I'll tell you one thing, at least early on in the game when team is so important - if Jimmy Freaking Johnson is offering his advice on how to work as a team, I listen. I'm not usually one for pep talks or following the leader, but in that case I'd make an exception.
It is fascinating to see how threatened the other alpha-males are acting around him. Here's someone who doesn't just THINK he's a good leader, and doesn't have to PROVE he's a good leader. He is. Period.
I'd be pretty pissed off if, say, I'd finally worked up the courage to try out for the show, sent in my tape, and hear, "Oh, you're 33? Sorry, we're cutting anyone in their 30s out of this season."
