"I've had debates about getting rid of it, but I tell people the story of Cardale. I just got hammered -- people were texting me that Cardale met a very beautiful young lady out at the ESPYs, the fighter (Rousey). I met her, too. She's stunning.

"I think everybody overreacts. If it's disrespectful we nail it immediately. If they're a 19-year-old man being a 19-year-old man.... I've got enough things to worry about. That's not one of them."
