Well, I don’t remember all the names of all the clubs we went to.
I’ve won at every level, except college and pro.
I’d like to thank everyone who voted for me. And the one guy who didn’t vote for me, thank you, too.
I put a lot into it, and when I am done playing, I plan on going undercover and then being the sheriff or chief of police somewhere, either Miami or Orlando, I don’t know yet.

I’m tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
