Not losing money to injuries

Will:

Many will ask how I know this to be true, and I’ll direct you to look at the massive gap between the best teams and the worst teams when it comes to keeping players healthy. This isn’t a flukish statistic, but one based on a decade of numbers. Looking back through 2002, the gap between the best and the worst teams is almost $100 million dollars.

It sounds like alot, and it sounds like there’s not much luck there, but, we’d need to test that.
