        After a much needed trip to Miami, it was time for me to get back on my grind. I want that ring so bad, ain't nothing stopping this time and thats facts.

After the loss, I went into a bit of depression. Everyone expected so much from me and the pressure got to me. In college I was the shit, I got three straight championship victories. They called me "Lil' Goat" saying I was the greatest quarterback in college sports and could potentially be the greatest in the NFL.

It was all going great when I got drafted by the New York Giants. I finished the regular season 14-2 which is amazing for a 25 year old rookie, but that didn't even matter.

I threw two interceptions in the first half of the Super Bowl. When the second half came around, I tried to bring the team back from the deficit but it was too late.

A couple of days later after the loss, I finally had the guts to turn in the tv and put on Sports Center. I had to know what they were saying, which probably wasn't a good idea. People in the sports world were brutal.

"Is Hunter Reece even built for the league?"

"Seems not Bill, I mean making it to the Super Bowl is one thing ...But you can't choke like this kid did"

"Yeah I have to agree with you Chelsea, Hunter Reece doesn't look cut out for the big leagues from what we saw-"

Before he could say more, I chucked the remote at the tv causing a crack in the screen.

That game still haunts me, but I now use it as a lesson. I never want to feel that way again. I had to get rid of all distractions which included me dumping my four month model girlfriend, Allison Lance. It was fun while it lasted but that's what it was from the start. Nothing more, nothing less. She was clingy too but boy did she know how to show me a good time.

After the whole ordeal I took a much needed trip to Miami to unwind and just get away. Did a bit of soul searching and I can honestly say I was ready for the upcoming season, I'm ready to head back to New York.

I put on my hoodie and my black ray-bans on to have some sort of disguise. I've been on a bit of a social media black out, making silent moves to avoid being seen.

Grabbing my luggage and bag, I head out. My driver was already outside ready to take me to the airport.

When I arrived at MIA , I tried to remain unseen. I tried to push my blonde hair into my hoodie a little more, whilst doing so I looked to the side and saw a little boy with my jersey just staring at me. I lowered my glasses for a second and smiled at him before pushing them back up.

"Oh my god! You're-"

I shushed him and smiled "you're gonna blow my cover little dude"
