We're certainly glad to have it done. Our stance is always to try to work with the representative, John Boggs, to a conclusion of fairness to avoid the process if we can. This was something we wanted to do, and hopefully Mark will have a great 2006.

We're certainly at the point where we're not going to take any chances. He's had a zero complaint camp. When he said he had a little snag today, there's no sense of him coming out on Thursday.
approach avenues behind cardinals certainly credit found gate maybe middle month ourselves winter
We've found ourselves significantly behind the Cardinals by the month of May or the middle of May. Credit them for how well they get out the gate. Certainly over the winter we'll look at avenues to try to get out of the gate better and maybe approach things differently.

He's had a great career there. He's earned the right to make a decision of whether to stay or leave. I'm not privy to what his thought process is. He's a great player and if he chooses not to go back, then we certainly would have some interest.

I didn't know he said that. His negotiations have been fine. We certainly don't want him to go, and I'm sure he doesn't want to go either. I'm sure he wants to get it done now or table it until later so he can stop talking about it or answering questions or thinking about it. He's done a terrific job out of the gate not letting it bother him.
