aspect business felt intent job pitching sake unfinished win
He felt that for his sake and for the pitching aspect of it, and the staff, he felt we're still going to win here and he's got some unfinished business to do with our guys. I think his intent is to get the job done here.

There didn't seem to be enough business to go around.

clearly deception decisions felt life players reason spent telling todd toward truth walker whether work
I don't know who he meant. I clearly wouldn't think that Todd Walker would have any reason to tell you I've never not told him the truth.
