I am critical and also have high expectations. When you demand and receive a contract for $20 million-plus a year, it comes with great expectations, so I make no apologies for having them.
Add in the fact that the guy talks a lot, whether he does well or not, and it can get on your nerves, it certainly does mine. He's barked and chirped for quite some time, ignorant of the fact that he often had nothing to 'talk' about. When you get your tail kicked, you have no reason to say anything, but that's never stopped him.
But while I will criticize when he disappoints, I am fair enough top praise him when it's deserved. And it undoubtedly is a praise-worthy week for him. So I will.
