We're just trying to work him back into everything and take his mind off everything that's happened,

I'm trying to create an after-work scene on Thursdays. I'm trying to hire local acts, local talent, where people from work can come, hang out, get some drinks, hear some music. We're going slow at first. If I can get 25 people in the house here this week, maybe after a year we'll have a hundred.

We're just trying to make this career livable. We just want to go back to work under the pretense of it being a fair working condition.

It's been a grind. We're trying to work on things, and it's especially important for us because we've got kids who haven't played much together. But we're definitely getting some things accomplished.

No, it would not. I'm not trying to undermine Martin in any way, shape or form. He's the captain and a very strong one. We needed impetus in Scotland and the bench has made an impact in other games.

I've just been trying to step up for my team because (Jackson) has been out. I just show up at the games ready to play and do what I can do best to help my team win.
