[QUOTE]
“I actually just had a conversation with him…I asked him, ‘How was I being immature?’ He never really gave me an answer. He said it was just his opinion, and I told him that I’m just trying to come out and play hard. I’m not trying to get into any of that. I have respect for every veteran in here, and at the end of the day I’m really just trying to play hard. “We all know the odds are against (the Select team) in this camp. Everybody knows that to even have a chance we’ve got to play even harder than we normally do. And I told that I’m just out here trying to play hard.
On their conversation…
“I’ve never spoken to him. I just went out of my way to ask. I wanted to know. I kind of took offense to it, because I really came in here trying to play hard. For him to say that, it kind of puts a step back in how I’m trying to grow…I know it’s my reptuation, so I come in with the odds against me.
