It gets serious at halftime. The first few days here, it's all about the excitement of being around the other guys. Talent likes being around each other. The end of the week comes in and you start realizing you've got aunties and uncles and cousins and best friends from high school here, and you're paying for all of them. You start counting up the bill. And you realize, we do get a little bit of money for being here, but it doubles if you win.
