I am playing with the assumptions that we have in our everyday life when we are tripped up or fooled and we learn something, that makes things exciting - I am having fun with that stuff, but you have to manage it so it doesn't get too cute, that's what I trying to work toward.
It is that time of year when players are concerned about their future. And that is a bit of distraction, but that is not a reason or excuse. Some are playing for new contracts and it is just a tricky time of year.
