“I feel like I’m 50,”
“It’s the first night I felt it burning,”
“The last time I had this burning, it was both times I blew out my knee.”
“They took an X-ray — I don’t have any loose bodies,”
“But I have fluid in my knee for some reason. And I don’t know why.
The pain is in the same spot as it was pre-surgery (in July).”
How would Jones react if doctors told him not to play?
“I’m going to be upset,”
“But I’ll probably do it anyway, until I just can’t do it anymore.”
“I probably should have come out tonight (Monday). But I can’t not play.
I’ve been preaching to the boys: ‘I don’t want to hear you’re tired.
I don’t want to hear how you’re hurting. All men on deck.’
“How is it going to look if I take myself out of games?”
