There's time pressure. Nov. 15 is the date, ... Let's just get it done. We've had all year to try to get it done. We've waited for the season. Now it's time to try to get it done or not get it done. Nov. 15 is the day.

Nothing to report on him, he is retired and he will let us know if he decides otherwise -- if he is interested in us, of course.

I respect the heck out of Kenny because he swings for the fences. He will do whatever it takes to help his team win, except cheat.
