No doubt there will be a mad dash at the start, but for us it's a matter of how quickly some of them stop. There will be several of them backing up at the 3/8th pole, and hopefully they don't get in our way when we're running from the back.

I do think it's one of the dynamics in this hundred-yard dash now.

It is a priority, but we have to take the circumstances into consideration and set goals that are realistic. It's like saying I'm going to run the 100-yard dash in five seconds -- it's not going to happen. If we had the numbers, it would be a goal of ours.

A TV touchstone for me is 'The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd.' That series was whimsical and smart and had the mix of comedy and drama that I now trade in - but with a dash of magical realism. I wanted to be Molly Dodd, but more than that, I wanted to be Jay Tarses, who created the show.

A lot of people put stock in 40-yard dash times. If you go back and research it and pull out Ray Lewis' numbers, you will see that they are extremely close. Almost identical. I'm not saying this kid is Ray Lewis, but I'm saying he has some of those same type qualities and same type of demeanor.
