Famous quotes by Kevin Byrne:
"The original prognosis is still the same."
"Getting the game together was a long, hard process, but it will be a great event,"
"We've had a lot of people working on different facets of the game. Dennis Mannion worked a great deal on the game. So did Dick Cass, our president, and (Ravens' owner) Steve Bisciotti was involved with Debbie Yow early in the process."
"Getting games such as this to Baltimore is difficult because Maryland wants home games and Navy wants home games and they both want them at their own facilities,"
"Getting these two schools to come to agree on coming to an independent site is really big. It was difficult, but in the end the reward will be a really good day, a good weekend for downtown Baltimore."
"The game will have all the amenities that normally come with our NFL games. The big screens will add a great quality to the game; it will be special to the young men playing the game as well as the fans."
"One of our charges, because of the stadium we received from the community, is to bring as many events like this to the state. This will be a great event that has been a long time coming."
"Marty confronts Don, ripping into him and demanding to know what's going on, ... Don looks at him and says, 'I'll get 'em on the next hole.'"
"He got us through a tough spot, just as he did when he was with the Dolphins."
"There is no accounting for taste and no taste for accounting."
