He may be a personable guy. But go back to his southern accent on the safety video. Is it fake? Or his his "everyday" accent fake? He makes his millions by being brilliant, sure...but also by being everything to everyone. Not buying the "good cop" act.
You ever see the Godfather, Purp? You seem to want to take everything so personal. Yeah, we screwed up the last contract.

It was our duty to turn their offer down. We didn't do it.
When you go to the car dealership and pay full price when you could have gotten a discount, is it the salesmanship fault? Is he necessarily a bad guy? No.
Just because we failed to do what we were supposed to do doesn't mean that Anderson isn't a good guy. His gesture was appreciated by me, that's all.
