Jason Verrett and Jimmie Ward spoke to the media on Wednesday afternoon after practice. Verrett is usually quiet and reserved, while Ward is a man of few words himself. That wasn’t the case Wednesday, especially in Ward’s case.
Ward talked about his chipper attitude, as it was evident he was in a talking mood. Ward was over the top when Sports Illustrated’s Grant Cohn asked him a question. Ward told Grant that he loves his show and that it’s about time he started giving him some love. It was a side of Jimmie we haven’t seen.
Here’s Ward’s explanation for being more open:
