He sounds a little bit like Cuban--promising way more than he can deliver.

Of course, when has Cuban not? Idk about promising, but he suggests and predicts on the brightside all the time. He feels he has to say a lot of things and show confidence as an owner of a team that has expectations. I just wish sometimes he would give fans more credit than that. Makes you wonder if he is actually bathing in the kool-aid.
