The one thing that stands out is that they fly around to the ball. They have a real high level of intensity in their players on defense. Until the whistle is blown, they fight and get to the ball carrier. They never give up.

The ongoing battle of the last eight years has not been to allow us to live in our homes and pay rent to the city of New London until we die.

The only downside I can see is that we can't prepay until 2014, rather than 2010.

The only thing I could think about was the car and the bloody championship. It was a wake-up call, you know. You never think about these kinds of things. If anybody can get it back together, these guys can. One consolation is that the race isn't until 5:30 tomorrow night. So, I think we'll be okay for the race.

The players that are here from last year and the players that have joined this team are really on a mission. We're not done until that buzzer sounds tomorrow and, hopefully, we're cutting down the nets.
