- After a game, you either come back home on a plane, or fly to another city. How does it look from the inside?

As far as food goes, we always have a good selection. The same applies to drinks. You just take anything you want.
- Is it true that the stewardesses already know each player's prefernces as far as food and drinks go?

So they often remember. For example, we have Stewart, and he always remembers that I like to drink coke, so he can place it in my seat ahead of time. That way, it's already waiting for me before I get seated.
- Who do you usually sit with?
