Who in the world is Jim Sorgi?

He actually looks pretty good on paper. We must prepare for him.

"There are a lot of Cleveland fans in Michigan from where I'm from," Sorgi said. "I've gotten a lot of voice mails from Cleveland fans saying 'You need to play well, you need to beat these guys.' I've given them the same old speech. All I can say is I'll do my best and see what happens."

"You have to go out and play hard and play well," he said. "We'll have a lot of young guys in there, so I have to make sure they're all on the same page with me."
