There are so many ways to do this better than Clausen did and make it a team camaraderie thing or a charity thing... like say OK I want 100k for the number and then donate it to a charity Cam has been involved with. Or say you can have the number but you gotta buy everybody on the team a $1000 watch or pay the bill for a team dinner or something.

The PR and teammate opportunities are endless and it comes off so much better and less sleazy than "If you want the number so bad then give me money."
