WILFRED FROST: Mike, want to get back to this Nike news. Chairman and CEO Mark Parker of course has been CEO for some 13 years. He's been at the company for 4 decades. He's overseen some fantastic growth and performance for the company. Stepping down, effective January. Will remain in as Executive Chairman. New CEO coming in. And John Donahoe, with a lot of focus on the digital side of the business.
MIKE SANTOLI: For sure. And that's probably one way that John Donahoe's kind of background links up with what they're looking at. He's definitely known as a very good operator, manager. He got great marks for his work.
