Brian has done a fantastic job and I sincerely hope he is allowed to continue as manager.

I have made my decision, and there is no going back for me now.

I feel the time is right to call it a day with Ireland.

It's a minor thing but bad timing, obviously. It will require 4-6 weeks off. But the good part is I've never had one of these that didn't heal well.

Everybody knows what it's like to cover him. I didn't think it would be this hard (to cover him). He played like he played all year. He's a great player.

Bob Wood did more for the good of the town than any other person of his generation.

Although Bob was a Republican and a conservative, he took great pride in the regularity with which the committee under his leadership voted with unanimity, ... He could talk to everyone and would fairly consider issues, and further evidence of this is the frequency with which he was appointed to conference committees to resolve differences in legislation between the House and the Senate.

Failing to qualify was a huge disappointment for me personally. I missed the last World Cup because of injury and this time we ended up finishing fourth in Group Four so we didn't go through.
