I sincerely detest this man.

Florio stated that he believe when an Owner and the City agree to a deal, it should be final.  However, the NFL owners have to approve the deal.  He stated that he did not agree with this secondary approval process because the owners could reject the deal and send Shad back to the City and demand more money. so in his view, he states that he hopes like hell that then don't send Shad back BUT the 50% side of chaos for the sake of newsworthy purposes hopes they send him back (but that was tongue in cheek).  He emphasized that he hopes the deal gets approved by the owner but wanted to stress how stupid the owners required approval is in this process.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PEOPLE WATCH THE VIDEO AND FORM THEIR OWN OPINION.
