From the first days [of training camp] in Mankato all the way until my last game here in Minnesota, it's always been consistent. 'Minnesota nice' is not just a phrase; it's a way of life. The dedication and all the Purple [was incredible]. The best way to encapsulate it would be to say the fans are loyal; they deserved the new stadium, they deserve a championship, and I'm hoping within the next couple years that will happen. The fans have been outstanding. You know, I had an opportunity to play in Cleveland, and they have a great fan base, too, and then I had a chance to play in Arizona for two years. But my home is Minnesota. There's no fans like in the state of Minnesota.
