Right. He's saying the NFL is a mafia, and I have enough information that I've gleaned about them that I can blow up the whole league if they try to take my beloved team away from me. And the fact that he had his hand in their pockets and was not sharing all the revenues that he was supposed to share from a team, by the way, that was last in local revenue.

And it was basically Snyder was costing them money and was threatening to blow them up. It was Jerry Jones who was the final firewall of support for Dan Snyder. And I think the reason for that is because Jerry liked Snyder when he first showed up.

He knew all the buttons to press with Jerry to ingratiate himself. And so when Snyder was on the ropes, Jerry held the line as long as he could. But then when he heard that dirt had been dug up on him by somebody he had looked after and held the line on, I think that was the final straw.

He's like, he's on the run. He's on the run.
