The night before Super Bowl XLIII and there is a palpable energy throughout the team. We couldn’t possibly be more prepared to play this game.

Christmas trees used to be collected in the regular trash truck, but this year the city is sending around a separate [...]
Well, we landed in Tampa today. It has been a pretty long day. We left Phoenix at 9:15 a.m. and touched down in Tampa around 2:30 p.m.
There was quite a crowd of people that “sent us off” this morning. It was pretty much a normal travel day — except that the destination was for the [...]
