mistake smart stupid
When you have success on the field, you're more popular and you have that fame that comes with it. You realize you're in the public eye more and you've got to be a little bit more careful about some of the things you're doing out in public and make sure you're smart about the things you say. You're still going to make mistakes from time to time, but you represent an even greater population and people are that much more looking for you to be in the wrong place at the wrong time or fall down or say something really stupid that's going to get you in trouble.

care guy hard learn means seeing shed tough
He was very emotional. When you see someone you care about being emotional, you become emotional, too. Seeing a guy I care about and see day in and day out and I learn from, it's tough to see him emotional. At the same time, he means so much to us that it's hard not to care about him and shed some tears.
