Nothing negative, condescending, or rude there, whatsoever.
Some of you REALLY need to relax and stop trying to start a war with every comment uttered.

Watched it again this am as well. Impression I got is he knew he was going to get a bunch of questions about him as he has with Phillips, Zahorna, Duehr, Ruzicka. He’s probably tired of the over focus on the young players and tried to make light of it. It just didn’t go over well.
You get stuck in front of the media every day for decades and sooner or later you’re going to say something that people don’t like. It’s inevitable.
