Former Georgia Tech football coach, Pepper Rodgers, recalls an incident from his days as a high school baseball player. In a particular game he stepped up to the plate and the catcher said, "Well, look who we have here, the great Pepper Rodgers. Know what they're saying about you?" Pepper asked, "What?" "They're saying that you think you're about the best thing in this league, that you're a real hot dog. "Pepper replied, "Is that so? Know what they're saying about you?" The catcher asked, "What?" Pepper replied, "Nothing." In other words, if someone is bothering to criticize, you must have some life in you.
