All these type comments are annoying, at the least. What he did last time was made bigger than it was. He's always been a very respectful, level headed, family oriented guy who stays out of trouble and plays hard. A good role model. If my kid said he wanted to be like LJ, I'd be happy with that. He's always had my respect. He was thrust onto the national stage at an age when most of us were acting like complete idiots. He's handled things well.
