F.C.P.- Have you been working out?

Chandler- Yeah I have been trying to get bigger, stronger, and faster. Things like that.

Chandler- Oh yeah real firm. You know the facilities, the coach. Everything is right for me, so I am real firm.

F.C.P.- Does it make you feel good having the staff here watching you today?

Chandler- I try not to pay attention to that stuff. I just try to go out and help my team win.
