THE CLASS

“We had a fantastic time, and I do think there is a lesson there. Thirty years ago, you would have never caught us dead doing this. Our egos wouldn’t allow it. Now, at 75 and 76, none of that s**t matters to us any more. We became friends instead of rooting against each other all the time, and now we actually cheer for each other.”

“Competition is good. It creates better performances, no matter what you do. But unless you are competing in a sport where you either win or lose, nothing is zero sum. There is plenty of pie to go around. You can be successful and still root for the guy two desks down to be successful. It took Sly and I a few decades to figure out we could both succeed and be friends and, man, it is so much better.”
