I just worry about overexposure. No matter how much you wanted to watch the NFL, there were no more games between Monday night and the next Sunday. I don't want us to become like college basketball or college football where you have games on every night. That's the direction it's going in. I really don't know that it's a great direction.
I think all of the events today can be filed under unbelievable, I guess.
I think the biggest difference is Marty has been a little bit sharper the last couple of games. At key moments he's held us in the game and given us a chance to win and we're going to need that if we're going to go far in the playoffs.
I'm not going to make a lot of sense and I don't care. It comes from my heart. I am humbled and grateful and thankful. I just got to sit down. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I think they caught us at the end of a long trip. We didn't really have our legs in the third period, but we stuck with it and overcame a little bit of adversity. At the beginning of the (season) I think we would have collapsed a little bit.
The road to Easy Street goes through the sewer.
Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.
The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.
Coaches have to watch for what they don't want to see and listen to what they don't want to hear.
Knowing his coach likes him is more important to a player than anything else.
There was a hidden narrative I felt we could get into, It's about an accessible world. Family and relationships are accessible subjects.
If a guy doesn't work hard and doesn't play well, he can't lead anything. All he is, is a talker.
The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
I've never eaten just a few bites of things I liked in my life.
