Let me ask you, do you really care what others think of you?

I think Mike, like all of us, has an ego that helps him strive to be the
best. But I also believe that the past few years on the tour has toughen
and tested him. I believe Mike emotions were a combination of his shear
joy, and a bit of "in your face" for those who doubted him or played with
him over the past few years (mental games of psyche).

Mike has made it over one of the biggest hurtles in his life. Watch for him
to mellow a little. Oh, he will still get pumped up when he wins, but you
will notice more joy and less anger (like when he won his first B.A.S.S.
tournament). Do you remember his smiles and his joy? I believe that is the
Mike you will see next year.
