If we want a seat at the political table, we really need to be able to have the monetary resources necessary to affect elections.

We need to make sure the public understands what's happening to us. Get used to driving all night to Long Beach and sleeping on the lawn, because we are going to need to do this again.

It's all about heart. If you're willing to do it, and you're willing to sacrifice your body and put your body out there and do whatever the team needs, that's what it is.

They look at me as an individual player. What am I doing on a run play? Am I blocking for the running back? What am I doing at safety? Am I just jogging up to the play?

I tried to bring some of my friends, but they could only give me three (tickets).

It's very tough. It's not like we're out of shape, because we're in shape, we're in good condition. It's just that toward the third and fourth quarters when you've got players going both ways, it gets tough.
