The only people you have to look out for in life are the people that don't care about anything or anyone. These are the people that end up teaching your children.
You meet new people. We just spent two hours with people we didn't know before, just talking about the Badgers.
I mean, I think I'm doing a lot better than other people that have had shoulder surgery in their careers. Some people have never come back.
