And Mike, if you sent me; I expect either 1) your support, 2) your explanation, or 3) your boycott of that TD. I know that's what my people expect from me; and if they don't buy my explanation, they expect me to make it good, or risk they won't work for me again.

My question remains, who pays for it? It isn't like anyone can control the weather. And while it is done some places, it isn't fair to keep the teams' money if they do not play
