You know, it was kind of a blur, to be honest with you. You know, my emotions was running all over the place. But he said, hey, great game. You guys played extremely tough and physical. And he said you deserved to win. So for him to say that, you know, what – First of all, his humility and who he is as a person is unbelievable. And I don't know him well.

Just had a chance to meet him when we played him. But the way he carries himself, obviously, you know, he's 39 years old, as James Franklin pointed out, which I thought was very, very interesting.
