I think people have expectations that he will be a hardcore nerd like the rest of the people he played with.

why is everyone saying billy mitchell has never gotten laid? He has kids. He's a douche, for sure, but come up with a new insult.

Steve rocks, totally a cool dude, saw the movie, great stuff.

Steve seems like such a good guy. He's a champion in my eyes.

I like Billy Mitchell too because he's such a unique character and being a ruthless jerk is part of his mystique.
