Healthy, fresh Prince says his play

LIFE is good for Prince Amukamara. He cried tears of joy this past week when he became the proud father of a daughter, Princess Paisley Amarachi, now 6 days old.

That’s justmy opinion.”

This he said matter- of- factly. Asked his thoughts about his contract situation, Amukamara, who has six career interceptions, had this to say: “To be honest, I haven’t even thought about it until [ you] brought it up, until you said about the indispensable. But because I’m here, it shows that I’ve shown promise like this guy could be here for a while. I’m probably
