agents agreement allow bargaining believe clubs collective cute fairness field fine football gain game hard labor lose peace played player playing retaliate rules speak spirit surprised trying unwritten work
That was very distasteful to me, to retaliate so to speak like that (against the Vikings). I do believe the commissioner should look into these kind of clauses. We work so hard on trying to gain labor peace and a new collective bargaining agreement and then we as clubs allow agents to get cute and circumvent it. On the playing field there are rules and there are unwritten rules about how the game should be played in the spirit and the fairness of it all. It doesn't make sense to me that we had to lose such a fine football player this way. I was surprised by the ruling.
came fine football jump lost master ruling special surprised
That was very distasteful, our having to jump into something like that and retaliate, so to speak. I was very surprised that the special master came back with the ruling he did. It doesn't make any sense to me. But he did. And we lost a very fine football player.
butterfly fine grades next picture seem tests truck
I think he's going to be fine. He had a concussion but there are grades of concussions. If I showed him a picture of a truck he would say it's a truck and not a butterfly right now. He's pretty lucid. They'll do more tests on him but they seem to think he's going to be fine for next week.
chris fine gets tease
Chris is very steady. He's had a fine year. He gets overlooked. They tease him about it. I tease him about it.
finding fine football games guy guys lose overstated player players trick trying untalented win
I think that can be overstated just a little bit. If you have a very untalented guy who is a high-effort guy, you are going to lose every week. You like them like that, but the better player is going to win more games for you. The trick is finding those guys that are really fine football players and really don't think they are that great; they are always trying to get better.
agreed both fine game key mind ray talked
I talked with (defensive coordinator) Ray Rhodes and we both agreed that that was as fine a game executed as we could remember, all around. They were better than good. They were really good. Physical, smart, and they made key plays. They just set their mind to it and did it.

He is much more confident. He sees things much better. I can put much more on his plate now and be confident in his handling it. He is ready to play a fine football game.
amount develop emerged fair fine happy hard leader player worked
I am very, very happy for Matt. He has been through a fair amount and emerged as a very fine player and a leader of this team. He has done it the old fashioned way. He has worked hard to develop his skill.
good job proud stronger tough
I've very, very proud of the job he has done. He is stronger and better because of some of the tough things he had to go through. He and I kind of banged around a little bit, but we're in a good place now.
happiness happy
It would be an understatement to say I'm not happy about this.
hard pass return team
It was uncharacteristic of my team to have that many penalties. We had a touchdown called back, a pass to the 1 called back and a punt return called back. That's tough. That's hard to overcome.
nice played second team
It was a nice second half. The team played very, very well, especially in the second half.

basketball passionate paycheck profiling rookie talking
is that he's just not passionate enough about football. But when we started talking basketball he got excited. I think he's going to get his rookie paycheck and cruise. He also didn't do well in the psychological profiling we did on him.
