I don't know baseball culture nearly as well or hockey culture, but basketball culture I feel like I know pretty well. And it's very, the hierarchy in basketball culture is obviously very clear and such that it's understood and not bucked against and there's no shame. It's almost like pride in being that guy who can subvert the rules and who can show up late.

Yeah. So, I mean, I know that's a thing and you hear it about all types of great players who have success in football. On the other hand, I've been on teams where guys obviously had like some special treatment, but it was minimally special. Like they didn't have the suite in the hotel when we traveled. They didn't show up. They showed up to meetings five minutes early, just like everyone else.

And there's a very like team oriented thing about football players where it's like the one thing I remember my rookie year. I'm sorry. Go ahead, David.

No, but I mean, I know where everybody is staying. So there's a table put out with all the keys on it, with all the numbers on it. The team is pretty big. And then you end up on the same floor as certain guys. Like, I've had rooms next to the star players on the teams before, and we all get up and go.

No, we never did a joining room slumber party.

We didn't have that situation. I imagine that some people, and also that it didn't really care. I think that competitiveness wasn't there. And also, like I mentioned, there was bed check. That was one thing. Some people would have bed check. And we thought at first, when we first got there, everybody had bed check.

But of course, nobody was going into the 32-year-old starting quarterback's room and saying, are you there at 11 o'clock? But they were there at 11 o'clock. It was like, we only travel but so many times. So those were the things that were slightly different. I will say that the big... Advantage that I remember was my rookie year.

We were 13 and 3 we won in San Diego on New Year's Eve at the Chargers and We were headed to the flight headed to the plane because we fly back immediately headed to the plane to fly back home We'd won a division and it was New Year's Eve and champ was like we should go to Vegas This is champ Bailey greatest cornerback arguably of all time.

Don't argue It is a fact and he was like we should go to Vegas and I was like, huh? Okay, tomorrow? He's like, no, from here. I'll go ask coach. I'll see if you can come too. And he said, I'll go ask coach. And so he got a private jet.

We went from San Diego to Vegas and celebrated New Year's Eve on the rooftop at Tao between the prime minister of a Caribbean nation and Britney Spears, if I remember correctly. Where's the button that I can press? That's great. There's no way that anyone else said, can I stay in this city or can I go to Vegas? That coach would have said, yeah, get your ass on that plane. Would any of us ask?

No, it's absurd. But champ, that's the one thing that I knew that I witnessed in my first year. But from then on, I never really saw it happen much after that. Like every now and then someone would stay. If we played in their hometown, someone would stay to be with their family and then come back on Wednesday. By the Urban Meyer style, you're saying? Nothing Urban Meyer style.
