I just throw that brace on there, it's supposed to protect the knee. I just feel that the little brace, when I put it on, it's impenetrable. |
I knew the second he knew he wasn't going to be on the field making an impact that he would call it a career. But it seemed like he would never retire. I thought he'd be George Blanda out there catching passes at 45. |
I really didn't want to have to go to a team where I was going to have to go through losing. I wanted to go on a team where everyone was pumped about what they were doing. They're only on the rise, so I figured, they're close to home, I like the coaches, it's location. It fits me. |
I simply wished they would have studied it further. |
I think if somebody would give him the opportunity today to be a top-three receiver on a team, he'd still be playing. |
I think more than anything, his game-day career was just the coasting part of his life. It was just picking up the harvest. All the apples were already on the tree. |
I think we should do reasonably well. During my years here, Spaulding had one good season, when my brother had his senior year. That one year, we had real team unity, not just individuals. I kind of feel like we have that this year. |

It got better as the game went on, but to start with we weren't as strong as I felt we should have been. |
I truly believe he prepared me better than anything else I did in high school. |
I want to be able to come home once in a while. It's nice to sleep in your own bed. |
I was hoping I was going to be back as soon as possible. Then they told me, before I got the MRI results back, that they thought it was an ACL tear and I would be out six months. I was pretty stoked when I found out it wasn't my ACL. I worked as hard as I could to get back. |
If it's going to be broken, and obviously it is at some point, let it be those two guys, |
In medieval times, artists had patrons that supported them and this is a similar thing, ... We're basically saying, 'Wouldn't you like to be a part of this?' |
in the soup. |
It goes beyond disappointing. I'm disillusioned. I really feel like the district has patronized us by saying this is just an emotional issue. This is an issue of safety and logic. |
