If you're sensitive, you will have a hard time with me.
By and large, I've been healthy all my life.
Usually older players, late in the season, start to get cold.
I'm glad we were able to win this last one. I saw some good things tonight, ... It's just preseason, but we ran the ball good. I'm happy about that, and the first-team offense was pretty sharp.
I see a little progress, ... So as long as I keep seeing that, then I'm willing to give him everything I've got.
It's a very easy thing to say, 'Go get a backup quarterback.' Now tell me where to get them. You just can't dial them up.
If you got anything to you at all as an athlete and a competitor, you don't care what the circumstances are. You still got competition.

There's a line, players usually don't cross it and coaches usually don't cross it. Every once in a while you get a little temper tantrum on both sides, I certainly have had 'em. I'm not proud of those.
I'm not trying to keep anybody happy.
I have a house in Saratoga Springs.
Never let the world define you as less than Great.
