I was upset when I heard the news, but you can't be mad because I have a bunch of great guys in front of me on the receiving corps. I'm sitting back and observing to see how things are out there in the regular season. I did notice that (the pace) picked up a little bit from the preseason.

They will need additional buses, additional employees, fuel - everything across the board goes up. Anything that improves safety, we're all for it. But the unintended consequences are too great to justify.
