Sanders disputes the notion that the situation will be a distraction, telling reporters, 'When you have 'it,' when you're 'him,' you get sued. You have off-the-field foolishness that if someone really sat down and explained it to you, you would say, 'You've got to be kidding.'' He added, 'I don't know anyone that's a game-changer, a way-maker, that is not dealing with some type of lawsuit.'
