Growing up my favorite coach was Billy Martin.

I think there is a difference between being critical of plays and being critical of players and coaches.

When the Egyptians were building the pyramids or the Romans were building roads, or you had the westward push with the railroads, I don't think that the guys on the ground were spending a lot of time thinking, 'Hey, hundreds or thousands of years from now they will look back at the brick I have just laid down here and say that I changed the world!'

I think the legal profession is getting somewhat corrupted. When it comes to lawyers, I think it's kind of a Catch-22.

But on the other hand, the only way to sort through all that process, procedure and mess is through the legal profession.
