I think fans appreciate his perseverance.

Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.

It's like moving into a new neighborhood. It takes you a while to get comfortable. But I think fans are getting used to it.

I know the draft and free agency are the hot topics over the summer for fans, but once we get to training camp, none of the players are going to be saying, 'Oh, we'd be so much better if we had drafted this guy or signed that guy,'

The game was great for the fans. Our guys played with all their heart and gave everything.

I'm here with my family. I'm here with my best friend. I'm here with my fans, ... It just don't get any better than that, does it?
