Augie Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The article didn’t mention it, but I have it on good authority that he also gave them a knitted pair of mittens with a string connecting them inside their jacket so they couldn’t get lost. SUPER classy and thoughtful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably gonna give her a contract extension too. I'd have some performance clauses in there, watch out for the dead cap if it doesn't work out.

Seems to be the consensus. I'm drafting the Benjamin clause as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of thing is done all the time in businesses where you give recognition gifts, so not knocking it, just wondering. Actually I'm wondering if this gift has cap implications?

Soda Popinski Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 You would think that stuff like that is insignificant to guys who make millions of dollars but it really isn't. People want to feel appreciated as more than just someone who earns a paycheck. Very thoughtful gift that I think goes a long way. I don't know how people find a way not to like the guy.
