Country Quote by Minkah Fitzpatrick
“I'm sorry, I can't. I just can't with country. I tried. And I can't. I know it's a cultural thing, but I have to confess it was hard to get in the zone before games when they'd blast country music. I know it maybe worked for some guys, but I'm still from New Jersey, man.”
