I don't know what Will thinks, either for a moment or otherwise, but I
find your question interesting. Do you know without question that they
actually did "pay their dues" by playing "in every crappy situation
imaginable when coming up"? I'm not saying they didn't, but I'm not
willing to take for granted that they did, either. Please tell us what
you know of their career development.
