Chris cooley

[A year ago, the Redskins were 3-5 and trying to unearth a modicum of offensive success, lacking a deep game all season long. As they were then, they are competitive in virtually every game but have found a way to win close games in Gibbs's second year back.] It's a huge difference, ... It's a completely different attitude. Last year I think we were all down and we didn't want to be around here too much.

[For the first few days on campus, the Leaks lived together in Chris' apartment. But after so many years of sharing a bedroom while growing up, that got old pretty quick.] Chris said to me, 'When is C.J. going to get an apartment, Dad?' ... They love each other, but they have to have their space.

Travelers never think that they are the foreigners.

They have nothing. They are living in trailers trying to do what they can to survive.

The other employees love Chris. They take care of him, and they make sure he's doing OK.
