We have a very, look, I don't apologize. I'm just me. Some of you love me. Some of you love to hate me. It's all good. It's just, I want championships. There's an aggression that I think is required to obtain them. And I don't see that from our teams in this town. And it's a shame because I do think this is one of the great American sports cities.
