We're not going to sit here and say (it was) the field or this or the rain or the cold, but that's the worst field I've played on since I was a little kid. I mean, when you stood in the middle of that field, you were in about six inches of mud. But, you know, so were they. And they held us today.

Hopefully, it won't take me two quarters to get going this time.

It's not 100 percent, but I needed to get back.
