FROM THE BOOKS
I was a hotheaded guy. You could never tell what I'd do. As a matter of fact, you probably know a lot more about me than I know myself, because half the time I didn't know what the hell I was doing anyway. If I got bad decisions I'd go in a tantrum, might look like I was crying. They called me crybaby. They called me "The Lispin' Lith," "The Garrulous Gob," "The Weeping Warrior," tack different titles on you. But it didn't bother me as long as I got the old paycheck. Always deposited it before a fight in a Boston bank and when I returned home it was credited to my account.
