Opening Day is a fun day. The last thing you want to do is spoil it with a loss. You want to cap it with a win and send everybody home happy. But it doesn't change the fact that we have a good team and we're going to have a great season.
That was a great thing about playing for that team, everybody has something to offer as far as what they've done to be successful in their careers. I was able to take a little bit from everybody and what they had to offer.
People throw that label around without even seeing the player play. It's unfortunate, because nothing good can come of it. I think everybody should be judged on an individual basis.
Anybody that can come back after a whole year off and get respect is a great player in my opinion, ... he works hard and makes everybody around him better.
This is what our country is all about. Everybody is proud of their American citizenship and they want to do the best they can to represent that.
