I'm trying to work Hunter Spruill into it, because she will be a player. It just takes her a while, and she might be a little down now, but I'll try to cheer her up, and she's a tremendous athlete.

She can kick it as good as any guy goalie. Heck, guys come here and say 'I got to watch this' and she's good.

It was hard with the situation of the delay, you get ready and then you have to stop. I'm worried about their hunger, their appetite, they had not eaten some from 11:30 a.m. or 12 when they eat lunch, so I got them up there (to press box) to do homework and get a snack.

We know there are teams out there who have many more of those kinds of players. As soon as I get off the bus, I've known that, and I don't care who I play.

We're still trying to work things out. But there will be a statement ... an apology.

They've tried to manufacture other Marilyn Monroes and they will undoubtedly keep trying. But it won't work. She was an original.
