What they’re saying

“I personally would address it publicly if it's a public thing and taking on the life that it's taken. But to each his own. But I'll tell you what, if it is I don't know how you walk back into practice, I mean walking back into practice after the break almost you walk into the locker room it probably feel like a Key & Peele sketch. Just like a little awkward like what do you do? Uh what's up bro? I don't know.”
