With a new coaching staff there were a lot of changes last year. That's no excuse, because you're professionals and you should be able to adapt and do what you've got to do, but everybody had a better understanding of what's going on around here now, and what needs to be done.

I didn't even think I'd play football again, to be honest with you. Then I got a call from Canada.

It was so easy. It was like an extra year of high school. The level of play was nothing. We traveled everywhere. Utah, Arizona, Idaho, you name it. The bus ride to Utah was, like, 22 hours. I tried to overload on sleeping pills and woke up and still had another 10 hours to go. I was mad.

I was on the 15th floor, and he was the 14th floor, and I could hear him through the vents. That's how loud he was.

They weren't winning. They was just another team in the league. Now, they're the bomb. I can't take nothing away from them. But back then, they were nothing. And they had those hideous uniforms, too.

I never thought I'd be back. But I made my mistakes, got into a little trouble, learned from it.

All of the sudden I see the phone ring. I stared at it for a minute. Should I answer it? I picked it up. And they wanted to bring me back. I was in shock that I got the phone call, to be honest.

That is my entire playoff check.

I'm not going to say it was a fluke, but they had a lot to play for, and we came out flat. We learned our lesson from that.
