I still am an employee of the Jaguars. And... still work in that research group and really enjoy it. We just got done with the draft and it's the most data-driven group of decision-makers we've ever had. Somewhere in that time, my father also bought the football club in the Premier League. I had never worked in Premier League or around English football at all. That was happening around that time.

And the two founders put together some really exciting technology and some very, very cool analytics research. And I found that their tools, the reports that they gave us were just fantastic. And I asked them if they were interested in working together and building a bigger relationship. And they said they would really be interested if I would invest in their business and help them grow it.

And I was interested in that too. So I did. And that was in 2014. And within a year, I bought the business outright and became the 100% owner of True Media Networks. We're the largest and best sports analytics engineering firm in the world. The CEO, Rafe Anderson, and the president and head of technology, Jeff Stern. They are absolutely fantastic people.

I've been working with them for now forever. about 13 years since my first year here at the Jaguars. And I've been the chairman of the company for over 10 years now and really love working with them. And we built a great business where we service 25 out of the 30 major league baseball clubs, ESPN, New York Times, and any football clubs in the NFL and in Europe.

And in doing that, I learned a lot about growing a business. As we were growing that business, I was following what was happening with Fulham very closely. The team had some very tough times in 2014. 14, 15. And I started to take more interest and wanted to get more involved. And the team was relegated. The first year, my father bought it from the Premier League.

The second year, they finished 17th in the English Football Championship, which is the second division of English football, which was very scary. And you can be very interested in sports analytics. And as I've seen, whether it was at the Jaguars or those first couple of years at Fulham, you can have really good analytics, people making good suggestions or good

Really in any business, there can be somebody smart in a business that's making good suggestions, but it has to be applied by the people making the decisions because you can get really good research and recommendations, but if they're not being applied, then... It's useless. Yeah, really. They're interesting. They can be interesting after the fact.

But if that information isn't being applied to the product or to the team or whatever it is, then it's not that helpful. So in the summer of 2016, I took over managing the transfers. And we totally changed the team. It was a new team and the results got much better. Years later, we'd gotten much more successful. We had gotten back up to the Premier League.

We've had some success, but then had not gotten relegated. We had gotten back up and gotten relegated again.
