This program has been very informative and has touched upon seemingly every fundamental aspect of business. I own a minority interest in an arena football team (San Diego Riptide), and I feel I've picked up some new skills that will help me grow that business.
A lot of people need a right tackle. And, by the looks of it, the Eagles are going to need one. I don't know what they're going to do. I haven't heard from them.
South Jersey is home to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, one of the finest military installations in the world, and it was my honor to represent the base and all of those who serve there.
After a great deal of thought and discussions with my family, I have decided not to seek re-election in 2014. Politics shouldn't be a career, and I never intended to make it one.
Just pushing and shoving. That's the way I always play.
I always step back and look at - you know, look at my background in playing team sports my whole life and taking that approach into Congress. It's not about me going, and you know, feeding my ego going to Congress.
He is a good player, but the trick is don't put yourself in a situation where they know you are going to throw the ball. You keep them on their heels, keep running the ball at them, and make them think about it.
People have challenged me all my life, told me I wasn't fast enough, wasn't smart enough, but you know what? No one's ever outworked me. My definition of tired and most people's definition of tired are two totally different things.
It's never as bad as it looks, and it's never as good as it looks. Some things did happen, but we'll take care of it. You might think it looked bad, but it wasn't that bad.
I hit him and he backed up and hit me again, so I don?t know what the official saw. Joe is a good guy. We spent some time together at Tennessee. I was talking to him afterward and he was laughing about it because he knew what he did.
I'm a starting right tackle on probably most teams in this league. But it comes down to money. It's a business decision.
The first time I played him, it was like a man among boys -- he was that dominant. He tossed me around and blasted me a couple of times with that forearm shiver.
A lot of people are in politics to make friends, too, instead of making positive change. Theyre worried about getting re-elected.
Ive been blessed with a lot of great things in my life, and one of them was work ethic. And with work ethic, you can make anything happen.
