I'd grade it an A-minus, B-plus. If we make a few more plays, we have an undefeated season, maybe one loss.

But whether payrolls come in at minus 10,000 or plus 10,000, it won't tell you that much.

It wouldn't [have been] a plus, it would [have been] a minus. That story is that story, and the members of Audioslave appearing in whatever form would only take away from how amazing the story is.

We don't talk a whole lot about going undefeated for the season. We do say that we want to keep that zero in the loss column, the longer, the better.

You know as well as I do that they're thinking about an undefeated season. [But] we have to take one game at a time. The start has really helped them, we don't want to stop winning right now.

I didn't agonize over it. It was easy. We had a plus-minus system, and those guys weren't in the top five, top eight.
