Martin talking to Grant and Jerry, says his first thought was "Oh no! Not again" when he jammed his finger but was really relieved when the x-rays were negative. Says it still hurts a little but not a problem.
Martins says, "It was good to be out there with Mike and Brad. We gave you guys some chemistry tonight and we hope we can keep it going."
Hrm. Chemistry? How strange. Almost as though our Mr. Martin knows what we say around here or something...
Regardless of anything else that might happen, I have to give credit to Reggie and his staff for settling this team down and getting them in shape to play one of the toughest teams in the league.
