There's nothing we can do about it. It's a loss for sure and it's an important piece of the puzzle but it shouldn't be a distraction. He's getting the best care that he can right now and we have our fingers crossed that he's going to be all right.
coffee cups four guys pot sure taking three
I'm sure there are guys who take Sudafed, but it's probably no different than having three or four cups of coffee. If guys are on drugs because they're taking a pot of coffee a day, then there's going to be a lot of us.

I don't think worried is the right word, we still control things. We'll worry when the buzzer sounds and we're not in the playoffs.
