bowl chance field finally football fresh move pro situation skills time
I think it was time for Jake to move out of the situation he was in and get a fresh start. And the Pro Bowl quarterback that you see now is something that's probably been in him all the time. He's finally getting a chance to go out on the football field and put those skills to work.
building checked house sleep super sweeping took trash woke
I was actually at my house -- the house I'm building -- sweeping up trash during the Super Bowl. I went home, took a shower, got something to eat, read a book, went to sleep and then I woke up and it was over. I checked to see who won.
bouncing days dwelling guy instead tremendous
He's going to have days like that. I've had them and I'm going to have some more. The thing that would be encouraging is him bouncing back and having one of those tremendous days where you say, 'That's the guy that we're used to seeing' and the guy we want to see. Those are the things you really want to encourage, instead of dwelling on some negatives.

business dressed forward grow guys hard hope move quick recovery showing teammates wait whether
Some of those guys are going to have to grow up quick because in this business they are not going to wait on you. We still have to move forward whether you are here or not. You just hope they have a speedy recovery and they are out there showing their teammates what they can do, and when guys are not dressed out, it's hard to see.

base democratic families labor leader legal means strategy taken union
My strategy from Day One was to reconstruct the traditional base of the Democratic Party: labor, working families and agriculture, and the legal community. We have taken labor for granted. We think getting the endorsement of the union leader means you get the votes.
against couch doubt helps home lost mean mentally physically playoffs teams three
It helps us physically and mentally because we play well at home. And you want other teams to come to your place with that doubt that 'They play well at home.' It doesn't mean everything. I've been in the playoffs where we've lost at home against Jacksonville (in the 1996 season) and I didn't get off the couch for three months.
couple crazy days gets last minute operating phone ridiculous rings week
It heats up a week before, then two days before. Then it gets ridiculous during the last couple of minutes. Sometimes the phone rings at the last minute with some crazy ideas, but I don't like operating that way.
afraid envy great hopefully huge matter opportunity run stopped team
That's a huge accomplishment for them to be able to do that. I envy what they've done. It's not a matter of being jealous. I envy it. I'm not afraid of it. At the same time, it's a great opportunity to hopefully be the team that can say we stopped the run they've had.
guys
I just see the young guys come in every year, they want what you have, to go where you've gone. You know it isn't forever, but you want to keep going.

I remember (Clerk of the Court) Buddy Irby opened the courthouse at night for us. It was round-the-clock. In my life I've never put as much focus on something as I did on the prosecution of Danny Rolling.
