Gosh, he's got thick antlers and a lot of points

It was huge. We felt like we were going to get points. Even if it is ruled incomplete, we come back and we got 3rd-and-10 around the 30-yard line with three timeouts left. You've got a chance to make a couple of plays and at least get points. Yes, that was a momentum thing.

When you're up 25 points, you pull your starters out with 1:54 left in the game. It's a classy way. You don't need to rub it in.

I have a thick skin, but I have a heart.

I e-mailed a picture of it to a friend of mine, Keith Belford, who works for Boone and Crockett, and he said he'd have never believed it, ... He showed it to some people out there (at B&C headquarters in Montana), and a lot of them said it looked like it was unscoreable.

This consolidation gives us the best of both worlds: Island-wide perspective on issues like water quality and shellfish restoration, and enhanced commitment to protecting and preserving the local places where we have long had a presence. It carries the banner for the most innovative conservation work on Long Island.
