Americans sadly, are the #1 consumers worldwide. We drive the market. American citizens. That struck me - like a lightning bolt! And that probably was as impactful in terms of me having a strong desire to take action as anything.

I'm not concerned about avoiding anything that happened three years ago or worried about letdowns or things of that nature. When you use the term 'letdown' you proceed with the assumption that this is a continuation of something that happened in the past.

If our team doesn't face enough adversity early on in a season, I create it. Nothing builds a team like adversity.

I tend to attack the challenges that are right in front of me, the ones that I have today.

The good teams, the dominant teams, aren't necessarily dominant in stadiums, but they are dominant largely in moments, when they do what's required to get out of stadiums with victories.

Two reasons I come down here every year: the food and there are multiple guys here every year.

Hungry is a word that I've been analyzing here of late. It's not hunger that drives me, it's not hunger that needs to drive our football team. Hunger and thirst are things that can be quenched. We have to be a driven group, we have to seek greatness.
