The -- and he's he wants to get out of there maybe this is also way for him to get out there or to expedite the process -- But then get out and you're hearing right now I mean everything is appointed -- that he's gonna end up with the Jacksonville Jaguars which I'm not sure that is going to be a -- No help copper sort of being a halt what the ice around there rob knows it.
