Mr. Mook has openly said, 'Dancers aren't athletes,' even though the cheerleaders are allowed to perform.

I think a lot of us are starting to feel that sports are taking precedence over every other activity.

We have a deeper team than we had last year. We have quality in all areas with more athletes (100) out than in the past. We should have a nice mix of leadership and talent.

If only I knew... If only baby... If only...

When I look at all these professional athletes when they are 50 or 45 years old, they have knees that don't work at all, shoulders that don't work, back problems, and I think that that's a much more common occurrence than a guy who is 40 or 50 who has serious problems because of some steroid he was taking when he was 20.

Try not to laugh when someone says these are the world's greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the games look like a GOP convention.
