Shields provides Diaz update
“He’s doing a lot better. I’m not going to get into anything personal with him, but he had some stuff that’s been going on for a little while. It’s finally heading in the right direction. So, I’m hopeful for Nick, because he’s you know, like, a brother to me, one of my best friends. But you know, life is tough sometimes. Ups and downs, things can happen.
“Nick was dealing with something and I think it’s headed in the right direction. I haven’t felt that way in a long time, but I finally feel a lot better with that situation. But we’ll see, time will tell, because I’m so close to him, so it’s painful to watch someone struggling with some things. but I think he’s finally gonna be better.”
