I can't read the article due to the account/paywall, but holy sh*t is that really his direct quote? Kudos to Grill. You don't hear players getting too candid like that very often, even if coming from problematic situations. I won't pretend ISU's fanbase is faultless in that regard, but the harassment must have been pretty incessant to publicly vent like this. Welcome back to Ames, man. Glad to have you.
