My best friend in the NFL was the sideline. I was fast enough that I knew I could get there before anyone could catch me. You don't have that here. You run into a wall.

I knew I had my work cut out because he is a good player. There's a lot of pressure on these matches, so I'm glad to have got through.
I knew of three folks that did quite a bit of work for the city and thought they'd be good. One of them said it was just too much for them. So we contacted the two other companies during Christmas and put both options in front of the commissioners.
