I don't want to." And as a father and as somebody who's really enjoyed in-- Like, as a kid would be over the moon to try to get an autograph and a picture with Ashton Jeanty, a running back.

I remember for me, like, I got a Napoleon Kaufman jersey and, you know, this is dating me back, but, like, I got a Napoleon Kaufman jersey 22 to 23 years ago.

No, more than that.
