Kelly Pitches Clausen and Tate…

but to no avail.
“I tried to lock them in my office, but they wouldn’t have any part of that,” Kelly quipped. You know I put my best pitch on to try to keep them. I understand they’ve got a great opportunity. … It just means that their sideline passes are going to be more [...]
