I want to thank my wife Christine. Without her, I wouldn’t be half the man I am. She is right there sharing my passion because she knows how much this shit means to me. I cannot even imagine my life without her. We went to Eric the reds after, we had people hugging everywhere. The fact that this sport makes us all come together means more to me than anything else in this world. Hugs. Strangers hugging. Everyone hugging. Nothing mattered more at that moment. And that’s what I love so fucking much about this sport. And these fans.
Aside from marrying my wife, nothing will top what I saw today and tonight after. Nothing. It gives me a little hope for the human race. It really does.
