Maybe I can talk my good friend Jerry Rice into the same thing.

I know how great Jerry Rice was in his prime, ... I saw it firsthand.

Talk doesn't cook rice.

They tell me I have a good shot at starting but that is just talk. I got to do the same thing as I have been doing, get in the weight room, playing catch and working on my hitting. They are a young team and they are looking for guys to step up. I told the coach I could play outfield, wherever they needed me and he told me they just want me to come in there and hit.

Talk does not cook rice.

I think it's Jerry's masterful fiction writing.
