We have our family back together now. It's just a great feeling to have him with us. This team needs Duce.

Hines is a blue-collar kind of guy. He sticks his nose in there and isn't afraid.

We're still sailing right now. We've done nothing yet.

I think he went on the Internet and found out more about him. I believe he did his research.

He was kind of off a little bit. His story had some holes and some leaks.

They said they'd love to have me back, and I would love to be back, if we could see eye to eye on some issues concerning my role in the next year. Where do I fit in the scheme of things?

Those guys set the tone, and it trickles down to the rest of us. The cohesiveness we have, that's the difference-maker. In all the years we've done well, that's been the difference.

We all got together and called him and tried to just show that we are here for him, and we feel for him. He's supposed to be here [today] and we'll embrace him because he's a family member.

When you don't have that bond, it's difficult to have any structure. You don't have that togetherness you yearn for, you don't want to spill blood, sweat and tears with your teammates. It makes for a much more difficult working environment.
