The amount of the revenue difference was $7, 8 million, you'll have to use that correctly. We're going to operate the way we always do, that's try to take care of our own. The team that took us to the Super Bowl and won are the guys we're looking for. We think it's to their advantage, it's to our advantage to do it that way.

Rod made the trip and won the game for us. Not only did he play a great game, but he forced the fumble that set up Gary Anderson's field goal in overtime.
If that kind of stuff won games, we'd all be doing them, including me.
Ernie's physical and relentless style of play helped the Steelers earn a reputation for being one of the NFL's toughest teams in the 1950s. He was undersized for his position, but his strength and power were among his greatest assets.

Bill's been great for us, and we've always had a great relationship. It's just great that he could continue the legacy.

We've got the draft, and we'll find some college free agents and sign a veteran free agent in a spot where we think we need help.
We've got the best labor deal in sports. We've got the best league. He's been our leader. The whole way he's done this has been wonderful.
It feels great today, I'll tell you that. The coach already told me we're going to the Super Bowl to win it, not just to be there.
I think he could run for mayor of Detroit - and probably win.
