Cookie and I are so excited to watch the Washington Commanders take on the Arizona Cardinals tomorrow at our first game as new owners of the Commanders. The fans are excited, the city is on fire, and the players are definitely ready. Go Commanders!

God is so good…I still can’t believe it! I am currently living in an answered prayer. Since beginning my journey as an athlete and now businessman and team owner, it's all been a dream that has come full circle. I grew up playing football as a kid, I’m a huge NFL fan, and I watch games every week. Now, I get to co-own a storied franchise, the Washington Commanders.   I’m especially thankful to Josh Harris who allowed me to be one of his partners with the Commanders. He is an amazing man, great friend, incredible businessman, proven owner and winner with the Philadelphia 76ers. Josh and his team have been first class throughout this entire process. Our ownership team is committed to the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia community and fanbase to bring a winning team and best in class organization.

A big big big thank you to Josh Harris for allowing me to be his partner! Thank you to my business partner Eric Holoman, President of MJE Christina Francis, VP of MJE Alexia Henderson, President of SodexoMAGIC Charles Johnson and my longtime business partner and friend Mike Triplett for joining me on such a historic day!

What a great day! To be an NFL owner of the Washington Commanders, this is one of the greatest days of my life. The way the fans received us, the way the employees are fired up and the amazing Redskins alumni…WOW. The players are ready to go out and perform on Sunday!
