\xa0Quotes from the episode:
- \u201cA lot of people have the, "Don't work in your business, work on your business". Well my philosophy has always been you work on the people in your business so that they work on the business for you.\u201d
- \u201cIf you've got a Tom Brady, you don't put him at center, you don't put him at wide receiver. You put him at quarterback. You don't worry about filling in the weak spots. You take his strengths and you run because you are only going to have Tom Brady so long.\u201d
