At the Tour, you always have some fantastic days and some days where you hit the asphalt. Today was an asphalt day for me.
I would always love to be an athlete, but it's got to be a tough day when you have to hang up those cleats.
When Jimmie Johnson goes out early and finishes 35th, as he did Sunday, he can look at the cameras, lament about it being a tough day, and then say, 'We'll just try to get them next week at Darlington.'
Everyone gets their rough day. No one gets a free ride. Today so far, I had a good day. I got a dial tone.
If you see a defense team with dirt and mud on their backs they've had a bad day.
If we're having a tough day, we'll bring the babies on, and suddenly, these crew guys who have, like, tattoos all over their necks are cooing and fawning.
Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps.
Everyone can have a rough day at the office, as they say. I've had those myself many times when the bell rings.
