Just because it doesn't exist I can make -- -- one -- there's opportunity instead of a -- -- it.

You know it's just a fearlessness that's that's I've had my whole life I mean I've been very very fortunate in sports and very fortunate in my business career and and the funny thing is is I think if we thought this league through at halftime too closely we probably would have never done it.

But Jake was an entrepreneur or have a -- Fedora both very very successful and it was -- one of those things on the opportunity presented itself we just say good.
