This deal means that we get in the city of Pittsburgh a brand new arena, a $280 million facility that does not cost the taxpayer a single cent. This is the only plan that presents a tax-free, brand new structure for the city of Pittsburgh.
Coach Noll is not a great one for speeches. He's not the rah-rah type trying to fire us up in the locker room. He gets us ready to play and gives us a game plan that we've grown to believe is going to work. Usually it does.
I think the people of Pennsylvania would rather have a governor who is committed to being there.
I think certainly he's concerned that he's not going to get the endorsement, but we understood what the rules were from the beginning and we ought to stick to the rules.
It is important this campaign be waged on a higher level of dignity and character. We will continue to move forward with our positive message for Pennsylvania.
God knows Ed Rendell can't pay for everything he promised. We're going to have to make some tough decisions.

What I like about this team is that they're playing up. They're not playing scared, like they're waiting for the other shoe to drop. When they were 15-1 (last season), I got the feeling that they were waiting for it to end. They didn't know how long they could maintain it.
But I think at the end of the day it's going to be between Ed Rendell and myself.
I haven't cried this much since I was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
He's still talking about it. Nothing's been done.
I'm not doing this because I want to be famous and not because I want any power. In this country, the power is always with the people; the people we govern on borrowed time. I want to serve. My parents taught me to give back to the community.
I'm not a fan of gambling, but I didn't bring gambling to Pittsburgh. This is the only plan that makes sense for Pittsburgh.
I enjoy playing the game. It's hard for me to just watch it, even while broadcasting.
