After a game: I go back to my house. It might seem kinda boring, but I go home, rest up, and relax. I live around the water. It’s a real peaceful and relaxing place. And, I’ll just hang out for a little bit.
Beaches: I love the beach. I’m right on the beach. I enjoy it. I’m from Ft. Lauderdale so I’m used to growing up on the beach and I love it here in Tampa. There are good fans and this is all I know. This is where I’ve been for my whole career. I thoroughly enjoy it.
Attractions: You know what, I’m not big on heights so I stay away from the roller coasters and all that, but the beach does me good and I’m close to my family so they can come up and visit me a lot.
Where to grab some grub: The Salt Rock is good. I like going over to Bern’s in Tampa. Charlie’s is good and some of the smaller places here like Ceviche. I like to cook at home too.
So, you’re a big steak person? I do like steak. I enjoy steak and seafood and this is a great place for that.
How do you like your steak? I like my steak cooked. I like it medium well. I know a lot of people out there are upset about that, but it has to be cooked. I don’t like to see any red.
Music: I’m open to all music. Mainly, I like techno and hip hop but I can go in any direction. It doesn’t bother me.
So, no Dallas Bull for you, huh? No, that’s obviously country music. I’m not too big on country, but I can do it here and there. It has its place.
