I knew I was in trouble when I got to the bottom of the run.
driving knew landed line needed safe slowing track
I knew the track was slowing down so I was going to have to have a big-time run, ... I needed to make up 18-hundreths on the Russians. And you can't do that driving a safe line, so I went to the other line and landed on my head. That's racing.

It's not going to be a sad thing. It's just part of life and I certainly can deal with it.

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.

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.

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.

dollars jordan michael million move strong time word
It's time for me to move on. I'm not Michael Jordan or one of those guys. I'm not making a million dollars at this. 'Retire' is a pretty strong word for a bobsledder. It's more like I've got to find something else to do. Michael Jordan retires. Bobsledders find another job.

It's an amazing track. It's going to be a crapshoot. It has every type of corner and every type of speed killer that you can think of and if you don't hit every corner perfectly, you're going to find yourself in 10th place.
blood drive extreme foot funny hit originally pain quickly realized run split start worse
It kind of clipped my foot and split through it. The pain started to get extreme and originally I thought I just hit a funny bone. I still had to drive the sled down the track, but then I could just feel the blood to start to run out of my shoe. When I got to the bottom, I quickly realized it was worse than I thought.

It will be the same thing as the two-man, get the sled down the hill without beating up too many walls.
