My family and I are excited to be staying in Chicago through the 2009 season. Thanks to the passion and commitment of my staff, players and the entire Rush organization over the past six years, we have been able to build a team we all can be proud of.
I went for the kick instead of two points because I felt their team was tiring.
Nashville went on a big run last year and Arizona the year before that, so I see no reason why we can't be that team this year, especially knowing the makeup of our players. They're a never-give-up bunch who have suffered through some close losses.
I don't look at the second half as easier. Every team is a challenge. Grand Rapids might be the most improved team in the league.
I don't like the fact that we are 0-1, but I think we found out we have a good football team today. They are the defending champs and a very good football team.
