…In negotiations with the city, they have a tendency to project a real sense of contempt for the process — the unwieldy 19-member City Council, the political cross-currents. They're the experts, the smartest people in the room, the savvy business minds. And yet it turns out it's the Jaguars, and not the city, with a mess to clean up.

The city and the Jaguars are currently negotiating a stadium renovation deal that could cost taxpayers up to $1 billion. It's more than fair to ask the team to show some evidence it's capable of responsibly handling that kind of project in light of the criminal case. “With the assistance of external experts, (the organization) has extensively reviewed its own policies and procedures, added staff to its finance department, and taken other measures to ensure the integrity of its financial controls," the team told The Athletic in a statement…

Wrong car.  This is the one.

The guy was a bad gambler by reports.
Spent at least 500K in just his fantasy football stuff over one year's time. No telling how much he'd lost elsewhere.
