“This feels like 80 degrees here. I'm from Ohio, and I played at Minnesota. I've played in cold weather.”
Charlton Keith
“Teams (like Minnesota) that aren't playing for anything are always dangerous because they play loose. You always want to jump on teams like that and not give them a chance. We knew we had to put the heat on them quick.”
Chucky Atkins
“Look at the teams we played when I was not there - Indy, Minnesota, Green Bay, Philadelphia - that's four playoff teams right there. I don't think it's a significant statistic. We just have to play better when I'm not in there or play easier teams.”
Brian Urlacher
“I know we didn't like him a whole bunch when we played against him in Minnesota, (him) stepping on bats and throwing elbows and stuff like that, but that's him. He's a guy you love to have when he's on your team, but probably not a guy you enjoy playing against.”
Aaron Rowand
“This is a good group of young guys that's eager to play. When I was coming up with the (Minnesota) Twins, they called us a Triple-A team. But then we made the playoffs. That's the direction we're headed.”
Corey Koskie
“It's been 18 to 20 degrees above average for much of Minnesota. You can expect it to be in the 40s most of next week, too.”
Paul Douglas
“He's extremely skilled. Nothing against Minnesota, but when you play that style, the first thing that comes to their mind is stay back. I think here is he going to have a chance to really open it up and we'll see how much skill he's got.”
