They cancelled. We thought it would have been a really unique special thing. They totally screwed us and we ended up losing the whole function. It is ridiculous for a city in such financial shape to deal in such an unprofessional manner.

I was just upset because they were so unprofessional to me. For us to be in financial ruins in this city and for somebody to arbitrarily change their minds is ridiculous. We were going to employ 100 security detail. They issued me a preliminary contract; we could've done something legally. I was very disappointed. They have one of the biggest venues in the city that is probably going to sit dark [on] one of the biggest weekends that Detroit will have for a long time.

I really thought Brady did a good job for us tonight. He was poised, and his passes were on the money. But we just couldn't pull it out.

[To Bertha, it looked filthy and infected. She refused to go.] I was scared, ... I thought my grandma was going to die.

When that happened I thought the game was over. I thought it was going to be my fault that we were going to lose the game.

Swain played a good, strong pressing defense against us, and we didn't handle it well in the second half. But a win is a win, even if it isn't pretty.
