When I retired in 2002 I had retired to stay home with my family and didn't necessarily think my playing days were over.
The opportunity to go up to Canada and play was just a blessing for me and my family.
I think the Canadian Football League is a great league, but it's not the NFL, and I'm not Jerry Rice.
I was a borderline guy in the NFL.
As long as I have the support and respect of my teammates, that's all I can ask for.
I obviously have a lot of love and affection for the people of Hamilton from playing there for so long.
