Little Secretary

David likes to watch me.

That summer at the training camp, Lyle was having a ______ time. He had that look in his eyes that many young players and some old players get when things aren't going well. One morning Lyle came into my office and he looked like he hadn't slept. Here was a huge man, with his head about as ______ as it could go. We talked, or rather, I ______. The main point was that Lyle felt his career(职业生涯)was over and it would be best for him and for the team if he retired(退役).He said ______ for disappointing(使失望)us since we had just traded for him.
Lyle was always an energetic person. This is one of the reasons why he was a good player.
