Good to see that AI doesn't
(or so it seems) take himself
too seriously. These days, at least.
Funny stuff.

I didn't quite get what AI was saying in the Philly video. Was he talking about practice?

You are correct. Not a game but practice.

Yeah it was definitely funny, I've always had a soft spot for AI because I just love how he plays as an individual.

Despite him presenting himself so poorly in that Philly press conference, I have always liked AI and kind of agreed with him there. He is always banged up, and always showed up in games, so maybe sitting out a practice wasn't such a bad idea. I understand the right way to go about it would be to actually TELL THE COACH, and that the team would benefit from his presence in practice, but I always felt this was somewhat of an ego issue with him and Larry Brown.

You definitely have to appreciate the fact that he can look back laugh about the whole thing now. I got a laugh out of it when he made those comments back in Philly and got an even bigger kick out of his comments the other day. Can I give AI a TP?
