I am not aware of any evidence that the government in any way is complicit with what's going on.

(Is it) disappointing being below .500? No. Would I like to be over? Yes. But again, our record is where it stands, and we're right in the middle of a lot of teams bunched up. It's our job, our focus, to get above that. To get out of that bunch.
