It’s just not worth it. That’s not what this game is about. Call us soft. Call us whatever you want. But our game is about the grind. Our game is about playing the game hard, and I think you make those changes from the business perspective that will give us the best chance to put your best team out there and the best players on a consistent basis and limit injury.”
