Jerry Jones on the Ticket: We are "America's Team"

Thanks to trickblue from a sports forum:
Jerry on The Ticket...

a) (on the TO situation) We had inside info in regards to signing Key. I never had a second thought about it.
b) It is very different in several regards, but the #1 is that Key is a TEAM player first. Much like Irvin.
c) We have respect for Philly, with or without TO. McNabb is moving around better than he did against us.
d) We have given a lot of consideration on signing players or drafting players other than their ability. You have to look at the overall impact of a player in regards to negative aspects.
e) We have a tough second have with all these division games on the road, but we are a much more physical team and will make a difference late in the season.
f) We have played well on the road and expect it benefit us in the last half.
g) The biggest "Pleasant Surprise" has been Tucker. He has played two real god ballgames at a critical position. Pettiti, for a rookie, has been excellent at RT. Tyson has also been a factor and we will probably see more of him this year.
h) We recently had the NFLPA hearing in regards to the Q and are still waiting to hear the decision. We do not have any plans in the future in regards to him playing for us.
i) There were a litany of reasons he was released.
j) I love the road trips in the NFC East. We are "America's Team" and all the credit goes to Tex. We have a great fan base in those areas and TV presence when we play those division rivals.
k) This is a big game for us in Philly. It is tough to win there and would love to use that as a springboard.
