It's the business that you guys are in too. We try to get as much information as we can and make the best decisions that we can for the football team.

The only thing I can cheer for in Philadelphia is the national anthem.

I was out of the country for a period of time but followed everything closely through other people in our organization and we've made the decisions that we felt were right for the football team and we'll continue to do that and be as diligent as we can going forward.

It's time for the New England Patriots to move on and that's what our job is. And as I said, our goal is the same: to have a winning football team, to be a pillar in the community. That's what our direction is; that's what we're going to do.

There are no shortcuts to building a team each season. You build the foundation brick by brick.

Whatever success I've had it is because I've tried to understand the situation of the player. I think the coach's duty is to avoid complicating matters.

I don't think there's anybody in this organization not focused on the 49ers...I mean Chargers.
