Was it PT Barnum who said, "All publicity is good publicity."  And there is nothing wrong with his opinion, as addressed in video. 

Combined with SI article, this is great for Stanford and CM's H-man chances.  Anybody who hasn't seen him play will tune in next season, even those sleepy-eyed East Coast sportswriters who can't stay up past 11:00 pm.

I'm really interested to see how he plays when he's "chippy" cause he's pretty damn good when not pissed off.

I agree.  It is always a tightrope walk when you bring race into play.  However, he seems to have framed his point well enough to avoid the race card backlash.  I think he always plays with a chip on his shoulder.  I think all great competitors conjure up some external motivation to push themselves to excellence.  He seems to be the perfect athletic machine with a laser focus and extreme preparation.
