Although he was a career prosecutor, I don't get the sense that he, as a judge, has favored one side or another. He also is willing to make tough calls.

Courts have struggled with this, and very few courts have come up with a reasonable instruction that anybody can understand so that it's not so broad that poor jurors have to go back and figure it out on their own.

He has extremely high standards of conduct for people.

It's going to be a lot easier for him to start his career here with the guys that we have and the leadership that we have. I started my career here with the worst team in the league and didn't have a lot of support, but he's in a different situation. He's going to have a chance to learn very quickly and win very quickly, which is great for a young guy.

All I can say to the young players is, enjoy every moment of it. Just enjoy every moment of it. Your career goes by very quickly.

The first few games that we played against some of the teams, the young guys, you know, want a stick sign or photo sign, and I think that they respect what I have achieved throughout my career.
