business care fourth game guys lost mean team unless until upset wins
Those guys are upset that they lost Game 1, but they're not too concerned. I was in that situation, and it's never over until that team wins that fourth game. What we did in Game 1 doesn't mean anything unless we come out and take care of business in Game 2.
easygoing fame guys looked talents
I think if you looked at Gilbert and Jamison and I, we all had different talents and I think it is the same with the guys we have here. I don't need the limelight; I don't need the fame or all the interviews. For the most part, I'm a laid-back, easygoing guy.

First of all, Hartford was the better team that night, ... But what was demoralizing was our guys played well and have nothing to show for it.

defense defensive guys line lost marks plays pressures question
How is our defensive line going to play? ... We have some guys on defense who have some experience, but what will our defense look like without Zak Keasey? We lost 127 tackles, quarterback pressures and big plays when we lost him. How they will play without him is one of the big question marks we face.

almost apology choice comment families forgotten mother nice seems ways women worse
I think it's very nice that she apologized, but in some ways the apology almost made the comment worse because she seems to have forgotten that being a mother is a real job, ... I think it's just unfortunate to try to disparage women who have made the choice of making their families a priority.
awesome best bond describe doubted matter nobody people playing talent team
It has been just awesome playing with these guys. I can't really describe the bond we all have, but day-in and day-out all we wanted to do was win. It didn't matter who scored or was getting the publicity. We all just wanted what was best for the team. There was so much talent on one team that people doubted we could put it together. Well, we did, and nobody can ever take that away from us.
