car dominant job losing mistakes tear tony underneath won
I really feel this championship is about not losing it. Tony (Stewart) had the dominant car tonight. If it didn't get out from underneath him, he probably would have won the race, and it would be a different story. We've just got to do our job and not make any more mistakes - especially on my part - and not tear the car up or do anything stupid.

ball career greatest operate player sacrifice season sit
With a player who has had the career of Brett Favre, one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game, I don't think you would ever sit him for a ball game, ... It's a long season and there are opportunities to put a young player in and still not sacrifice being efficient. As long as Rodgers is able to operate the offense, there are going to be opportunities down the road.
team
This was a team that wanted to make a statement.
finished
We finished 16th. It's not the end of the world.
help others

ok playing sound trying turn writer writers
You have a writer trying to write things that you would say, and you have to make it sound like what you would say. Fortunately, I am playing myself, so I can turn to the writers and say, 'I would do it like this,' and they are OK with that.
