It was a lot of fun when he started showing up in the mornings working with us, ... That is how things took off once we became teammates.
It was a tough week for him, ... and he certainly wanted to shine for everyone.
I want to go watch it again, just to look at the details of everything that happened,
I wanted to thank her properly at the Hall of Fame, ... But I keep playing this silly game.
I try to stay as young as I can around these guys. But when you're sitting on ice bags, both hamstrings, you're getting close (to the end).

We've seen each other so much, it's a constant battle, ... I'm going to find a weakness if I can, and if not, I'll grind them and make them earn everything they get.
