I think you all know my salary. I get paid enough to play football and with kids and everything else, you gotta factor that in.  You free time is your free time. You can’t get any more free time. You can’t buy it. You can’t find it on the street. So my time, I take that seriously and I use it the way I use it.played in the comedy show The League
