I'm not a guy who can sit on the bench and collect a paycheck. I realized if I couldn't play for this team, there aren't many I can play for.

We're 63 games into it. You'd think by now we'd understand that when we execute we play decent.

Yeah, it makes it a little easier to follow those guys. But you know, those guys had to be the leaders -- they were superstars. I'm not. I'm never going to be. There's about a 99 percent chance my jersey will never be hung in the rafters. I'm just an older guy who's been around, seen how things work, so when I do something or say something, I guess that's being a leader. I'm old, I think that's what makes you the leader.

We got the win. Every season I've played (here) we haven't had a losing record. It's only .500 but it's still not a losing record.

I've run out of gas. I'm tired of being on the road. I just don't have it.

I hope they're going to welcome him, give him a chance. I'm sure there'll be some boos in there, but, whatever. He just needs to come out and play hard and have a good game and get those people who aren't on the bandwagon back on the bandwagon.
