Am I crazy to spend [millions] in contracts when I have the chance to get three layers deep into the playoffs?

We don't sell wins or losses. The one thing you can't control in sports is which games you are going to win or which games you are going to lose. But what I could control was the experience the fans have.

Business is the ultimate sport. In business, as in sport, the one thing you can control is effort.

One thing we can all control is effort. Put in the time to become an expert in whatever you’re doing. It will give you an advantage because most people don’t do this.
