Honestly, there was some discussion on our coaching staff as to who really should continue being the starter. That was a real thing that happened. They were kind of different types; Mark was a little more steady early on than Brett. There was something appealing to a coach about that. Clearly, I had a decision to make.

I am very pleased to announce that we were able to raise over $190,000 for Northwest Medical Teams tonight for people in the New Orleans area. A football game seems rather trivial when you consider what those folks are going through.

Did I feel we needed it? No more than normal, that part of it. Did I want it? Yes. All the things that were talked about and any number of things this season, I joked about it, but it was true. I'm human just like anyone else.
