He also had an interview on the Today Show 2 days after the Yahoo article came out and addressed some of the topics of the article.  He came across very well, and seems very authentic in his feelings, maybe his yahoo article was not a good representation, but he said what he said.  I think there is some disaster recovery going on there, but I think he is truly excited for Michael at the same time.

One of the statements he made on the Today Show was he is the only person on the planet that knows what Michael is going through.  I thought that was an interesting and compelling point.  The pressure must be enormous and no one knows unless they have been through it.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Spitz and Phelps Interview</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/101784?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Aug 2008 05:07:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:147baf59-567f-44e7-959a-169f0919c5fd</guid><dc:creator>ande</dc:creator><description>mark came across very well, gracious, respectful
