Anybody who watched football last year knows they're good. But that represents a very good opportunity for us. It really does. I think somehow, if we're able to pull that off, I think it will go a long way for our confidence. I look at it as a great opportunity, and hopefully we'll be at our best when we get there.

If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries.

You lose with potential. You win with performance.

I'm a little superstitious.

Accept false steps as opportunities to learn. It's one thing to hate failure, it's another to fear it.

I just try to do the best job I possibly can - put the blinders on, go to work and be the best you can possibly be. Once you have done everything that you possibly can - you've put forth your greatest effort - then I can live with whatever's next.

Don't worry about it. It's just a bunch of guys with an odd-shaped ball.
