creature home monday staying
I feel like I'm a creature of Monday night. I'm home and I'm staying home,
abc allow certainly few flexible fox game importance last latter lose neither networks problems progress select television understand
For the last few years, we at ABC have been lobbying for a... flexible schedule... which would allow us to select a game of importance in the latter part of the season. We'd like to think that progress has been made in this area, but one of the problems is that the other television partners, FOX and CBS, would lose one game from their inventory. Neither of those networks want to lose a game, and I can certainly understand their reasoning.
nice overtime run super
It would be a nice way for this whole run to end with the first overtime Super Bowl.
air happens original time unless
I will never repeat something verbatim on the air unless I know it's accurate. And when you go to the source, sometimes there's a better story beyond the original story. That happens all the time.
move
How could it be better than this? I think it should move here permanently.

knowledge obviously point runner smarter smith wealth
With his wealth of experience, and the knowledge he's obviously accumulated through the years, Emmitt Smith would be a much smarter runner at this point of his career.
football time
When it comes down to it, I'm thinking about football all the time. When I'm on the golf course, I'm thinking about it. It's never out of your brain.
call tough
This was as tough a call as I've had to make. It wasn't 80-20, it was 51-49.
song games want
I've always felt that the game itself is pretty much a melody and I am there to provide the lyrics. You want the lyrics to match the melody, because if you are composing a song or recording a song, it's cacophonous if they don't match.
inspirational things-in-life giving
There are some things in life where it's better to receive than to give, and massage is one of them.
