bad enamored few great losing offset pass plays run
Like I always say, it's not how many great plays you make; it's how few bad ones you make. I know fans, and even some losing coaches, are enamored with long pass completions or the great run plays, but that doesn't offset the interception or the fumble.

Trammell and (pitching coach Bob) Cluck told me after the third that they were going to take me out. And I said, 'I don't want to come out.
