- “You have to take your job seriously, but you can’t take yourself seriously.” – Brent Musburger.
I’ll put it this way; if Tim Peterson isn’t to be taken seriously, why should he care about this site, and why should the readers view his thoughts as anything but hot air?

Your job is serious but YOU aren’t…probably the worst geezer quote I’ve read on this site.
