Keith Burns Quotations

This third record we took a lot of time to do,

We miss that. He's a great guy, a great locker-room guy, so we all miss that. That will always stick with us.

This ship is righted again, I think, and we've got the wind in our sails.

That was major. We know how explosive their offense is, so any time you can contain their running game and force (quarterback) Trent Green to go back there and pass the ball 30 or 40 times a game, I think it bodes well for us. It worked to our advantage (Monday).

Bottom line is that there were a lot of guys who were brought in here to win a Super Bowl. You can pick out a few bright spots on the season, but to me it's a complete failure. Anything less than hoisting that Lombardi Trophy is a failure.

Obviously, we weren't happy that the album wasn't coming out, ... But we said, 'If it's going to be delayed, then let's take the time to go in and find some better songs.'

We were playing at Farm Aid with those guys, and we were just passing the guitar back and forth backstage, and I played that song for him. He said, 'I love it. If you ever record that song, I want to cut it with you.'

The verdict's still out. We've been in the playoffs the last two years and didn't fare well, so I think everybody's going to be in a rush to judge. But all we do is get paid to win games around here, and so far this year, we've been able to win 13.

It's got a great mix. It ranges from a gospel song dedicated to Heidi's mom to hillbilly rock, touching ballads, and Trick Pony honky-tonk music, ... It's a fun record. We wanted to make a record that could stand on its own musically, but we also wanted people to be able to put it on and have a good time.

I think every fan that comes to the game is into the game initially, but it depends on how the game is going,
