Everything, in retrospect, is obvious. But if everything were obvious, authors of histories of financial folly would be rich . . .

These things are always easier to say in retrospect that you shouldn't have done it. We did it because I think he deserved it. He asked for it. Based on what he had done for the Giants, I think he deserved it at the time. He played more games than anyone else on the team ? 152 games ? he was the MVP again. Possibly by showing that respect for him and what he had done for the Giants, it might have been another motivation and inspiration for him to give the best he possibly could for the Giants.

In retrospect, if we'd have done that it might have helped.

I think it combines an outrageously obvious agenda with outstanding artistry.

We pass through the present with our eyes blindfolded. We are permitted merely to sense and guess at what we are actually experiencing. Only later when the cloth is untied can we glance at the past and find out what we have experienced and what meaning it has.

In retrospect there were failures enough to go around. There were failures before the storm and failures after the storm.
