I wouldn't say it's pressure — it's more like a controlled nervousness. We've had a good season so far, but that doesn't mean anything to us right now. It's a whole different season.

We played with a little bit of pressure, played a little tight, but Madden controlled things. Things are good. We couldn't be happier.

We gave them far too many opportunities to show how good they are.

I was mainly in a state of nervousness while I wrote it - nervousness that it was far bigger and more complicated than anything I'd attempted before, and that maybe my talent just wasn't up to it and the book would have to be abandoned, or would turn out not to work at all when it was finished.

Which fiddle-strings is weakness to expredge my nerves this night!

He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.
