You can always get better.
believe athlete differences
I personally believe that professional athletes should give back to their communities in any way possible. We are in a position to make a difference.
athlete thinking people
So many people get caught up in being a pro athlete and think they are better. I don't feel like I've ever changed or acted any differently because of the situation I'm in or that status I have.

ahead extension fairly game move quarter ready running second strength
Probably the first quarter is getting the flex and the extension back in your leg, and I have done that fairly quickly. I was ahead of the game on that.

I take a lot of heat because guys say, 'You're lucky you don't have to run today,' but when you're in the position I'm in and you're hurt that's when you want to be running. I wish I could be out there running. It's like that for everyone in the season.

It's not offensive, it's harmless. He's just being Chad. He's being himself and doing what comes to his head.
everybody game meant ourselves
The game meant a lot to us, ... It meant a lot to the city. We let ourselves - and everybody around us - down. But it's still early. We're 5-2. We've got a lot of things going for us. Right now, I think we're the better team. We just didn't play well.

It's a huge win for us, ... Coming in here, we said good teams and great teams answer after a loss.
