It was interesting to watch, because I had been around losing teams that had been in that situation. And I've seen it sent right to the post office, just mailed in. And this team didn't do that. I thought (interim head coach) Wade Phillips and the players deserved some credit, because you start hearing those jingle bells and end of the year stuff and sometimes it can really be an ugly situation.

[Competition Committee co-chair and Tennessee coach] Jeff Fisher complained, and he's a defensive guy. It started before last year, actually. In our last three [annual] reports to the teams, we said we had to do something about the illegal contact. There was just getting to be too much of it. And as we went through last season, I don't want to use the term 'death threat,' but there was going to be a clear emphasis made on clarifying the rule after the season. By the end of last year, it was well on our radar screen.

Let me get through the weekend. Right now I just don't know.

He was an upbeat fixture in and around the locker rooms and offices at One Buccaneer Place, and one of the most pleasant kids I've ever been around.

[During the 2003 season, McKay said, there were several complaints about the lax enforcement of the rules regarding contact beyond five yards of the line of scrimmage.] [Competition Committee co-chair and Tennessee coach] Jeff Fisher complained, and he's a defensive guy, ... It started before last year, actually. In our last three [annual] reports to the teams, we said we had to do something about the illegal contact. There was just getting to be too much of it.

[Nothing comes easily or early when it involves NFL owners, and a quipping Tampa Bay general manager Rich McKay said it best in March 2000, when asked when he thought realignment would become a reality:] When is our self-imposed deadline to vote on realignment? ... June 1, 2001? Talk to me on May 31, 2001.

I think the old days of the traditional hires in the NFL are coming to a close,

I remember playing those ['76 Pittsburgh] Steelers, and my God, when they walked out, we said, 'Are you kidding me?'

You can't see it from here, ... You cannot see it from here. That's Hawaii. Take a look over that Pacific Ocean. Do you see it? You don't see it from here. That's a long time ago. But it was really hard on the fans. Here's a new franchise, a new team, everybody's jacked and then, whack, these guys aren't even competitive. It was very difficult.

There were not many days in recent years when he didn't wear his USC sweatshirt,

He wanted to see it turned around. He wanted to see the loop closed. After our [NFC title game loss in St. Louis three years ago], I talked to him as soon as I got back that night. I think he was more disappointed than I was, for me and for the fans. But he'd be very happy this week.

I don't think this issue will continue to haunt us, ... What I heard was there's enough sentiment in the room [among NFL owners, executives and coaches] that they're comfortable with the risk-reward factor of the sudden-death overtime system. I don't think this is something we're going to be debating every year.

Even when we went back and looked to see if there were a lot of obvious playoff caliber teams excluded from the postseason before the eight-division realignment, once we analyzed the numbers, the answer in our opinion was no. So it didn't make any sense to act at this time.

I think 16 would be a quantum leap, where you're changing the entire outlook of the NFL,

You can't see it from here. You cannot see it from here. That's Hawaii. Take a look over that Pacific Ocean. Do you see it? You don't see it from here. That's a long time ago. But it was really hard on the fans. Here's a new franchise, a new team, everybody's jacked and then, whack, these guys aren't even competitive. It was very difficult.
