He's just so good and young. He has a lot of enthusiasm and energy.

You should have heard me when they played Denver (in the AFC championship game). I was yelling, clapping and carrying on worse than a kid.

We're just going to be perched here in our La-Z-Boys and watching the game. I'm assuming Sam is going to root for the Steelers, but sometimes he roots for the other team just to get at me.

That's one of the reasons why he married me because we love sports. The other night, we watched the X-Games and I liked that. I think he was surprised to know I like sports as much as I do.

I think we played fabulous. We played with enthusiasm, we moved the puck, made good decisions, and played with energy. Any flaws (I point out), I would just be nit-picking. I thought we played well across the board. I'm really happy.

[Murdock's enthusiasm proved contagious.] He's got more energy than anybody I've ever met, ... North Carolina is lucky to have a man of that vision being so active in the state.
