Well the thing you'd fear from a guy like M Singletary is 1.) He's old school. 2.) He's a per se good guy.
Those type of guys don't just fuck you up....they don't like having to put a foot in your ass but once you make them....they do a thorough job and make sure you understand why you got your ass handed to you so they don't have to ever bother with doing it again to you or whomever else may be witnessing it.
Consider yourself the sacrificial lamb in the exercise.
