I think it started at the end of the year. That year Brett started off pretty strong and I think Mike started feeling comfortable with Brett and gave him more to handle. That's all Brett needed.

I'm jamming 'Black Sabbath Vol. 4' all the time. Zappa's 'Cruising With Ruben & The Jets.' A lot of Gong lately. Some Hawkwind. The Residents' 'Duck Stab' is amazing. Some Fugs. Lots of stuff, man. I'm pretty schizophrenic with records.

My favorite records are, like, The Pretty Things' 'Parachute' and 'S.F. Sorrow' and The Mothers of Invention's 'We're Only in It for the Money' and The Kinks' 'Village Green Preservation Society' - these records that have a story - even if it's not a literal story - because of how they're sequenced and flow. It's like a novel with sound.

Things started out alright and then tapered off, ... We did some good things, we did some bad things. It?s always good to get out there and get that experience and feeling for being out there in game situations.

That drive was big for me. You don't get that many opportunities to get game experience and it was big for me to have some success out there. I needed it.

The guy never ceases to amaze me. I thought I'd seen it all in the Arizona game (when he threw four touchdowns with a broken ankle). But this? For him to play like that with all the pain that he was going through? He's one of the toughest competitors I've ever been around.
