Which is not a whole lot different than believing everything that he says...because it fits your own personal beliefs.
It's sort of an atheist versus christian (un-)religious fervor kind of thing. Whatever side folks are on, they hear what they want to hear, and stick their fingers in their ears with a "la-la-la!" for anything else. That's what talk on this board has deteriorated into unfortunately.
As for me, if it was a quote I could verify for myself, or something that other people could confirm, I'd buy it. But just Whitlock? Questionable at best, even though I think it's something that a guy like Haley could say. Although, as others have pointed out, if he's that arrogant, than the 'Pioli's shuffling porter' bit from the dinner wouldn't make any sense.
Let's just say there's a lot of stuff Whitlock's said this offseason about those two that just doesn't jibe for me based on what I've seen and heard myself from interviews and from coverage by other people in the media. Maybe that will change in time, I don't know.
