I was here the last time around with the Coliseum, so I'm not real optimistic about the Los Angeles Coliseum.

I always wondered if it was going to fall down. I could feel it in my box. It felt like the stadium was moving about six inches either way. You could just feel it swaying.

It's like moving into a new neighborhood. It takes you a while to get comfortable. But I think fans are getting used to it.

I was very interested in seeing that change take place. Over the last 30-odd years that we've had Monday Night Football , the culture has changed in America. Monday night is not the same kind of night that it was in the '70s and '80s. People aren't at home. Sunday night is really when you find most people at home.

It's a bunch of nonsense. In many cases, it's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately sort of attitude.

There seems to be a lot of interest.

We are meeting with the entire National Football League membership tomorrow . . . to ratify our television rights package. I am sure you are aware we expect no problems with the ratification.

I would like Mike to coach out his career here. What's left on his contract or not left on his contract is not the issue. I think Mike is at the top of the coaching ladder and I think he'll stay there. So there's no reason for me to be thinking about changing head coaches. That thought never crosses my mind, and I don't think it ever will.

I guess the thing I like best about it [the Carson project] is it's something that could happen in a relatively short period of time.
