“I have seen the negative effects of losing football in New York. You know, obviously I got hurt and I was going through different times than my teammates were… I was battling through injury. They were battling through, you know, losing some games and trying to fight to make it to the next week and be healthy. And, you know, I think over time I’ve been able to see how New York reacts to the negative. And I think this upcoming year I am going to be able to see New York react to the positive. Obviously we’ve seen some of that with the Knicks winning the championship. I was a part of that. That was awesome to be a part of, being able to go to Game 4 and 5 and seeing how the Garden, the people, the places you can go the… the people that buy into winning cultures. And I’m excited to see when we start winning football games who comes around who wants to be a part of this thing and who wants to really show that they’re part of the Big Blue Nation.”
