I grew up in Los Angeles, and I was always fascinated by the La Brea Tar Pits.

Next year, our aspirations are huge. We're going to have the world's biggest tennis tournament next year that's going to have tens of thousands of people that will play all over the country and they will all feed into Las Vegas. We'll have this big, mammoth draw the week before where probably 128 people all play for a chance to get into the main draw of the tournament and we're going to film it (for The Tennis Channel) and we're going to make it like an 'American Idol' type of thing. It's going to be cool.

I believe with a certainty, in my opinion, he is the finest running back I have ever seen in professional football. And I know people say: 'Well what about Jim Brown? And what about Gale Sayers?' That's all well and good, but I tell you what, in the era that we're in now where you have defensive linemen that weigh 300 pounds and run 4.75, and these mammoth guys that are playing linebacker, I think with a certainty, in my opinion, he is the finest running back that I have ever seen.

We're still working on it. We've just been on a mammoth hunt for a singer. Because of the singers the three of us have had in the past, it's sort of a big thing to measure anybody by. As for the music itself, it's a really weird cross between northern soul, reggae, New Order, Stones Roses and the Smiths. The three basses work together on a few tracks, which I was delighted about, because everyone was laughing at us for wanting to do it.

We are excited about the opportunity to work with Mammoth on their transformation into a world-class resort destination with a real estate component to match one of the continent's finest mountains,

Dinosaurs are the jumper cables to the human mind.

It took a mammoth effort to prioritize patients and put a plan into place. Our home aid workers can't afford to take car services from one side of the Bronx to the other, so we booked microbuses, vans and town cars when we saw this thing coming.

In certain aspects, I would suggest that students should go for a budget hotel because then they have more responsibility and are exposed to a wider picture in a short duration. In a big hotel where there is a huge hierarchy, in both length and breadth, the scope to get even the basics of all operations is a mammoth task. Also, a budget hotel has promotional advantages, which is quicker, easier and comparatively competitive as far as the package is concerned.

I don't talk about winning and losing, even if we're the mammoth favorite. I talk about what we have to do to get us in position to win and what we have to do to win. You have to get guys mentally ready and take on personal challenges as a team. We're going to fight them. That's what you have to do as a coaching staff, get them out there to fight them.

The great fans of the Colorado Mammoth have played a huge role in allowing us to reach this goal.
