If I may make a football analogy, we're a team whether we're a football team or community or the United States of America. We are part of a team and I believe the people on that team have a right, but they also have the obligation if there is something that is not good or we don't agree on, to speak about it.

Do we need a top-flight quarterback? Do human beings need air to breath?

I have always believed that you win as part of a team effort. I've learned that if everybody does a little bit, it adds up to a lot.

I have never asked to be the highest-paid coach in football. I have never asked to be paid like a Super Bowl-winning coach. I have never asked for more power.

I don't take vacations. I don't get sick. I don't observe major holidays. I'm a jack hammer.

People talk about cold weather and it'd be tough to catch balls. But the greatest catcher of all time, Michael Crabtree, catches everything. It's unbelievable. In the northern snowlands, down to the tropics' sunny scenes, he's catching the football. Where they throw a football, he'll be catching it.

The high road's the only road I know. Let's keep on that way.
