Quote of the Day
?This media gets f?ed up sometimes when it comes to me. We don?t have our full roster, Y?all know we don?t have our full roster. Stop asking me stupid f?ing questions about if I feel like I can do something. If I had my roster like they did, then I feel like I can do whatever I want to do. I?m coaching really hard. My boys are playing really hard. I?m not embarrassed about nothing.?
