I thought of this at first too, but the only thing that shoots holes into this theory is him dating Sheryl Crow. If he didn't want to be in the spotlight or more of a "celebrity" then you'd think he'd not date celebs.

I totally agree, they definitely were trying to get his goat...with the "I thought you had only won 5" comment and he definitely is a texan at heart. My only thought was that you'd think he'd have been told numerous times to always be aware of how he is viewed. You know somewhere there is a PR person responsible for him.

Regardless of his occasional arrogances, he is still by far a favorite of mine.
