Should he have said it? No.

But I don't think that sometimes people don't understand what these guys go through being "famous". Just as he doesn't really have a grasp on life without fame (as he's been very good for a number of years now). Not that it makes it right, just arguing for his side.
Mussina may be nicer now, though. A friend of mine ran into him and David Wells at a Yankee game a couple years back and he said Mussina was the nicest player he'd run into, besides Jeter and, of all people, Glenallen Hill. One encounter doesn't mean he's changed, of course, but I figured I'd throw that out there.
