People say this is the greatest offense ever. But let us play awhile. Names don't win games. You have to play the games.
If I put my name on something, I'm going to be involved. I'm not just going to put my name on it and not pay attention.
MVP, you could have picked a name out of a hat... we have a group of MVPs. You don't rely on one guy. You have to get contributions from everyone.

I stay in touch with him, but he hasn't said anything. He really hasn't.
I've been with Mo for 14 years, so I've seen everything he's done. It's mind-boggling to look at how consistent he has been over the years. He is one of the main reasons for the success of this organization.
I've been with Mo for 14 years. It's mind-boggling when you look at how consistent he's been all these years. I don't think anything he does amazes me anymore.
