We like to say that the other guys that play with us aren't even out of their diapers yet.

That's 69 guys who are going to jail someday and don't even know it yet.

It is strange that we know so little about the properties of numbers. They are our handiwork, yet they baffle us; we can fathom only a few of their intricacies. Having defined their attributes and prescribed their behavior, we are hard pressed to perceive the implications of our formulas.

Politicians are like diapers, they should be changed often and for the same reason.

One player told me some guys don't play first-year events and then wait for the buzz about it.

I've been telling the guys that we hadn't peaked yet and if it came soon enough we might have a chance. I'd all but written off our chances to get in (the Chase) three races ago, but Robbie (Reiser, crew chief) and the guys didn't lose the faith. We've got it turned around now.
