The competition, the naysayers, the owners who talk too much. The people who don't think a 36-year-old can do what I do. I take a lot of pride in my craft, I work really hard at my craft everyday, and I'm a true professional.

The last couple of practices, all we've been doing is a lot of defensive things. We've been going over some drills that make all of us have to communicate.

In my walks of life, I've understood that it takes more than one person to think of achieving a goal, and it takes more than one or two players, to get you out of the position you're in.

So we take a lot of pride in that. It's really on us to turn this thing around. I think this last month we've done just that. We've pointed ourself in the direction that we want to be, and I think we're starting to head towards that. Right now we're in a nice rhythm.

I'm not the type of person to give up just because something gets rough. That's a coward. That's not me.

Sometimes when I hear commentating, it's sickening. People who never played the game, people who never played in the league have an opinion, and that's all it is. You are here to educate the watcher or the viewer. Sometimes it comes off as personal. I don't ever want to come off like that. My opinion is my opinion about someone.

Performance is something we all strive to be better at. I'm no different than that. Who wants to look bad?
