I had an opportunity to make a play that I've been making for nine years.

That's when Mike asked if I'd throw. I've been under the weather, but then I thought I'd better help him out. He knows he has to prove himself.
both game
It was a never-quit game for both teams.
bone game gone inside kicked puffy swelling
I got kicked on the inside at the end of the game in Portland. It was a bone bruise. It was real puffy and stiff, but the swelling has gone down a little bit. I never had one like this, on the inside.
