Some people would say: 'Stay in Dallas. The situation there is good.' We're three-quarters of the way through building a brand new house in Dallas.

football fourth games gets lose poorly power quarter shape stamina staying team turns win
A poorly conditioned football team gets penalties, a poorly conditioned football team holds, a poorly conditioned football team turns the football over.

You need to have stamina ... you need to have some staying power in the fourth quarter to win football games and if you're not I think you're going to lose.
