But now, Dana is talking all sorts of nonsense. First he wanted me, then he didn\u2019t. The he regretted it, then he\u2019s glad he never signed me. The man talks and always changes his story. He simply doesn\u2019t stand by his words.

But one fight earlier, I\u2019d been a free agent. I was free and they didn\u2019t sign me. It happened every time. When I\u2019m free they aren\u2019t interested, when I\u2019m under contract, the offers start coming. But if you\u2019re under contract you can\u2019t sign another one.
