Those last two quotes are classic Rodney. Man, it's great to have him back.

Even more from Rodney:

I couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted him up on the field early, and he jogged to the back corner right away. It did look like he was trying to keep a low profile. Obviously he was successful in dodging the media guys. Welcome back Rodney!!!!

How did you look? Any sign of a limp or favoring the knee?

Reiss also posted a Part 4 to the interview.

You had yourself quite the day. Glad that it happened today.

If it would have happened tomorrow when I going to be there, my head would have exploded.

How did the other guys look?

Re: Rodney: "I know some you [media] doubted it, but I never did."
 

LOL... honestly, when the news broke that Rodney was back, and you didn't weigh in right away, I started to get worried. I had all kinds of visions ... like you hearing the news, jumping for joy, hitting your head on the overhead lighting, then twisting your ankle on your chair on the way back down, followed by falling ass-over-teakettle out a three-story window as you try to regain your balance. I could just see you laying there, bleeding on the sidewalk... big grin on your face, muttering through bloody broken teeth, "Rodney's back. Rodney's back. I told all those bastards he'd be back!"

Re: Rodney: "I know some you [media] doubted it, but I never did."
 

Ahh good to have Rodney back and hearing him talk.

Re: Rodney: "I know some you [media] doubted it, but I never did."
 

Well I must admit that when I first saw it posted I blinked and then looked again. I was just stunned but in a good way. And for a while just amazed and lost for words.

I always felt that he would be back but toward the end of the preseason. This caught me by compete surprise.

I almost expect that tomorrow, when I go down there, that he will be not be on the field. Probably and day on and a day off type of thing. That's what I expect.

But, right now I'm very happy to see a great football player play football again.

Rodney could be in a group of Vikings sacking a monastary full of unarmed monks, and he'd still claim "no one thought we could do it! We proved the doubters wrong today and carried off much plunder!"

I (heart) Rodney. He brings a smile to my face.
