Contrary to what the fans may think, you don't just show up, wear a striped shirt and a whistle on Friday night.

Tiger Stadium is another level. Our fans are great. Our fans are very supportive, but down there they're wild. They get up for football regardless of who they're playing, regardless of what time it is, but especially at night. They stay up all day to prepare for kickoff. They're probably the loudest. They're probably as loud in pregame as they're going to be in the fourth quarter. They just love their football down there.

We don't want to be annoying fans. We know that bothers Boston players when there is no place they can go without running into a fan.

I really enjoyed my time in Philadelphia, and I want to thank my teammates and the fans for a heck of a ride.

The fans are going to get quite a show. This is theater and this is living history, but it's also unscripted sports competition. It's not like a Civil War re-enactment. It's a real ballgame.
