I don't know if there's been a better receiver than (Race) since I've been here. And as a group, this could be the best group of receivers we've ever had.

Dennis and I and Crawford had a heck of a race,

Our truck was decent, but it wasn't anything like his. He won the race. I could not accelerate off the corner like he could.

Dennis and I and Crawford had a heck of a race. One minute, I thought Dennis was going to win. Then I thought Crawford was going to win. Then I thought maybe I could win it. It was fun.

And I always like to stress, it's not a quota, not a set-aside, it's not about race, it's about giving opportunities to demonstrate their abilities to do work with the Federal Government.

Those in blue suits who use thinly veiled race symbols -- when they say welfare and crime and three strikes and anti- affirmative action -- they are sending messages more profound their language.
