I have 'closed, closed' the door on future sports ownership because it would get in the way of Fanatics' success
are you closing the door on sports ownership going forward?... Closed. Closed. You're closed, closed. Look, here's the reality...

I don't think he should have been suspended for it because he got, he got his foot grabbed and it wasn't even that hard of a stomp.

The Buffalo Bills winning a Super Bowl would be the biggest merchandise market for Fanatics
What you generally look for is teams with great heritage that haven't won for a long time. The Buffalo Bills would be spectacular for business. Because they have great heritage... think about everyone who grew up in Buffalo who has any connectivity in Buffalo. Every one of them would buy $500 in merchandise.
