You don't want it, you don't need it, but you're going to get it anyway.

The Kevin Sheehan Show is Kevin.

0:10.5

It's pretty incredible to think about, but this week is going to be the final week that Dan Snyder owns our football team.

0:21.4

Seems so far-fetched over the years,

0:24.5

especially when you considered his age.

0:27.4

But by the end of this week, Dan Snyder is out and Josh Harris is in.

0:32.8

Yeah, I believe that this thing is moving forward.

0:35.7

You know, we had the reporting last week about some of the

1:22.7

or 400 million investors, I forget what Mitchell Rails has and Magic Johnson. I think Magic's got

1:28.7

$250 million in it. But I would imagine that they didn't send their money when Josh Harris asked

1:35.3

if they would commit to being a part of the group. They're not going to let Josh Harris hold on to

1:41.8

$50, $200, $300 million for three, four months.

1:47.1

So he's still got to get all the money from them.
