I was like, \u2018Man this is the week of the Super Bowl and you\u2019re just going in?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo then I was looking around, and I\u2019m like \u2018OK, where is the security?\u2019 I looked and for some reason we didn\u2019t have regular police\u00a0\u2014 coach was smart enough to have rent-a-cops on our floor instead of regular police like we usually do. I scratched my head but I was like, \u2018OK, uh, that\u2019s a good thing \u2019cause . . .\u2019 that\u2019s it.
