“It’s hard to put timetables on [rebuilding],” said Gilbert. “Even comparing it to building a casino, although you don’t know the exact date you’re going to open, you know what construction times are and you can get rough estimates. [With the Cavaliers], there are so many variables — how high you pick in the lottery, who you’re going to sign in free agency, how players develop, how other teams do relative to your team in your conference and your division — it’s hard really to put a firm timeframe on it. I can’t give exact numbers, but it’s always as soon as possible for us. We will continue to do everything as humanly possible, spending whatever it is we need to spend, if that will affect the outcome.” — Dan Gilbert, May 9, 2012

“The job sometimes gets confused I think because coach Parcells went into Miami just a few years before I took this job. I’ve talked to Bill about what he did there and he was football and personnel. He didn’t coach the team you’ll remember, but he was involved with the personnel even though he had a general manager and all those things.” — Mike Holmgren, May 8, 2012 on 850-AM/WKNR

All 39 passes from Brandon Weeden to Justin Blackmon which resulted in touchdowns. The first one: a scrambling, zone-splitting bomb. You know, for the critics.

He looks. He looks. He gets to Jordan. Jordan to the circle, puts the shot in the air, GOOD! The game’s over! And the Bulls have won. Jordan beat ‘em at the buzzer with a jump shot in the circle and Chicago has knocked off the Cavs 101-100. — Joe Tait, Richfield Coliseum, May 7, 1989
