I listened to it, although I didn't hear him bring Curry's name up, but I might have missed it. 

He did explain the Jaguars were not responding to his inquiries about costs and other things, which threw red flags for him. Perfectly understandable. I also liked his idea that Lot J and stadium upgrades should have been negotiated in the same package. He supports the idea of a dome over the stadium, which is exactly what it needs. Several times he reiterated his ardent support for keeping the Jaguars here and said he bears the scars for supporting them in the past. His main concern with this deal is the lack of transparency from the Jaguars and the development company (whose name escapes me right now).

The most important assertion he made is the Jaguars are not leaving because Lot J didn't pass. 

He's a politician, so take it for what it's worth.
