blood couple drive lost pain rushing
The pain was extreme. I still had to drive the sled down the track. I could feel the blood rushing out of my shoe. That's when I got concerned. I thought I'd lost a couple toes.
deserve guys last medal none tomorrow vancouver
Tomorrow will be my last two bobsled runs. I'm not getting any younger, and I don't think I'll be able to get it done in Vancouver when I'm 40. I have a medal but none of those guys do. I really, really wanted to get it done for those guys. They deserve a medal.

Tomorrow will be my last two bobsled runs, and you'll see every ounce of energy that I have in this sport. I've got to try to do a lot better job for my teammates.

across drive needed runner sit whatever
What I don't want to do is come across like I'm making excuses. I need to get it done with whatever runner I'm on. I'm not going to sit here and say it's all runners. I needed to drive better. I needed to find a way to get it done, and I didn't do that.

coaching football love start time tooth
I made (the decision) a long time ago. I'm a little long in the tooth and I'm not getting any younger. I don't think I'll be able to get it done at 40 years old in Vancouver. I'd love to do it. It's time for me to start my football coaching career.
afraid bear boys bryant guarantee junction kids might practices ready tough
I'm afraid that some of his practices might end up being like the Junction Boys when Bear Bryant was at A&M. But his kids will be tough and disciplined. And he'll have them ready to play, I can guarantee that.
fast hoping last next pull quick
I haven't been fast in the two-man here at all, not last year, not in training. I just, for some reason, haven't been quick here. I have been fast in the four-man. ... I'm hoping we can pull it off next week.
