From Blake Mitchell:

Hey Nik it's great to see how good you are doing! I see you are still putting up those highlight real catches. Where you living in the offseason? Back in Texas ? Maybe I will run into you and Ted at Cowboys again...haha! Real talk..keep up the hard work. It's awesom to see a fellow 'Rider doing big things man.

Hey whats up Blake, I haven't seen you in a while and I doubt I will see you in Cowboys. That is in Arlington, TX for everyone else. I hope everything is good with you. Let me know what your up too. Keep checking the website and supporting me.

From Jeremy:

Hey Nik im a long time stamps fan and have an older jersey from alondra johnson i was just wondering of all the line backers in the league who has hit you the hardest? hope the game goes well to night make them lions look like pussy cats

The hardest hit I took was from Kyries Herbert, and he was a defensive back, no linebackers have hit me to hard. Most of the time when I come across the middle the backers can only take a step or two to hit me, so that doesn't really hurt. We took care of B.C., and we will take care of the Eskies Too.

From Harris Esparza:

what up cuz? just dropping you a line from san antonio hope the trip back to calgary went well.

Whats up Cuz, It was really good to see you over the break. Glad to see your doing good. You know whenever you and Sarah want to come down you can. Like if you two wanted to meet in Dallas or something you can stay with us for a couple days or whatever. Just let me know. Talk to you soon.

From Richard Green:

NIK WHATS UP?

Man, I don't know where to begin. First I wanted to say that I am glad that your proud of me, but I am also proud of you because what your doing. I want you to do me a favor and get your little brother back on track. I would like to see him get out of there and do something with his life that is positive. When I get back you need to come down and hang out sometime like we used to when I was younger. I am getting a deck built in the backyard so, we will have to kick it. Holla at me. My number is still the Texas one so you can always call me on it.

From Jim Nadiger:

Hi Nik. I've been very impressed by your play as of late. It's great that your getting the attention that you deserve, and for more than just catching passes. I've been reading blogs and comments where people are starting to get on # 80 about the drops the last 2 games. Tell him to keep his head up. The real fans of the game recognize that his contributions to the team go way beyond dropping a few balls. Good luck in the next few games. It would be great for a Stamps fan stuck deep in enmy territory (40 miles Northeast of Edmonton) to see the legs cut out from under the Eskimos again. Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks for the positive words, and I told Cope what you said. I don't understand how people like you and then you have a couple of bad games and they want to get rid of you. If I like someone I don't ever turn my back on them. I think that people always call themselves fans, but sometimes I question do they know what it means to be a fan. I don't like them if they win or lose, I like them regardless. My favorite team is not going to always be on top, but I don't dog them when there not. My favorite player isn't always the best, but I don't dog him when he isn't. I really thank you for supporting us and being a true fan.
