Everybody wants to be on a championship team, but nobody wants to come to practice.
It's not about rugby, it's about young men. It's not about building a championship team, it's about building championship boys. Boys who will be forever strong.
The Mets have shied away from that iconic club because they don't want the current one exposed to that hard-partying culture which, while well-documented, has also been somewhat exaggerated at times.
