   He's a master at understanding how the media works. More than anybody I've ever seen in politics, and kudos for him for kind of creating the environment and then manipulating the environment to his effect.

2. Ron Rivera:

   Kudos to the players for trying to get as informed and educated on it as much as possible, that’s a good thing. That’s a plus. We’re heading in the right direction.
