Everybody was kind of skeptical

We really didn't have the team I was expecting to have, ... I'm kind of skeptical about what's going to happen next year. This year we had problems getting healthy people. Next year is not going to be any easier. We're still getting older and older. It's not like we're getting younger. Hopefully guys learn from how their bodies react and try to take care of themselves.

Even though I'm skeptical that this kind of issue is going to pull the rug out from Al Gore, I think it's a plus for the Republicans to be able to talk about foreign policy, to talk about national security and to talk about the failure of the administration of Bill Clinton and Al Gore in this one area.

I was heartbroken at first. But as soon as they told me I was too small, I just crossed them off my list, quick. Anyone who tells me I'm too small, they don't know me.

They put their pants on the way we do, although they've got longer pants. The fact that they have on yellow and bronze or whatever color, and their logo is the 'Trojans' ... they're human, just like us. This is football. Anything can happen.

I think (Jones' comments) opened Nate's eyes, ... I told him we needed him. He's probably the overall best football player on this team.
