It's solid concrete, so it's really strong, ... It's got excellent insulation — five inches of foam with solid concrete in between. And great thermal mass — it stores up heat and dissipates it slowly.

We want to win them. It's really simple. We want to start out strong, be solid, so it's probably those three in that order. We know (we'll be on the road) before we start. It would be easy to make that an excuse but we can't do that. We have to show the other team, our fans and ourselves that, wherever we play, we can get the job done.

Brian is in isolation. He's in a concrete cell and the only thing soft is a foam mattress. We have never talked to him about what happened. I know that he is extremely sorry for what he's putting us through and he asked us to remain good grandparents.

Foam is easier to handle, and it probably costs less.

He made a good pitch. It was five inches off the plate.

We know they are extremely strong at 119, 152, 160 and 189. But we think we are solid there, too.
