His thoughts on Michael Jordan:

"Michael, I think one of the reasons why he's been mad since junior high, is because he hasn't had dogs in his life. You know if you make Michael mad, he never forgets it. I think if he had some dogs, I think that would calm him down. I'm telling you! He remembers everything anybody ever did or said about him in his life, and I think if he had some dogs, that would take some of the venom away."

Would he have been as great without that drive? Reminds me of Lance.

Actually, pets do help when it comes to reducing anger.

Unless you take your anger out on your pet, which is no good.

Ultimately, humans can forgive but they never forget -- no matter how hard they try. Sport, however, is so much different than life -- competitions are decided on a field of play under a set of rules; real life there are rules, but no referees to ensure they are kept.
