They brought me on at the end of December as a consultant to help them launch the league.

I was just brought on for my arena football expertise.

And I did not know that the team was coming.

Somebody reached out, did you realize there's a team coming to the Coliseum?

I'm like, no.

So when they brought me on as a consultant, and I got them to the January 15th press conference, and five minutes after the press conference was over, they offered me the job as general manager.

I said, okay, whatever.

And then he told me my consulting fee would come within two weeks.

So I kind of used that as a barometer.

Like if I get the money, I'll take the job.

I got it the next day.

So, like, I had no reason to, like, vet it any further.

And then the checks were coming in.

No one's blaming you.

No, but I'm just saying, like, people have asked me, like, why didn't you vet this guy more?

I had no reason to.

He talks to me about that all the time.
