They want to follow, but they don't know which way to follow sometimes.

It doesn't make them good or bad, but technically, you know, you hope that your leadership is so strong you can save those guys.

The terrorists are the worst because those are the guys that undermine the coach's message as soon as he leaves the room.

You know, I got to share this one with you.

Gomer told me this one earlier in the year because he's coaching for the Chicago Steel.

He goes, I give a speech to the team.

I'm walking out of the room.

And he said, I knew there was going to be somebody that was going to say something.

So I stuck my head back in the room and I said, and if you're the guy that says I'm wrong, then you're the loser.

Because that's the guy that kills your room and brings your rookies down.

So the terrorists in the room, if you can find those one or two bad seeds and get them out of there for sure.

And the last one is a corpse.

And I think the corpse is funny because sometimes you need that guy on the team.

He is the player that scores.

He doesn't care if you win or you lose, but you need his points.

And that's a funny one for our sport because you still need to do the most difficult thing, which is score goals.

Well, I would say Bussey is, and Freddie, to be fair, I was a backup goalie.

You know what you have to do when you're a backup, guys, is swallow your pride and say to yourself, I don't care what I'm going to do to make this a winning experience for all of us, but

but I want to ring too.

And you do feel like you're a part of it, but I can tell you, I didn't get an opportunity to do this, but for anybody that did back up, I'm sure if we were having a beer together, they'd say, yeah, I want to stay on the cup, but you know, I didn't play.
