It's not good, but what we're doing now is trying to prepare for next year. That's the reality. We have 17 games to go. I was just focusing on trying to win at least one of these games on the road.
It's almost kind of scary. One day there is a city and the next day it's gone underwater. ... That lets you know that some things are bigger than life. To see water actually kill people, it's like the Twilight Zone.
It's going to be damn near Jesus Christ the next person to come and do the things he's been doing because he's a naturally gifted kid.
He really is something, ... He not only has met all those incredible expectations, he has blown them out of the water. He has built the expectations for the next generation.
For some reason, it put me at peace. We don't know where we're going to be next. And who's to say that the next place we go is greater or lesser than where we are (now). But we're just happy with the current state and not knowing the unknown. For me, it did a lot psychologically.
It's scary when one day the city is there and the next day it's gone. To see the water actual kill people, I couldn't believe it. I never fathomed it could bury a city.
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.
