Rod's probably our best athlete. He was a little down about the (Aiken game), but he was feeling it tonight, and he came up big for us.

I didn't know how we would play after the Aiken game. We played a little sluggish at times (tonight), but hopefully we got all of that out of our system.

We were hoping they would come out and play us man-to-man. It was hard for us to get shots against the zone.

I've seen a lot of the United States, having stayed in so many different cities and towns for work. It's such a strange and fascinating country, and instead of learning about it through a textbook, I would rather discover its history and traditions and institutions through fiction and nonfiction writers.

You know what I have noticed? And this is really sad. Flying first class is less scary than flying coach. They speak to you and they're so nice to you and they want to help you and they know you want a drink before the plane takes off. And they bring it to you without asking. If you're sitting in coach and hoping for a drink, good luck.

My life goes in four-year cycles. The World Cup is every four years and the Olympics are every four years.
