We started seven years ago and finally released our first vintage in March. It's an '07 vintage from Walla Walla, which is my old hometown. It also happens to be a world-class wine region that's just exploding on the scene right now.
It was over about 30 seconds after it started.
By 'slowest,' do you mean it took me longer than any of the other nine to reach 40,000 yards?
I also thought it was good for our offense to bounce back from a really horrible start. I think we showed that there is no panic in this team... can respond to adversity which is going to serve us well in the future.
That's pretty cool. It's another one of those things I'll be able to tell the grandkids about.
He's a very smart receiver in the slot, ... He does a great job with his moves at the top of his routes and gets himself separation. He has a lot of experience in this offense, so he really understands where we need him to be.
I'd be really surprised if he's not back next year. It's a personal decision, one he has to make. But I'd be surprised if he doesn't come back.
I'd be very surprised if he's not back next year.
He will make things as hard on me as he can, ... He takes pride in trying to put pressure on the quarterback and trying to devise schemes to confuse your protection and try to get in the backfield. If we can handle it, we are going to have opportunities to make plays.
I think both of us appreciate more now than we did the first time around the opportunity we have to be a part of this league. To be in my 13th year and still have a chance to go out and compete is certainly something I don't take for granted. I think Bill's kind of in the same boat. He really enjoys being around the players and enjoys the process of getting ready for games. That part has changed a little as well.
If we continue to play like this, it will open things up in the passing game. And if we can maintain this balance, it will make us a hard team to handle.
It just kind of starting hurting yesterday, ... One of those things.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. All Americans have an obligation to help these people rebuild their lives. I know the Dallas Cowboys have enjoyed a very strong, long-standing relationship with The Salvation Army, and as a member of the Cowboys' family I wanted to join in that support.
That's something you're not supposed to be able to do, ... and he finds a way to do it and make it be sound.
