When you draft a player you draft a human being and you get to know these guys and you know how passionate they are and how badly they want to play. It tugs on you pretty hard. It's probably one of the toughest things I've had on the job.
We underestimated what kind of acting chops this guy had, and we now see what he's able to do when he's given the right part. He's taken his considerable acting experience, melded that with his own kind of personality, melded that with the almost mythic history he brings to the part.
I wanted to get the guys used to the road environment and not let it affect the way we play. Our conference is tough, and in order to do well, you have to play well on the road.
This guy has become famous for being really, really brilliant and really, really smart about something, but most people have no idea what it is he does.

Jerry is an extraordinary leader who has the experience and talent to help propel this division forward. He is known among his peers and team as a thoughtful and analytical leader who brings a strong base of diverse banking experience to the role. I am confident that Jerry will continue to manage this division efficiently and partner effectively with other Wachovia leaders to support our customer service and business growth goals. We are incredibly fortunate to have an individual with Jerry's talents assume this position for Wachovia.
People are doing more nesting. More people are coming in and buying for themselves.
People are careful, they want to see the outcome of the elections this time around to see how things will work out...It would possibly be in six months' time when people can make up their minds to go.
You add the cost of digital switchover and targeted help - these are very big commitments.
We don't take money for the service. We're not a full-service invention submission company. We're just offering a forum for inventors, who are pretty far along in the invention process, a place to show their wares directly to a company that has a proven track record of successfully taking products to market.
We played pretty well the second half. We got a good game from Lee Turner. He rebounded the basketball well and I?d say he was close to our leading scorer.
