One day I was complaining to Bill Coltrin about what I thought was an unfair article about our team. I was going to call the writer and complain to him.

One, whatever is written, it will probably be forgotten in two or three days by the public; and two, if you complain or make an enemy of the writer, just remember you may have your 'day in the sun,' but he/she is going to press 365 days a year." I have never forgotten that.
