Just so it's known - the "tag team" of Jeff Dobies and Steve Jupinka didn't really exist. Financially yes but Jeff created the team and managed it deftly without any of my input. The WIN is all on ALL-IN. The man is truly an Auction master !

That's not ENTIRELY true! Steve did fetch me drinks and food at that Auction!!

All kidding aside Steve have some in-season input and he truly is an in-season master!! It was great having his a partner and I hope we look forward to defending in Vegas (if he can stand another year of me!)
