Bryan told me one of the reasons he came here was because we had a promising young nucleus, he's just really excited about working with us. We can't go anywhere but up.

That's when my thoughts started to change, and I continued to talk to Bryan, and we developed our relationship we have now. He said 'I think I have a good reputation and I don't want to change that.' He doesn't want to ruin his name by not making this franchise better.

They basically told me I have the right to be more vocal, you have the right to push everybody else when some guys are slacking off some days. They want me to do a better job of getting on them and demanding the best of them, because that's what all the great players do, they demand the best out of their teammates, and make everybody better.

Many people say they feel let down about the reasons why Britain went to war. They feel they weren't told the whole truth about it.

We like our nucleus, the core of young players we have. We'd like to build something here. We want to be in position to add in the future, when the ages of unrestricted free agency goes down.

I did it more out of caution than anything. I was the one who self-quarantined. I told the stewards I was scratching everything in the barn and said I was going to self-quarantine until I got back that blood test.
