures, one from them, and one from me. And I will be back with the legends [deal].
