I have no problem with a tribe and the governor's office negotiating duration of a contract. To talk about more gambling devices or new locations for gambling, I think, is something for the Legislature.

We'd definitely have to take a look at what went wrong in Mankato. For some reason, things went sour.

No matter how much other people are going to talk about his contract, or trade rumors or whatever, Barry is the last guy who will be affected by it. He's just so mentally strong, and that was one of the ways he really helped me last year. He's the same guy every day, win or lose, and that's how you have to be. It's not easy, but he's got the mental side of the game locked down. Nothing bothers him.
