With my experience, I think I've earned that respect from the team and from my teammates.

I think the big thing I've had going for me in that regard has been the success of the league. I don't have quite as much control over things as people believe, so I frequently receive more credit than I deserve, and occasionally more criticism as well.

I really want to do everything I can to try to win a game or win on a play. You get fiery; you get chippy out there, but a lot of respect, I never have anybody, like, talk trash in my career in the league, or I don't talk trash. I think guys respect the fact that I'm coming.

I have a lot of respect for people with a lot of talent.

I try to respect everybody out here: players, caddies, fans, media.

I respect every guy that has walked away. I think every single guy in this league makes his own decision, and that's perfectly fine. The reason I respect that and the reason I think every guy has his own way of dealing with things is because, in my personal opinion, I know what I'm getting into.

I've always just tried to treat people with respect, build relationships with players and coaches... build a trust.

I think I've earned a certain level of respect, based on my accomplishments and my consistency.

The league, I think, is doing well. It's growing, it's maturing, and it's becoming a better league.

What I respect as far as in myself and in others is the spirit of just doing it. For better or worse, it may work and it may not, but I'm going to go for it. Ultimately I probably prefer to be respected for that than whether it works out or not, either winning or losing.
