    As you well know it is virtually not possible that I might have a higher opinion of myself. Being excellent is a curse that way.

    Excellence doesn't mean being a dick. There's something you see in Pete you hate about yourself.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Pete once said that if we ever met and didn't talk politics, we'd probably get along. I told him he was wrong.

    Well, I'm the one that's wrong, because I have a flaming leftist friend, and we can even talk politics and get all excited and scream at each other, but when we're done we're still friends. I probably would get along with Pete.

    I say that because recently, even though we disagreed in the darwin thread, he held off with the insults so I did as well. It was refreshing, and showed me a different side of him. The board would be a little boring without differing opinions.

    I hope Pete doesn't faint and fall and injure himself since I apparently defended him.

    Do you feel better about yourself after insulting me Darin?
