John Kaleo Quotations

I think Shane is one of the most promising young guns in arena football, ... I think it's just a matter of time before he experiences winning a championship in his career and I don't think he's even reached his full potential yet. He's not young like he used to be, but I think he's just getting in to his best years now and I expect a lot of great things out of Shane Stafford.

That just means that I have been in the league for a long time, ... It only matters for people that are involved in Arena Football and it just doesn't mean anything to people outside of Arena Football.

I've known coach Kay since 93, ... He and I have had mutual friendship and respect for one another for 13 years and it makes it easier for me to get to the place that I'm ready to accomplish. With his coaching ways and discipline, it was definitely a factory in coming here.

I started the game and played about halfway through the game. To get hurt in the 3rd quarter and watch in the 4th quarter was tough, ... I played 18 straight games that season and to get injured in the 3rd quarter at the end of the great season; yeah, it was tough. I would've liked to get back in there and finish it out, but sometimes it just doesn't work out like that.

I was surprised to see the St. Louis franchise go because I thought that St. Louis was a great arena football town and such a great sports city, so I was just really surprised to see them go,

We definitely have experience and guys that have been productive in the game,

The buzz around the organization is that they are putting together the best squad dating back to Buffalo, ... It will be the best squad that the Destroyers organization has ever had. Don't expect a losing attitude, expect a winning attitude, because the players aren't satisfied until they have a winning atmosphere.

Maybe that's Marcum's way of getting his last laugh to all his players who left.

I'd like to give coaching a try, either in the arena league or at the college level and get into that in some capacity, ... I have some options to consider, I've had a career in real estate outside of football for the past few years so I could always fall back on that.

Last season was big, winning the first division title in team history and knocking off San Jose, ... It was just a great season, but it's a business and it was time to move on.
