Initially it was a rumor, they did not give us the email at that time, and The Wall Street Journal I would not do it. We spoke to the league later that afternoon and by Friday (October 8), they started giving us all the information, I spoke to the Commissioner and stuff. But I think if we had gotten the information in early summer when they found out, it would have been much easier for everyone involved, “he declared after a meeting with all the owners of the NFL.
