I felt like I was part of the new era of the Seattle Seahawks, |
I still have the original tapes that had the BASIC that we brought from Boston to Albuquerque that had the first versions of BASIC on them. |
I think eventually we would have evaluated and updated all our systems, but Y2K got us started early, and we maintained that foundation, |
I think it's fantastic. It's great to be part of a franchise and have the players, coaches and fans see that national recognition and enjoy it. |
I think we got over the hump today. I told the team we don't have to talk about 1984 anymore. |
I was at the Super Bowl last year just hoping that one day we'd be able to get there. |
I was at the Super Bowl last year just hoping that one day we'd be able to get there. I may seem like a mild-mannered guy, but my gut was churning inside: 'Let's win this game. Just win this game. We've got to win this game. |
I'm just really excited and proud of what we've been able to accomplish. I've been a patient owner of the franchise, and to see the city and the region rally around the team has been really heart-warming. |
I'm just so happy for Mike. We had some ups and downs, plus exits in the first round of the play-offs. To be going into the Super Bowl after all that, it is fantastic. He is just a great coach. |
I'm not sure it has completely sunk in yet, but there is just a great feeling of warmth and satisfaction and joy, especially for all of the fans that have followed the team. You heard them out there today. Just to be part of that and to bring an NFC championship to Seattle, how amazing is that? |
I've really enjoyed being the owner of the Trail Blazers. I've tried hard to bring the city a championship. Now we are in a tough rebuilding process with a broken financial model. We have asked for help in fixing it. If I have to sell the team or if it can't continue, that will be sad. |
If I have to sell the team or if it can't continue, that will be sad. But sports franchises really only work if the community and ownership are in a mutually beneficial partnership. |
In my own work, I've tried to anticipate what's coming over the horizon, to hasten its arrival, and to apply it to people's lives in a meaningful way. |
Incredible feeling of emptiness. It's a missed opportunity. |
It is part of our heritage and part of the landscape. |
