We like opening for friends, or having friends open for us.

All of us are very good friends, ... It’s neat for us to be a part of it … Some people came up and told me after the season, ‘Wow, Shockey didn’t have a very good year.’ Well he caught 60 passes. It’s amazing the standards they have now for the position.

It's sort of like a tribe, a group of friends you see all the time. You travel with them, you break bread with them, ... You're part of a family in a sense. That's what surfing is or it used to be. It's become a bigger family now that everybody is so interested.

There's some things that are under our control and some that aren't. There's things we can do to impact the energy debate in this country, but online petitions won't affect the price of gas.

This is not about embarrassing people who are not a threat. Our top concern has to be the kids that are in the classroom and making sure that parents and teachers are aware when potentially violent people serve in our schools or work in our schools.

It's all in front of us now. But before we can cut down those nets, we have to win a game.
