Going through rebuilding is always tough, I don't care where you are or who you are, it is always tough. It is important for those guys to stick together and stay positive if that is possible.

There's not a thing that any of you guys can say bad about me that would hurt my feelings... I'm not coming at you, what I'm saying is that, I'm willing to take that heat for my team, if we're playing well or if we're not playing well.

I'm going to make a lot of people eat their words when it's time.

It's exciting. It's a great feeling talking about it and not being afraid to say, 'Yeah, we have a good team, and we're going to be capable of competing. It's great to see everybody thinking that way. I think everybody's committed to this team because of the talent we have.

I play some fighting games, but mostly I just play sports.

I just think people should be able to express themselves.

Just be yourself and do what you can do, ... Everybody is different. Everybody has different styles. Just do it the best way you know how.

All of these people are struggling, but it's a little harder when you have three kids and they're young. If you get one athlete, one artist, to help out one family, it's good.
