McGuffin Reflects on His Resurgence
“I don’t know what I’m doing right now, but I’m playing pretty freaking well. I’m not going to lie. I feel like I’m playing loose, I’m trusting myself. There’s a lot of passion there.” – (McGuffin)

“I think the last six months or so, I lost a little passion. I lost a little interest, and I was a little banged up as well. But I had a couple of weeks off to kind of heal and recover, and I feel like a brand new man right now.” – (McGuffin)
