And the teams that don't, like, where is that wife supposed to go? What's your prediction for, let's say, two years from now? How many of those 14 will offer it?

And in the end, once I got my third contract, me and two other teammates went in on a suite. Like we bought our own suite.

We want to live in a world where we're giving out 32 A-pluses for all the teams. That, again, is JC Treader. And when we went into this year one, I told the staff when we started it, like, if all that comes from this is four teams start giving dinner to those players, it's a win.
