Thats where Im at withit. Ive moved forward. Im done with that situation, and Im just focused onmy football career. One thing I dont want to do is be a distraction to thisteam, to this organization. And I wont be that.
My teammates stuck behind me 100 percent, and my family andthe organization. So Ive moved forward definitely towards the Detroit Lionsnow. And it feels good to be around a great group of guys. It feels real good.
