I should have had a little more control than that.
I've never had (a) beef with World. Personally, we were teammates. We understood that. I understood that. As the primary (option) on this team, I felt it was my responsibility to have the ball come through me, and I consolidated and distributed to everybody. I don't know if World was bothered by that.
The zone tonight was a big problem. The zone slowed us down and made us stagnant and not as aggressive.
Even though we've been losing and going through hard times, we've kept our morale up.
The third quarter has been our Achilles heel pretty much the whole year.
I've never been opposed to a reunion. I've always let him know that I'm going to be in Minnesota, and he's always let me know he's going to be in New York. So I guess we've got a problem. Different parts of the world, dealing with the map is probably the issue at this point.
I've never been a part of something like this before, so I didn't know what to expect. I was not here for anything else but the people. This weekend was the most memorable weekend I have ever had.
I've always said I'll be in Minnesota as long as they want me. I don't think I can take another one of these rebuilding stages.

Everybody from A to Z has to be ready to play, and sometimes that's not the case. It's a little more difficult on the road, dealing with the crowd and different elements, but that's no excuse.
That was so unfortunate. It could have happened to any of us. I kept telling him, 'You'll be OK. We're right there with you.
That was a good block. I mean, you all saw what you saw, but as soon as it left his hand I got it, you know. I'm sitting right here in front of you all with a win.
I wasn't going to feed into what you guys wanted me to say,
Marko was aggressive tonight. It was the first night when we didn't have to say much to him. I think he came here with a little chip on his shoulder, some kind of edge with him.
