This sale is a long way from closing. We have a responsibility to run the South St. Paul market profitably up until we do close the market. |
We have fewer and fewer customers within the immediate 25-mile radius of that market. |
We need their business. For that three, four months they're down, it's real busy and it's a lot of fun. (Winter Texans) are vital. They're vital to the economy. |
We plan to consider gathering points and other market opportunities to help serve our customers as best as we can. |
When the game's on the line, I just go out there like it's a normal kick, ... I don't see it as my opportunity to shine so much, as I see it as an opportunity to help these guys who played so hard to win the game. I don't talk or speak or make eye contact with anybody before a kick. I want time on my own. (Against San Diego), we went out there on third down to kick. I got comfortable, taking my (practice) steps. I didn't really hear the crowd. The Chargers tried to ice me (with a timeout) and I waited. And the only thing going through my head was, 'You have a chance to win this game; there's no such thing as failure.' |
Who knows what would have happened if I had made that kick? |
Yeah, that's the one you live for, the one you work hard for. There wouldn't be a better feeling. It's always a possibility. It's a lifelong dream to say, 'I want to make the Super Bowl, No. 1, and then I want to win it for our team.' But then, at the same time, as long as we win by one point, I don't care how it happens. |
