Audit Finding 1: Communication logs between the quarterback and his top receiver show zero direct contact since the latest wave of trade rumors. The pair still managed to describe their relationship as really good, which the report flags as either impressive denial or world-class method acting.
Audit Finding 2: Brown continues to generate external interest while Hurts insists nothing is wrong. The review board notes this is like two coworkers claiming everything is fine after one of them put their résumé on LinkedIn and the other stopped replying to emails.
Audit Finding 3: The "really good" label appears to rest entirely on the absence of public meltdown rather than any measurable interaction. Investigators concluded the standard for healthy rapport has apparently been lowered to "we haven't blocked each other yet."
Final Verdict: The relationship passes every surface check and fails every substance test, earning the highest possible rating in professional denial.
