I seen an interview with Chad a while back and just my .02 but I think he's a hellva player and pretty much just an all around good guy. He said it best himself "When I was in school it was a sport. Now that they pay me to play it is entertainment and I try to give the fans what they want." (Sorry I think I kinda para phrased it, but it's pretty close).
Oh and Trooper, I don't know about you but if they paid me half as much as they pay him, then I'd do the the chicken dance everytime the truck stoped for me to pick up a garbage can if that's what the job intelled.
