When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie.

So I keep singing my song.

So I keep singing my song.

When we were down nine, it became a kind of desperation time for us. But three minutes is a long time.

Marty Schottenheimer

When I was playing, it was 10 or 12 plays that determined the outcome of a game. Now, because of the balance of talent in the league, it's come down to three or four plays a game.
