We didn't get the only thing that matters, the ring, but we won some games. The whole time we knew we'd have to pay the piper.

If there is a regret, it's that we didn't win the world championship.

So a guy like that, I think I would be surprised if he didn't end up banging around a few years with somebody.

We were still good enough that we decided let's give it another shot. But we got to this year and said it's time. Rather than try to tippy-toe our way through it, we just took it all in one big shot.

I wouldn't be surprised if (Edwards), a veteran guy, gets gobbled up at some point.

I was ready to commit suicide. Then the next thing I know, I'm dancing on the table.

He may round out into a player and end up playing for 10 years, and that could make us look pretty dumb.

We pushed the envelope for a number of years there, trying to win as many games as we could. And we won a bunch of them.

Now, our team is talented but very young. We lost a number of really good players and it takes time to replace them, if you can. We're working our way through that.
