The hardest thing is to ski your count in your head. You are counting and trying to visually look down the hill to stay in synch with who your leader is. You are using visual skills and thinking.

I don't think there is anybody in the Colorado ski industry that could be tapped for this job. They need real-estate expertise, they need Wall Street expertise, and they really need someone with experience in the hospitality and travel industry.

I'm trying to make the most of my opportunities.

I'm happy with the team, I'm just not happy with my results right now. Going into Denver, I'm just trying to forget about the mistakes I've made, learn from them and move on. And if we do that, I think we'll have a good chance of being there again.

You read stuff and see stuff where people are calling me (names) and that I was trying to cheat and this and that. I don't know what I did to deserve that.

People always try to get us in linebacker battles with the other teams. But we're trying to be the best defense in the country. We're going in as a defense and to make a statement.
