BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

It would be best for Sam to play as many games as he can for us because this is a long-term process for the Atlanta Falcons and Sam Baker, and we want to give Sam as much experience as we can ... We're not just looking in terms of 2008. We're looking to 2009 and beyond. 
It depends on whether they want to use him as a runner or not ... The (Atlanta Falcons) started to do that with (Michael) Vick toward the end of his tenure there. They did some of the zone reads and the design runs to put the ball in his hands. It all depends on what team drafts him and where they end up playing him.
Some of these quarterbacks are just better ... There's quite a few young guys out there playing well. …Joe Flacco (Baltimore Ravens), Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons) and Matt Cassel (Patriots).
I've been connected a little bit ... Once (with the Atlanta Falcons) I hired Bill Kollar, who is Montana State football.
I hope so ... I have to believe we are starting to. It might not happen in one year but hopefully soon. We understand it takes awhile for people to turn the page. When a star player you identified with isn't on the team, it takes awhile.
It was definitely difficult seeing what happened with Vick, but I'm a Falcons fan as a whole. I wish the best for Michael Vick and hope he finds success but, for the Falcons, we're OK. We're rebuilding, and I like the direction it's going in. We can move past Michael Vick ... I feel the main reason we can is we are Falcons fans. There are some people who were Vick fans who were mad, who are still mad that Vick's gone. People in my family are mad about it still. But that means to me you weren't really a Falcons fan.
Everybody actually likes Matt Ryan, and he actually has the team looking better. I'm for Matt Ryan
No, they're still wearing the Vick jerseys, dog ... Matty Ryan, I knew he'd be good, but Vick brought the fan out that couldn't afford tickets but still had to go. A lot of people came to see No. 7.
We were sensitive to the issue of the place he held in our community when the first stories came out. And, I believe it's worth noting as well that Michael never made his situation about race. He never made it 'Us vs. Them,' and I think that helped the city move forward.
