Yeah.

I want to bring you back to the vote, the original vote, which was one of my first meetings.

And you'll be able to fact check this back in 2000 or 2001 when ML Bam was, was basically created.

And I will never forget sitting in the owner's meeting and looking up at the names of the people who are going to be on the board.

And it was all old white people who didn't know at all about technology.

And I didn't either.

And I was a young white person.

But I was not technologically proficient or understanding what the world... Remember, I'd run a newspaper business, for crying out loud, and didn't think the internet was a thing.

Yes, that is literally how my career started.

And so I will only say that when BAM was created, what Bob Bowen was able to do and what we let him do was create this amazing asset.

And we just didn't hold it long enough.

And because we could have, and we would have had power as an industry, that that was our best chance.

And this was the argument I had.

It was our best chance to catch the NFL.

in terms of franchise valuation, was this, was nothing to do with baseball or media rights or John Skipper or any of that.

It all had to do with this entity that was created out of thin air and had such value creation.

Can you imagine what it would be today?

And that's the thing about selling an asset.

Once you sell an asset, it's gone.

And you have to be very careful about that.
