Yes. I think the locker room is really home base for them. There's an area for them to charge their phone. There's a comfortable seat. It's not a locker. You know, talking to Dan Marino and those guys, they literally had a nail they used to hang their helmet on. These are very bespoke custom environments. We try to design the environment to be... almost more Four Seasons-like without the mahogany.

Well, I would say is that causation or correlation? This is the first year that survey has been conducted to my knowledge. If you're winning over a long period of time, maybe you don't feel the need to put the resources in. And if you're not winning, you feel the need to create some competitive advantage.

And one of those things is that players are really different today than they were even five years ago. They want to understand the why of things. And instead of just saying, shut up and get in line and do what I tell you to do, Mike will sit down with a player and say, well... you know, listen, wide receiver, here's why I need you to block corners and safeties in the run game.
