Well, besides your obviously greater talent, judgment and physical condition.

I'm glad you noticed the obvious extra confrontational-ness today. It's better for you to see it yourself and deal with it (as we say to captains in the pre-game conference). Then we don't have to!

Sometimes I think you are too hard on yourself and don't give yourself enough credit. One thing about some sports and officiating as well, sometimes we have to give each other confidence in order to get the most out of the crew. You know the rules, you want to do the right thing and you have heard/read some very screwy scenarios. That can help a crew immensely.

Enough of all this gooey stuff, I'm supposed to be confrontational today.
