Ott is always talking, but you don't even hear half the stuff he says.

I think the biggest difference between then and now is that he knows exactly what he's great at. He knows what he can do and what he can't do, and it's mostly what he can do.

We've pitched them and are talking with them. Nothing is confirmed.

We've been talking about state all year long like every team in the state of Texas. But with this group here, we try to really, really tell them that they've got a chance for it.

I'm comfortable, based on my observations and just from talking to a couple of players, that there's no issue for us. Personally, it's a big issue with me. Every charter flight, I go back, see if there's a card game going on, make sure it's not getting silly, talk to the captains about it. It can really split your team if a guy loses a lot of money on a card game.

Me and my agent have told the Eagles' management that we're no longer interested in talking to them as far as the contract situation.
