I hope to stay with the organization a long time. We love it here. We're close to Iowa. It seems a perfect fit.
I scared her enough for one lifetime when I passed out. I still think about how scary that was for her. I would never want to put her in a position where I would scare her like that again.
I plan on coming back and playing. I'm jogging a little bit. I'm starting to see I will be able to play again.
Even though the risk of something serious happening is very low, there is a risk.
I think we knew that when I got released back in August that there was a possibility that I was going to play this year. Now it's kind of becoming a reality.
I enjoyed looking at the talent. That's something I've always wanted to do, to put a team together. I'm going to learn as much as I can, and try to help this team get where it was a couple of years ago.
Nothing's for sure. I just want to find out if it's a situation that would make sense.
Hearing her say that it would be very tough for her to watch me while I was out there playing made the decision a little easier.
Right now, I'm trying to make a decision.
If guys are struggling with their role, I might be a guy that they can come talk to about that. I'm just going to try to do anything I can.
There's a big decision to be made, and hopefully it will be made in the near future.
I wanted to show that I could be the first guy to play with a pacemaker, because I felt that I could. I tried everything I possibly could to try to play.
I see myself playing next year, and I see myself in a Timberwolves uniform. I want to end my career here. I want to stay with this organization.
If I was a rookie, without a family, I'd probably be playing right now. But my family is the most important thing to me. I think it would be selfish for me to go and play if there was any risk involved.
