Day Two: Johnny Damon is a lying weasel

In Day Two of "I hate Johnny Damon" week:

From a May 2005 interview with MLB.COM:

Damon said he would re-sign with the Red Sox, but knows the Yankees will likely be calling his agent Scott Boras in November when the free agent season officially opens.

"There's no way I can go play for the Yankees, but I know they are going to come after me hard," Damon said. "It's definitely not the most important thing to go out there for the top dollar, which the Yankees are going to offer me. It's not what I need."

What is it exactly then that you need?
