The state of Texas, and San Antonio, are helping shelter hurricane victims. That is the most important mission right now.
The situation is about as dire as dire can be.
The sense I have is if we ever get around to considering expansion in the NFL, San Antonio would be on anyone's short list.
The spread of talent around the league, the ability of teams to become competitive relatively quickly, it's a great thing. This preserves all of that.
I didn't know what to anticipate. We don't have a discussion with the owners until (today), so it's really hard to say.
Hopefully, I'll have the report by the beginning of the season, and then we can discuss it with the (NFL) Players' Association to see whether there are changes that we can make that would perhaps increase the penalties for players who might engage with others in a course of conduct that was designed to circumvent the (drugs-testing) program.
Hopefully, people will recognize there is reason to be positive and recognize that out of tragedy can come great achievement and vision and hope for the future.

We've been reading about other restaurants, other things opening up, energy coming back, and talking to other real estate people. ... It's very clear we're gaining momentum.
At this point you have to proceed on the assumption ... that they may be unable to play in New Orleans at all for the entire season,

That's a really tough competitive environment to live with and the Rams have been one of those teams that have had repeat success under that system.
