Can you enlighten me about this quote?

Christian Pyles (of FLO) interviewed the Penn State Coach after his team won Southern Scuffle in 2015. PSU won with Jason Nolf, Zain Retherford, and Bo Nickal, among others, as redshirts. Sanderson turned a question/suggestion back on CP about the plan for the season. As someone at FLO put it at the time, "If you listen close enough, you can hear CP shaking in his shoes.":

Heavyweight looking at that tasty sub sandwich, saying to the 115lbs'er as he going into the boiler room of the gym to make weight... "Are you going to eat that?"

"I think these fans just respond really well to a good haircut. That's what I was working on coming in here, making sure I had it fluffed and feathered the right way, and I think the fans saw my hard work."

"I gain trust every time my hair grows a little more and a little more. I trust in myself and my mullet. It's a process, you know. You can't grow a great mullet in a day, (and) you can't win a Big Ten title in a day."

Yeah, it was a pretty narrow audience I was aiming for. But is it any more of a whiff than a cartoon of something that is not a whiff with the word whifffff in it?

Is it?  

To be fair. it wasn't a whiff on your part. It went over my head. So the words were meaningless. Much like the last few post'.

So its more like Wkn whiffed on recognizing the whiff by MP or is it that MP pulled the whiff right out from under Wkn.

Nope. That is a whiff, the other one was not. You have to take a swing at something to whiff.

Montaigne

And when wrestlers counterfeit the philosophers in patience, ‘tis rather strength of nerves than stoutness of heart. Now to be inured to undergo labour, is to be accustomed to endure pain:

                    “Labor callum obducit dolori.” —Cicero
