You could feel things changing. We just kept playing our game.

The president understands that those that create jobs and wealth are small businesses and innovators.

And he was worried about its impact on the energy sector.

I give them credit, because they had us playing their style at the beginning. But once we got the pressure going, everything fell into place.

I enjoyed my times spent with Paul O'Neill and I appreciate his service, ... But we continue to stay focused on jobs for the American people, growing this economy, and the results are proving that the president's policies that he's been leading on are working.

We knew they were going to make a late run. But what I did, it was for my team. Plus all the support from the fans just helped us play better.

All we knew was we needed to speed the game up to have a chance. It's not like (Mitchell) can't run the floor, because they can. But it's what we do best and we had to get it going more. We just succeeded doing it better than them at the end.

We hope and believe we have elected the next president of the United States. They're still counting and I'm confident, when it's all said and done, we will prevail.

It's tough because you know he's going to knock a few out of the gym. He's just such a great defender and you have to respect that.

I'm confident when all is said and done, we will prevail.

We wanted to sit and enjoy the game, but we were just glad we were here to do what we needed to do. For me, it was a pretty good experience.

There were a lot of happy people in that locker room. I'm just so glad we got this win.

The tax relief the president has given to this economy is working.

Measures ... sanctions, or other kind of barriers to our markets.

We did make great progress today. We will be back in the morning.

He likes to see debate. He thinks it's very healthy, very constructive for the process. Oftentimes, he has to make the deciding decision when he has his advisers on both sides of the same subject.

I'm just trying to find ways to get all our guys involved and pick up a win - it doesn't matter if I score. By halftime, Haywood was getting the best of us, but we turned it around and we had guys make some great plays.

It has been an interesting journey when you look at it like that. But this has been our goal since the beginning, and I think everything that's happened has just helped draw us closer together and made us more determined.
