I sit there dumbfounded as Timothy Hayes laid down the facts. He told me how he had all but been sidelined for the longest time. He had been wanting to break the contract for the longest time until one of the team members was out with a
dislocated shoulder. And then another got sick from some exotic stomach flu in his off–season trip to Bali.
That’s when things got worse.
“To be fair,” I spoke thoughtfully, “lots of professional athletes don’t really get their big break for a while.”
