It's been said on here before, but I'll say it again anyway...doesn't everybody say things in the heat of the moment that they perhaps wouldn't say if they were feeling a bit more measured and had more time to think about the words that come out of their mouth? I actually find it amazing that we don't hear more outbursts over the radio, because it is a high pressure situation that these guys are in. I think it's remarkable how calm they usually sound.
