I think the guys understand it. If we're going to be a winning team, we have to defend. They really want to win. They recognize the fun quickly goes away if you don't win.
Larry has done a good job as our general manager. We look forward to his continued growth and development in the future.

Well, you're likely to be confirmed, as we all know.
I just hope it will work itself out. I'm sure it will.
I'll just say he saw Roe v. Wade as occupying in that area of American life a central place and as being something that people depend on, and that has come to be very strongly embedded.
Judicial excellence requires candor before confirmation. We are being asked to give the nominee enormous power.
Over the course of more than 200 years, it has found a right to equal education regardless of race. It has guaranteed an attorney and a fair trial to all Americans, rich and poor alike. It has allowed women to keep private medical decisions private. And it has allowed Americans to speak, vote and worship without interference from their government.
The judicial branch has, in its finest hours, stood firmly on the side of individuals against those who would trample their rights.
As the guardian of our rights, the Supreme Court makes decisions every year which either protect the individual or leave him at the mercy of more powerful forces in our society.
Whether interpreting the Constitution or filling in the blanks of a law or a regulation, every word of the court's opinion can widen or narrow our rights as Americans and either protect us or leave us more vulnerable to any winds that blow.
If confirmed, [Judge of the Supreme Court] will write the words that will either broaden or narrow our rights for the rest of your working life. You will be interpreting the Constitution in which we as a people place our faith and on which our freedoms as a nation rest. And on a daily basis, the words of your opinions will affect countless individuals as they seek protection behind the courthouse doors.
We give Supreme Court justices this freedom because we expect them to remain above the pull of politics, to avoid the effects of public excitement and allow a broader view, not tied to the whims of the majority at a certain moment in history.
A nominee [to Supreme Court] must possess the competence, character and temperament to serve on the bench.
