The offensive line and defensive line are coming together well. We're working very hard and we're always getting better. I can't remember either side being this good.

It was a lot of years before I got something I wanted to sing in front of other people.

We realize it's going to be even harder to win because everyone out there wants to beat us. The way I look at it, any team can beat us and anything can happen out there, so the team that we face each week is our biggest threat. Our quest is to repeat as champions. To do that, we have to take it one game at a time and continue to work hard.

My values tend to gravitate toward the older ways. There is a high degree of honor in being a troubadour. You sure can't be doing it for the money.
