I still hope I made a good showing when I talked to them. I hope I impressed them.

There's not a big market out here for housing. You don't find what you need, but you find what you can handle and be comfortable in.

It makes it hard, because we know we can win the games. We just have to keep our heads up and keep on coming back every game and come back hard.

We made it a point that we had to close out even harder to the shooter so they wouldn't get an easy shot off. We knew that was what we had to do because they came out on fire in the first half.

I told them when they were doing it, I can take care of my family. But they insisted. I realized, when I talked to other people about it, they said, that's all you can do is say thank you. You can't have no pride with something like this.

Whenever one of those styles is needed, I know how to use it. If I have to take it to the opposing team, I will. If the team is going well, I'll kick back and watch them play.

I was hoping it wasn't very bad, but I got shocked once I got home. Everyone was in the same boat. Those who don't want to start over in New Orleans lost everything and have nothing to come back to.

They hit a lot of shots with hands in their faces. They just caught fire.

I know it's one day, one place, one day, another place. It's a lot of traveling but I'm very excited. We'll see how they grill me and what happens.

I left out of here and ran over there, and got him outside in the hallway. I broke down and cried a little bit. I don't cry. My wife says there's something wrong with me. I hold it in. But it was hard to hold it in yesterday. That really touched me.

I had it above the fireplace. I came back and found it down the hall, near the bedroom.
