We've seen each other so much, it's a constant battle, ... I'm going to find a weakness if I can, and if not, I'll grind them and make them earn everything they get.
The fact of the matter is I wouldn't be here if I didn't have a chance to watch these kids,
We're looking at that game square in our eyes right now. That's the most important thing we've got going. So, you know, you didn't want any extra added pressure on Brandon.
We're conditioned to do this. This is what we do. I'm just excited to have the opportunity again.
The champagne tastes better and better as you get older, ... I'm glad I made the decision (to keep playing).

The process was long and hard on me. When everybody was out having a good time, I'm running trying to get my body ready.
