Everyone can understand the issue. They are sore, and they don't want to take any chances. I understand, but pride to me is important.

He's got everything else. He's got he momentum. He's got the talent to do it. And he wanted to do it. He wanted to get better. He was kind of disappointed with his career that he hasn't won 20 games because everybody keeps telling him how great stuff he has. He hasn't put it together. He feels this is the right time to do it.

When you got a guy throwing that hard there is no way he isn't going to win 15 games a year. There is no doubt in my mind.

It's a chance to see the origins of my people. It is a matter of pride.

If you wanna end your life like how King Uzziah did, then pride your life. But remember that sinful pride moves you away from the grace of God. When God rejects you, or refuses to shelter you, you become an easy target in the hands of your enemies.

The only result of being proud is making yourself nothing among your peers.
