Chris Says... 3w232z
"I think when I was younger, they thought I was just ive and just happy to be here. But I take the game really seriously. I have nights, if we don't win or I don't play well, that I don't sleep until five in the morning. I get mad. I think about the game all the time. I'm an intense player. If I wouldn't have been intense and competitive, I wouldn't be playing still."Related Stories:
